Terrence Jones is coming back to UK

Terrence Jones announced he was returning to UK for another season on Twitter Saturday.

“I’ve been enjoying being a college player & plan on striving to reach my goal of winning #8 here at UK. I can’t leave the BBN just yet,” Jones tweeted at 4:17 p.m.

“Last year was an unbelievable experience, but we left a lot on the table,” Jones said in a press release. “I’ve decided to come back and help us get back to the Final Four and bring the Big Blue Nation a National Championship.”

Jones has been projected as a top-15 pick, and John Calipari said NBA personnel told Jones at the Kentucky Combine he could play his way into top-5 range with another year.

“I’m very happy for Terrence and his family because he did the right thing for his future but he had to come to that conclusion,” Calipari tweeted after the decision. “I’m very happy for Terrence and his family because he did the right thing for his future but he had to come to that conclusion.”

Jones averaged 15.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game his freshman season.

Next season, Jones will pair up with Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist and Kyle Wiltjer in the frontcourt.

“I’m happy for my homie @TerrenceJones1 staying for his sophomore season!! Can really learn a lot from him,” Gilchrist tweeted.

Calipari tweeted before the decision that it was a “Big day for him and his family. He knows I love him.”

Jones seemed conflicted about his decision. Earlier in the week, his mother said he would use all the time available to make his decision. Sunday at midnight is the deadline. On Thursday, he tweeted that he was 50-50, and on Saturday morning he tweeted that he “Just woke up from a long night of tossing and turning from this decision I have to make today.”
