PROVO, Utah — Robert Wright III paid a quick visit to college basketball's transfer portal and apparently realized he was happy where he was at BYU.

Multiple reports, including 247 Sports, say the guard has changed his mind and will return to the Cougars for his junior season.

Wright entered the transfer portal on April 8 after just one season in Provo. According to 247 Sports, Wright's final choice came down to Kentucky and BYU, with the star guard choosing the latter.

The sophomore point guard started in all 35 games for the Cougars and averaged 18.1 points last season, in which he was named All-Big 12 Third Team.

Wright transferred to BYU from Baylor a season ago and instantly became a star for the Cougars, helping lead the team to a 23-12 record and an NCAA Tournament invitation.
