DDN: Nagy optimistic about next season

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State coach Scott Nagy is facing questions about his returning roster that wouldn’t have come up in past years.

In a world of NIL paydays and no-sit transfers, nobody can be certain anymore that a player with eligibility left is coming back.

The unexpected transfer of three-year starting center A.J. Braun meant Nagy had to be asked about the status of his two other multi-year starters with even more upside: Brandon Noel and Alex Huibregtse.

“They’re back,” Nagy confirmed.

Folks in Raider Land will be relieved to hear that.

Noel, a 6-foot-8 junior-to-be, is a two-time second-team All-Horizon League pick. He averaged a career-high 14.5 points and 8.0 rebounds.
