Oh weird I thought the Tampa Bay was NBA sanctioned. If this is the case, he's not coming back. "Due to an NCAA rule change instituted in 2019, players are allowed to hire an agent without forfeiting their college eligibility. Players can also elect to return to school if they go undrafted, but this rule only applies to players who participate in the NBA Draft Combine."

He has until today to decide to return.

So because he didn't compete in the officially sanctioned NBA Draft Combine, he has to fully withdraw his name from the NBA draft to return to school, and doesn't get to use the "I didn't get drafted" card.

So at least we know today.

Crickets from the Raiders social media

I assume it's worth nothing, but his personal Twitter still says Raider Roundball senior.

Love is on the 21-22 roster on the WSU website. That seems promising.

Is that a new thing or has he stayed on it?

If he stays, hopefully he gets a good NIL deal locally.

Love has been listed on the roster for weeks. That doesn’t mean anything.

I look forward to his return and hope the coach gives more time at power forward to improve outside shot and drive to basket.

I think he is back folks....he changed his Instagram pic to him in a raider uniform while posting a pic of banners that alluded to 2022 getting another one....cryptic post for sure...but i believe this is something folks!

I'm a generation older than the college kids so I'm pretty out of touch but my understanding is that this is HUGE! I really feel like he is coming back.

I'm sad that it didn't work out for him but selfishly I am thrilled of getting him back for one more shot.

Not confirmed but I really think Loudon is coming back.

Wow!

Not seeing what you're seeing on his IG. So it's not there or he deleted it.
He has a pic on his IG story of the new banner for 2021 regular season champions but no commentary about anything for 2022.

To the social media watchers: what did his Instagram profile say last time you checked? I hadn’t looked at it prior to this, but it currently says “Raider Roundball Redshirt Senior.” Nothing else.

Could accurately, technically apply to last year if he just hasn’t changed it, but it seems pretty specific and limited for someone looking to move up. 🤔

It hasn't changed since last year

NBA announces 88 early entry candidates withdraw from 2021 Draft

That is great news if he does return. I don’t think Europe is a good option for him. It would be a killer to dream of NBA.
