Another player leaving Purdue.

 

I'm not sure this a good sign for Matt Painter.

It's not like any good players are leaving, so maybe he's just cleaning house.

Isn't this really the consequence of starting so many freshman? Other players see the writing on the wall regarding playing time and leave for a place where they have a chance to play.

According his mother, Creighton guard Nevin Johnson has asked for his release from his scholarship at Creighton.

In a text message, his mother wrote to TheBluejaycafe.com:

"Nevin has asked for his release from Creighton. He has to find a school that will utilize his 'given' talents and not a team that tries to make him someone he is not. And then wonder why he is not succedding like the coach desires."

Nevin Johnson Rivals article (from high school):

 

Johnson is a long, aggressive defender with the ability to beat players off the dribble. Thanks a YouTube video (below) that recently surfaced from a high school basketball fundraiser in Houston, we now know that Johnson can get off the ground in a hurry. However, there were some who questioned his desire and Johnson had to go through a lot to show college coaches that he had what it took to play at a high level.

I would welcome Nevin Johnson to Nebraska in a heartbeat!  6'5", 200 lbs, SG. 

 

I know that Nebraska currently needs to add some depth to bang around in the paint, but Johnson could be very dangerous at the 2-Spot for Nebraska.  He is very athletic.  He is a currently Freshman and could sit out next season and then step in to add depth to the 2-spot, once Gallegos graduates. 

 

He also has experience playing in a successful program and has seen playing time in the NCAA tourney.  He is right down the road and would be much easier to get him to visit, than it would be to get alot of other people to visit.  And I would imagine he would have a little something to prove when Nebraska plays Creighton.

 

Go get him Miles!

Most coaches will agree to let you out of your scholarship but you cant go in conference or to future opponents.  So that probably leaves Nebraska out.

Yeah, that makes sense.  I would love to see Miles go after him though, if Nebraska isn't ruled out by the Creighton coaching staff.

Johnson, Navin R.  Sounds like a typical bastard.

[MandRHusker]

We really don't want Johnson. He was a reach by McDermott to begin with. Poor talent ID by the Creighton staff.

That's kinda what I was thinking...

[Nebrasketballer]

I disagree. 

 

At 6'5", 200 lbs, his size and athleticism would be very valuable to Nebraska's current group of guards.  With the combination of size and athleticism, he has tremendous up side that Nebraska could use at the guard position. 

 

And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that he has more playing time/experience in the NCAA tournament than any other player on Nebraska's roster.  As Kamdy pointed out, It's likely that Creighton will include Nebraska on the list of schools that Johnson is not allowed to transfer to, but that doesn't mean that "We don't really want him."

"That coach at Creighton wouldn't let my son be THE man.  Instead, he expected him to be a 'team player' while letting his own kid get all the glory.  That bastard.  Well, WE'LL show HIM.  Won't we, Nevin?  Probably hear from North Carolina any day now.  Or Duke."

Hey, let's get the names right here!  (die gas pumper!)

OK, so Nevin Johnson burned his redshirt.  Now what's he gonna do?  Transfer to a juco and PLAY his sophomore year?  Or sit a year and come in as a junior?

From College Basketball Talk...

 

Hunter Mickelson was a top 100 recruit coming out of high school, but after spending two seasons struggling to find consistent minutes in Mike Anderson’s 40 Minutes of Hell system, the 6-foot-10 sophomore will be transferring out of Arkansas.

 

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette first reported the news.

Mickelson averaged 5.5 points and 3.5 boards this season for the Hogs, but he’s just not the right fit for their system. He is talented, however, and should be a nice addition for any program that can pick him up.

 

Mickelson was part of a five-man recruiting class in 2011 that was supposed to change the direction of the Arkansas program. But Devonta Abron transferred to TCU, Aaron Ross never made it onto campus and now plays at Texas Tech and BJ Young entered this year’s NBA Draft. The only player remaining from that class is Rashad Madden.

He is fortunate to have that option.  If he had not RS his first year at CU, he would already have burned 2 years of eligibility, thus negating any possibility of going to a junior college for a year.  Being able to play his sophmore season at juco could allow him to gain attention and possibly sign with another div. 1 school in 2014/15 with 2 full years of eligibility remaining.
