Nothing is a sure thing at this time of year, but as of right now, I'm fairly confident that John Hugley will be back on Pitt's roster next season.
Hugley himself hasn't given any indication that he would be anywhere else, but there has been some speculation that he could opt to leave Pitt for the NBA this offseason. You never know if things will change, but it sounds to me like he is planning to be back. That would certainly be a big piece for Jeff Capel and the Panthers next season. When you talk about the core that is/could be returning, Hugley is at the center of it (no pun intended).
