hhcmatt Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Nebraska lands the verbal commit of Quaran McPherson, 6'4" combo guard from Queens, NY. McPherson had recently played a year of post-grad prep at Missouri based prep powerhouse Link Year. Prior to that, McPherson played for prep school Woodstock Academy in Connecticut. Originally starting out at The Patrick school and Christ the King, the well travelled McPherson tore his ACL and meniscus, causing him to lose a year. McPherson had been on Matt Abdelmassih's radar for years, first being offered by St. Johns back in 2016. More recently McPherson popped onto Nebraska's and other Power 5 schools with a showing at the Pangos All-American camp in late 2020. This puts Nebraska with one more scholarship to use for 2021-22 and fills all for 2022-23. View full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was being pursued by us, UConn, and auburn the hardest apparently. Very interesting commitment. Has size and looks like a bit of explosion. Under the radar. I like the guard rotation as it currently stands, so I wonder why they took him. Elijah wood 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kldm64 Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Not a horrible pick-up for the future (maybe) but can't image he won't have much impact on this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykc Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Quaran McPherson (prospectiveinsight.com) Here's a long interview. Sounds like a combo guard with good size who played with Kofi Cockburn at some point. BjoeHusker, thrasher31 and REDitus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhcmatt Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 You'll recognize Cockburn's name here. Back in 2017 these guys were the next thing coming and it would appear that McPherson tore his ACL and meniscus at some point in 2018 and dropped off everyone's radar. thrasher31 and mwm89 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDitus Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 This roster shouldn't have any depth issues at any spots. PG's,Wings & Bigs, we should have it covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBARGIE Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) I assuming he redshirts with Oleg? That would give the coaches their "2 sit-outs" that they like to have every year. Most importantly Quaran is childhood friends with CJ and Simeon Wilcher. He really is Elijah Wood 2.0.
