After much anticipation and an experience more nerve-racking than the infamous Lebron James’ “Decision,” sophomore forward Calvin Leslie announced Wednesday he will return to play his junior season for the N.C. State men’s basketball team.

“It was a tough decision,” Leslie said. “I mean, it’s a big decision to make like that for anybody. I just figured, we started a good thing last year, I might as well finish it. That was sort of the main idea.”

When asked if any single person helped influence his decision, Leslie chuckled and smiled.

“Well, that’s funny you said that because I think I had one individual that was worse than all the fans,” Leslie said. “He’s coming to this school this year and he goes by the name of Rodney Purvis. He texted me every night he could. He was just saying how he’d love to play with me and he hoped I’d come all.”
