From his chat yesterday:
Joey (SLC, UT)
As of right now,
do you think Jakob Poeltl of the Utah Runnin' Utes will declare for the
draft this year? He still looks good, but of course he's very, very raw
in a lot of ways. He could certainly use another year of college to hone
his skills and to improve his draft stock...and Ute fans would
CERTAINLY welcome him back for another year or three!Chad Ford

From
all the info I can gather, it looks like he's strongly leaning toward
returning for his sophomore year. However, things can change when the
season ends and agents get in his ear. Obviously another year could
help. He needs to add a lot of strength to play his game in the NBA. He
isn't ready. But that won't stop teams from drafting him in the late
lottery to mid first round if he declares. He's got tremendous upside.
