Could Harrison Ingram possibly come back to North Carolina? Despite declaring for the NBA Draft recently and appearing committed to moving forward, there’s a slim chance he might return to college.
When Harrison Ingram announced his NBA Draft entry, it seemed like he was set on pursuing a pro career. However, a college basketball analyst hinted that the UNC standout could reconsider returning to Chapel Hill.
According to Jon Rothstein, Ingram plans to stay in the 2024 NBA Draft but wants to keep his college eligibility intact during the process.
Realistically, the odds of Ingram returning to North Carolina are low. His strategy makes sense—he’s exploring pro options while keeping college as a backup plan, giving him time to make a definitive decision.
While this news might not help UNC’s roster planning, it’s likely they’re moving forward without him. Unless circumstances drastically change during the NBA Draft period, don’t count on seeing Ingram back with UNC basketball.
