Baker is the best player on the Shockers, but he still has room for improvement. He needs to be able to play the point guard position at the next level, which is why he should return to the Shockers for his senior season.

Alexander is finally starting to play at a high level for the Jayhawks. He should return for his sophomore season so he can dominate the Big 12 as one of the best power forwards in the land.

Paige has not lived up to the hype so far in his first two seasons at North Carolina. He needs to score more consistently on the offensive end if he wants to make it in the NBA. He should stay in college all four years.

Turner will most likely leave Texas after this season, because he is projected to be a lottery pick -- and you can't blame him for that. If Turner stayed, he could develop his game on both ends of the floor, as he has not lived up to expectations so far for the Longhorns.

Dekker has always been the second option behind Frank Kaminsky for the Badgers. This is why he should stay for his senior season to show the nation how good he can be as the go-to option on a terrific team.
