Oso Ighodaro said before Marquette's season that he was unlikely to use his fifth season of eligibility.

The 6-foot-11 big man made that official Tuesday when he announced on social media that he will be entering the NBA draft.

Ighodaro was named to the all-Big East second team this season. He averaged 13.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.

With his length and athleticism, Ighodaro is seen as a late first-round or early second-round pick. He piled up 224 assists over the last two seasons, with his ball-handling and play-making ability intriguing to NBA teams despite Ighodaro being a non-shooter.

Ighodaro improved rapidly after playing just 38 minutes as a freshman in the 2020-21 season for former MU coach Steve Wojciechowski. Ighodaro's unique skills were harnessed under Shaka Smart, and he became a hub of the Golden Eagles' high-powered offense alongside point guard Tyler Kolek over the last two seasons.

Ighodaro was also honored as the Big East scholar-athlete of the year. He completed his finance degree in three years, and is finishing up his MBA.
