Dalen Terry has announced that he will remain in the 2022 NBA Draft.

“It’s been a life-long dream of mine to play at the highest level,” Terry wrote on Twitter. “After many conversations with the people closest to me, I’ve decided to remain in the 2022 NBA Draft.

“Wildcat Nation, I cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. Just know that I will always be a Wildcat forever.”

Terry has increased his draft stock in recent weeks and is now a projected first round pick with the potential to enter the lottery.

Terquavion Smith, a projected first-round pick, is withdrawing from the NBA draft and returning to NC State for his sophomore season.

"I've decided to play next season for NC State, the first team to offer me a scholarship," Smith said via text. "I owe so much to Todd Ramasar, the agent who walked me through this process; Ross McMains, the incredible coach who prepared me so well for all I've just gone through, and the Life Sports Agency team. This past month has been eye opening on so many ways. Todd, Ross, and their team helped put me on the NBA map."

Smith was the No. 22 prospect in the ESPN 100.

"I have to be honest and admit money has never been at the center of my thoughts," he said. "My agent explained to me that teams as high as the late teens, through the rest of the first round, all have me ranked as a first-round talent. It's exciting to hear that. But I told him I have more work to do. I like school and my college in particular. Remember, my last two years have been so strange, thanks to the pandemic. I just want one more season to get everything right and just be a college student."

A late bloomer physically, Smith wasn't considered a major prospect coming out of Farmville (North Carolina) Central High School, despite winning three consecutive state championships.

Five-star forward Elijah Fisher announced his commitment to Texas Tech on Thursday. Fisher, who also intends to reclassify into the 2022 class, will be eligible to play this upcoming fall.

Fisher chose the Red Raiders over Kentucky, Louisville, and Memphis.

Fisher was originally ranked as one of the top 15 prospects of the 2023 class.

Texas Tech has now signed four freshmen for its 2022 class. 

Henri Veesaar has committed to the University of Arizona as part of the incoming class of 2022.

Veesaar is the top international prospect.

"I believe in [coach] Tommy Lloyd's philosophy and how he coaches," Veesaar said. "I've had my eyes on playing college basketball for some time now, and I believe that Arizona is a great fit to make a jump between youth and professional sport."

Five-star recruit Julian Phillips announced his commitment to Tennessee on Thursday.

Phillips was the last available five-star recruit in the Class of 2022.

Currently ranked No. 13 in the ESPN 100, Phillips was released from his letter of intent at LSU in March.

Phillips chose Tennessee over Auburn and a late push from the G League Ignite.
