Alijah Arenas' declaration highlights a trend of fewer early entrants, with only 71 this year, the lowest since 2003.
Top prospects include Kansas' Darryn Peterson, Duke's Cameron Boozer, and BYU's AJ Dybantsa, all of whom could be potential No. 1 picks.
Arenas can either remain in the draft or return to USC for his sophomore season, as he did not enter the NCAA transfer portal.
The deadline to withdraw and maintain college eligibility is May 27 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
