A week after declaring for the 2023 WNBA Draft, UCLA Bruinsย guard Charisma Osborne will return to school for her fifth season of eligibility.
A projected first-round pick, Osborne announced her change of plans on social media on Wednesday.
โItโs always go Bruins,โ she wrote on Twitter alongside a highlight video which ended with a quick note to fans: โPauley, Iโll see you again soon.โ
Itโs always go bruins ๐๐
Osborne, whoโs fresh off completing her senior year with the Bruins, was granted an extra year of collegiate eligibility due to the COVID-impacted 2020-2021 season. A three-time All-Pac 12 selection, Osborne averaged 15.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists overย her four seasons at UCLA.
Earlier this month, the Bruinsโ season ended with a loss to No. 1 seed South Carolina in the Sweet 16. With another season to be played, Osborne looks to climb higher onย UCLAโs all-time scoring list, where she currently ranks No. 9ย with 1,798 points over her career.
Charisma isnโt the only senior at UCLA whoโs spurned the WNBA Draft in favor of a fifth year with the Bruins.ย Camryn Brown, the teamโs other starting guard, has also decided to return to Westwood next year.
Brown, too, announced her decision on social media.ย โYโall thought it was over?โ she wrote alongside a picture of her on the court.
