Arizona State G Alonzo Verge Jr. returning for senior year

Arizona State guard Alonzo Verge Jr. is returning to the Sun Devils for his senior season.

"My biggest goal for this upcoming year is to win," Verge said in a video tweeted by the team.

Verge had declared for the NBA draft in April.

A 6-foot-3 guard from Chicago, Verge transferred to Arizona State from Moberly Area Community College in Missouri before the 2019-20 season.

"We are thrilled with Alonzo's decision," Sun Devils coach Bobby Hurley said in a statement Saturday. "He is committed to winning and competing for championships. Zo is well positioned to have an outstanding senior season, which will strengthen his future professional opportunities."

Verge played 28 games and made nine starts for the Sun Devils, averaging 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He had a breakout performance in a blowout loss to Saint Mary's on Dec. 18, scoring 43 points on 18-of-29 shooting.
