DDN: Italy trip reinforces Nagy’s belief in backcourt

Scott NAgy watches play

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State coach Scott Nagy is pulling for Tanner Holden to get a favorable ruling from the NCAA on his eligibility, of course. Who couldn’t find room for a two-time first-team All-Horizon League pick?

But as Nagy sees it, the Raiders’ fortunes won’t hinge on whether the star wing can play this season or has to sit out a year.

They return four of five starters and every impactful sub. And they’re overflowing with talent on the perimeter.

First-team all-league guard Trey Calvin is back for a fifth year, and Andrew Welage (47.7% from 3) and Alex Huibregste (39.3) caused opponents fits last season with their defense-stretching abilities.

They performed so well that they blew past Amari Davis on the depth chart. The former all-league pick from Trotwood-Madison has transferred to Tampa.

“We’re loaded, loaded, loaded with good players at the 1, 2 and 3 spots,” Nagy said.
