(670 The Score) Illinois guard Ayo Dosunmu will return to school for his junior season, he announced on Twitter on Friday night.

The 6-foot-5 Dosunmu had entered his name into the NBA Draft but plans to withdraw it. He was expected to be taken later in the second round or go undrafted.

Instead, his focus will be on the Illini, for whom he earned second-team all-Big Ten honors in 2019-'20, when he averaged 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

"Since a kid, I've been working," Dosunmu said in a video. "My dream is to play in the NBA. But first, I need that national championship."
