Jersey City, N.J., is one of the top returning players in the Atlantic 10
Conference. He's also the Hawks' leading returning scorer and rebounder with

two-time All-Atlantic 10 and All-Big 5 honoree.
It was also determined
that junior guard Darrin Govens will see limited action in upcoming practices
while recovering from a groin strain. The date for Govens to return to full
speed is undetermined at this time.
