Huskers land 6'6" G/F transfer from Pitt/Nevada

 

 

 

Nebraska gets the verbal commit from the 230+ lb Stevenson who has made two moves already in his college career due to coaching changes.

 


“We are excited to add Shamiel to our program. He brings a lot of versatility and physicality to our roster. With his size, strength and wingspan, Shamiel fits in perfectly in our system with his ability to play several positions. He also possesses the toughness and maturity needed to play in the Big Ten.” - Coach Hoiberg

The former 3 star and prep school teammate of DeAndre Ayton chose Pittsburgh and coach Kevin Stallings out of high school.  Stevenson was a major contributor his freshman year, starting 13 games and averaging 8.7 ppg while shooting 37.5% from 3 and getting to the line at an impressive rate. (His FTR metric was comparable to James Palmer)

 

Stevenson stuck on with new coach Jeff Capel but was relegated to the end of the bench, seeing action in only 4 games. Shamiel decided to transfer mid-season and chose Nevada.  With former Wolfpack head coach Eric Mussleman leaving for Arkansas Stevenson decided to move on as well.  Currently he's eligible after the fall semester but will most likely pursue a waiver to become immediately eligible. After this season he should have two years remaining. With his size Stephenson looks to slot in defensively as a PF or Center in Fred Hoiberg's 'positionless' basketball team.

His pictures at Hendricks don't make it look like he's fat.  That was kind of the worry.  That he was fat and out of shape and that's why Capel had a problem with him.  That's not what his pictures look like.

 

This is a guy who can put it on the floor, who can post up, and who can shoot the 3 about as good as any Husker last year was able to shoot the 3.  

 

I'm really curious to know how much remaining eligibility he has.  But this might be the best pickup so far.

2 1/2 years and maybe three with a waiver. The NCAA has been pretty lenient lately.

He already has 2 1/2 years of eligibility left and will have 3 years if granted a waiver.

What makes him eligible to get his sophomore year back? He choose to transfer after already playing in games his sophomore year bc of playing time, not injuries. So isnt his sophomore year of eligibility already exhausted?

I hate to say this -- I really do hate to say this -- but ...

 

Now that we have Stevenson, and with the other players Hoiberg has brought in, the absolute perfect finishing piece to this roster would be (drumroll) ...

 

Isaiah Roby.

In the interview he did with Basnett he said he's watching from the outside seeing what Hoiberg is doing with the roster. 

 

It's on his mind. I still don't like the chance of him coming back. But it's definitely on his mind
