Virginia Cavaliers fans got some very welcome news on Friday afternoon as flashy swingman De’Andre Hunter announced that he will return for his redshirt sophomore season.
After much consideration, I have decided to return to school and not enter my name in the 2018 draft.

Hunter was a critical part of the Hoos’ run to a school-record 31 wins and the second sweep of the ACC regular season and tournament in program history. The reigning sixth man of the year in the conference suffered a broken wrist in the ACC semifinal against Clemson and was ruled out for the season the following week.
