Bryce Dejean-Jones not returning to UNLV next season

I don't know that Nebraska is looking for a 6'5" wing right now, but I saw this so I thought I would share. Could maybe be a good option to come off of the bench for Petteway when he has to go out. Would be nice to have that scoring potential coming off of the bench. A combination of him and Fuller could help Nebraska continue to score, while starters are on the bench.

Or maybe Nebraska would want to go with a scoring explosion lineup of:

1) Webster

2) Petteway

3) Shields

4) Dejean-Jones

5) Pitchford

Possible red flag is the comments about his potential attitude issues. But that could potentially be fixed by this coaching staff. After all, Petteway went as far as to punch a player during a game, but he seems to be fitting in well with this locker room.

From the article:

Despite a 20-win season, it was something of a disappointing campaign for UNLV, which did not reach the postseason. But the Runnin' Rebels have a terrific recruiting class coming in, creating some optimism in Vegas for next season.

But they will be without leading scorer Bryce Dejean-Jones, who is leaving the team. The news has been rumored for more than a month now, but head coach Dave Rice made it official late Sunday night.

“I met with Bryce and his family earlier today. It was decided that he will not be on our team next year,” Rice said, according to the Las Vegas Sun. “He is on schedule to graduate this summer so he will remain on scholarship and we will support him academically. During this process he will explore his professional opportunities.

Sources indicated Dejean-Jones is exploring taking advantage of the graduate transfer rule, transferring elsewhere and playing immediately if graduates from UNLV this spring. He could also go overseas and play professionally.

The 6-foot-5 swingman averaged 13.6 points this past season, but also had a couple of behavior issues. Dejean-Jones was suspended for the regular season finale against Wyoming for a violation of team rules, and was also reportedly yelling at teammates in the locker room after the Mountain West tournament loss on Friday."

And I'm not suggesting him instead of a more traditional post player like Anthony Lee. I think Nebraska would ideally bring in 2 grad transfers in this class, so those 2 scholarships would open back up for the 2015 class, so that Nebraska can fully capitalize on the potential success of next season.

I don't think he goes somewhere that he would be a back up.

Nebr. does not  want this guy!!!  Very bad TEAM player.

I doubt this is the kid that our team needs or wants...not for a one and doner.

Id take a 14 ppg type kid off the bench or in a 3/4th option role!! attitudes can change bases on situation/surroundings. Not saying its a slam dunk but I wouldn't be afraid to turn over every grad transfer leaf and at least see what his thoughts/wants are….
