Kobe Paras will remain in the United States.

The 19-year-old swingman bared his next move on his Twitter account @_kokoparas on Tuesday as he returns to the West.

“I am happy to say that I have verbally committed to play at Cal State University Northridge. Can’t wait to be back on the court playing!” he wrote.

Paras will try to make some noise with the Matadors after an uneventful freshman year with Creighton, averaging 1.3 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.7 minutes.
