University of Dayton junior forward Chris Wright has announced that he is withdrawing his name from this year?s NBA draft and is returning to the Flyers for his senior season.

Wright, the leading scorer and rebounder for UD?s 2010 NIT championship team, announced he was entering his name in the draft on April 7. However, he did not sign with an agent which allowed him to retain his collegiate eligibility.

?I have decided to return to UD for my senior season and have pulled my name out of this year?s NBA draft,? Wright said. ?When I announced I was investigating the draft, I said my three main goals as a Dayton Flyer were to graduate, to raise the national profile of our program, and to put myself in position to play at the highest level. I?m excited about accomplishing these three goals.?
