Wake Forest's John Collins announces he will remain in the NBA draft. Not sure anyone's stock rose as much as his from a year ago. https://t.co/3SetGaBsrm

John Collins not coming back to Wake Forest hurts but the fact they have a lotto talent developed under Danny Manning speaks volumes

I think John’s tweet sums it up best. We all forever bleed old gold and black. Once a Deac, always a Deac. John will be welcomed back anytime with open arms.
John, we will miss you and we wish you nothing but the best going forward as you take this next step in your career! GO DEACS!
