Sophomore point guard decides to return for next season

Jason Gardner can't say he wasn't warned.

When the 5-foot-10 sophomore point guard made himself eligible for the NBA Draft in April, many analysts considered him to be a fringe second-round pick. The general consensus was that Gardner needed at least one more season of grooming before he was ready for the pros.

Yesterday, Gardner came to that same conclusion, opting to return to the UA for his junior season.
