Huge transfer target to visit Nebraska basketball, plus more portal rumblings

Kyle is 6-foot-9. So is Josiah Allick. He won’t be back next season and you could easily see Kyle slide into that role as a starting four. There will be heavy competition for Kyle but according to Mike Sautter, Nebraska basketball will host him for an unofficial visit on Monday. Texas A&M and Wake Forest will also do in-home visits on Friday.

The Huskers have had success with in-state transfers in each of the past two seasons and Kyle could be the next to come back home to Nebraska and be a star.

More transfer portal rumblings

After C.J. Wilcher departed for the transfer portal, it left Nebraska basketball with five scholarship openings. Fred Hoiberg will be active in the portal, as he always is, but one target is off the board and that’s Koren Johnson of Washington, who eliminated the Huskers after releasing a top five that didn’t include them.

Yet, there are two new targets to monitor. Cade Tyson, one of the best shooters in college basketball, from Belmont, entered the transfer portal and Nebraska reached out. He shot 45 percent from deep last season and made 2.6 3-pointers per game.

Tyson would be a perfect fit with Fred Hoiberg, but a ton of programs have reached out including Kansas, Villanova, and Auburn, among many others.

Nebraska basketball has also reached out to transfer J’Vonne Hadley out of Colorado. He’s a 6-foot-6 guard who has played three seasons. He averaged 11 points per game last season and shot 41 percent from 3-point range although he wasn’t a high-volume shooter.

Hadley started 34 games last season and averaged 1.4 steals per game for the Buffs, who made the NCAA tournament. He’s also got tons of suitors too.
