Tyler Tanner has been making waves at the NBA combine, but the big question on every Vanderbilt basketball fan's mind remains: Will he return to the Commodores next season?

The talented guard, who declared for the NBA draft, isn't giving much away just yet. When asked about his future plans, Tanner kept his cards close to the vest.

"Right now, I'm just pushing for the NBA," Tanner told ESPN's Jeff Borzello. "Me, my agent, my family, we'll have a conversation closer to the deadline… but right now, we're really not worried about college. Vanderbilt's a great spot, but my dream is to play in the NBA."

It's a pivotal moment for both Tanner and the Commodores program. After a strong season that saw Vanderbilt make noise in the SEC tournament and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, losing a player of Tanner's caliber would be a significant blow. His explosive play and leadership in the backcourt were key to the team's success, and his potential return could set the stage for an even deeper run next year.

For now, Tanner is focused on showcasing his skills against the best prospects in the country. With the NBA draft deadline looming, the next few weeks will be crucial. Whether he stays in the draft or returns to Nashville, one thing is clear: Tyler Tanner is a name to watch.
