Northwestern forward Charlie Hall will be returning for his junior season, he announced on his Twitter page Wednesday night.
Whew. After a strong sophomore campaign, there had been much discussion over Hall’s future. To the relief of Northwestern fans everywhere, Hall will be back on the team for at least one more season.
In his second year in Evanston, Hall took a major step forward, averaging 20 rebounds per 40 minutes and leading the Wildcats to their first ever NCAA Tournament berth.
Some analysts speculated that Hall would bolt early and test the waters of the NBA Draft.
