Friday night, a report from Greg Carey of MetroNews surfaced that WVU guard Miles McBride informed head coach Bob Huggins that he would remain in the 2021 NBA Draft and not return to WVU. 

Almost 24 hours later, McBride took to social media to thank the fans for their support and reflected on his two years at West Virginia.

I’m very grateful to have worn the blue & gold these past two years and represent West Virginia! Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me on this journey, but I have officially decided with my family and coaches that I’ll be staying in the 2021 NBA DRAFT #keepgoing pic.twitter.com/K4ultH2r4z
