LINCOLN — It appears that Deverell Biggs' Nebraska basketball career is over after just 15 games in two years.
The junior guard out of Omaha Central was dismissed from the team Monday evening for repeated disciplinary woes, two sources with knowledge of the action told The World-Herald.

Looks like Trey Dickerson just became an even hotter commodity for Miles and staff.

So now do we sign four guys this class?

Disappointing, for sure... But a coach only gets one opportunity to build a foundation for the program. You've got to build it right the first time.

Dev had LOTS of chances.  He's solely responsible for the situation he finds himself in.  I hope this is the jolt that helps him figure things out and be successful in the future.

Wish Dev luck and an epiphany about how best to navigate in the world. That's a young brother who needs better friends. Someone to whisper in his ear from time to time that he might want to consider that he's the problem.

 

While many of us never realize our potential--and this is common--it still sucks to see someone that physically gifted toss it all away.

[HuskerFever]

Best wishes to Biggs. That said, maybe this helps get the rest of the team refocused as well.

Total support for coach miles. I only wish Dev the best and that he gets everything right in his life. Absolute ware of talent but hope he can rebound. Best of luck dev.

He has a lot of things going on that scream alcoholism/addict/addictive thinking in general

 

Unless you have direct knowledge of his situation, you're making a quite a large assumption.

[nuled2dance]

Agreed very risky to put that on a message board and if you do you just be 100%.

[FredsSlacks]

Guess we better get ready for a lot of parker and peltz...

 

what are the odds he ends up at creighton next year with agau?

Removed to appease PC crowd

[Huskerpapa]

To bad, so sad.  He had the opportunity to be the first of the new Nebraska pipeline.  He had loads of talent and he could have been a good one.  I am hoping that this ends up being a positive...but it certainly is tough to see the silver lining at this time.

I doubt McDermott would take a guy like that. One thing the jays have that make them a strong team is chemistry. They get along and play well together. Since the P Allen days they have been much more cautious on who they bring it it seems like. I despise them but don't see Biggs getting a look

[Norm Peterson]

The people who think we're delusional think Biggs would have been fine if he'd gone there instead.  It's not his character; it's our program.

[Norm Peterson]

Well the good news is that we get rid of a poisonous attitude in the locker.

 

Of course, on the other hand, we also get an extra scholarship to use for the 2014 class.

Ugh.

[Huskerpapa]

I do not want to pile on Deverell, as I am sure his world is in a whirl right now.  But many of us saw this issue early on...I appreciate  the fact that Coach Miles continued (through last nights post-game interview) to say that Deverell was a good kid.  Hopefully there remains a mutual respect.

Damn trey out ...hope not serious and quick recovery

[uneblinstu]

Wonder if UNO would be a good option for him or if it'd be better for him to not be in his own back yard.

[Norm Peterson]

Damn trey out ...hope not serious and quick recovery

He missed a film session ...

[Norm Peterson]

If you have to put in the wink thingy, it sort of ruins the spontaneity of the joke.

I am trying to think through the transfer rules given the fact that he already redshirted.  He may have to go outside Division I
