2025 NBA Draft: Which college prospects withdrew before deadline?

2025 NBA Draft: Which college prospects withdrew before deadline?

We are less than one month away from the 2025 NBA Draft, with Wednesday evening marking the deadline for early entrants to withdraw their names from consideration and maintain college eligibility.

Considering the decreased number of early entrants, the draft was already thin. Usually, there were over 200 early entrants; this year, the number barely reached triple digits.

You can thank NIL for that. Power programs are getting flooded with money. You also can’t blame student athletes for going back to school for the financial gain–when it’s more than it would be in the NBA if they were projected to finish outside of the first round.

Players also go back to improve their stock heading into the 2026 NBA Draft, expected to be spearheaded by A.J. Dybantsa, Daryyn Peterson and Cameron Boozer, the son of Carlos Boozer (we’re officially old, people).

Anyway, there were plenty of intriguing names that ultimately withdrew their names over the last 48-72 hours. What does the full list look like? Let’s examine!

• Quincy Ballard, (transfer to Mississippi State)
• Nathan Bittle, Oregon
• Yaxel Lendeborg, (transfer to Michigan)
