The two players announced their plans Tuesday, with McAdoo announcing plans to return for his junior season hours after Bullock announced he would skip his senior season.

In a statement from the school Tuesday night, McAdoo, a 6-foot-9 forward, said he conferred with his parents and coach Roy Williams before deciding to pass on the NBA draft for the second straight year.

"I love this school and my teammates and I love being a North Carolina basketball player," McAdoo said. "There will certainly be a time when I want to play in the NBA, but right now I truly enjoy college life and I want to continue doing that for another season."

"James Michael's decision says a lot about the University of North Carolina and his teammates. He truly enjoys the entire collegiate experience. It's the reason he came to this decision."

"We did some great things that have prepared me to play in the NBA," Bullock said. "I know the Tar Heels will have a great year next season."
