I think it is pretty certain that Nunge will return.

That's big news.I would have hated to lose him too. I think he looked better these last few games when Scruggs was out.

This is HUGE. His energy on the court is infectious. And if he starts playing more aggressively on the offense, as he did in that NIT championship game, he will be an All Big East super star.

Yay.........................! Thank you Colby. Sky is the limit for this young man, with his talent and work ethic. Can't wait to see his maturation process unfold.

With the Covid free year, he could possibly be with us for three more years. With the noticeable change in body structure from last year to this, I would expect even additional strength over the next few—similar to Sato and Burrel. I like that he handles the ball well enough to be the second pg on the floor that Miller likes.

Best thing that happened all day. Colby is our best all round player. Jones can do everything .Couldn't be happier. Xavier just got a lot better. Way to go Sean or whoever helped keep him. Besides having Miller coming back this is the most important off season move. Go X.

He is, but he is not a dynamic player like Crawford, Posey, or Semaj. However, he does a lot of things well, and is a great system player. Few in bball employ a better one than Miller. Keeping him, and two of the three recruits in the fold, along with the grossly underutilized, scoring machine in Tandy speaks volumes about the buy in he is currently getting. I expect more transfers, but the most impt. current incumbent along with Nunge is retained. Great job Coach Miller and staff.
