Syracuse, N.Y. -- Former Bishop Ludden basketball star Mika Adams-Woods has decided to re-open his college recruitment.

Adams-Woods, a 6-foot-3 point guard, committed to Nebraska and former coach Tim Miles last September. Nebraska fired Miles last week and subsequently hired Fred Hoiberg as its new men’s basketball coach. Hoiberg, who had success as the head coach of Iowa State, was fired by the Chicago Bulls last December. His name had been linked to various college coaching vacancies before Nebraska hired him. Nebraska held a news conference Tuesday to announce Hoiberg as its new coach.

Adams-Woods met with Hoiberg before deciding to put himself back on the recruiting market, said Gallagher Driscoll, the Bishop Ludden boys basketball coach who remains close with Adams-Woods.

“Any time there’s a coaching change, the new guy who comes in didn’t recruit him,” Driscoll said. “He just feels like he wants to see if there’s any other options out there. He’s still interested in Nebraska. He liked everything Coach Hoiberg has told him. But if it doesn’t work out, I’m sure there will be other schools that are interested.”

Adams-Woods had been recruited by the likes of Massachusetts, George Mason and UNC Greensboro before committing to the Cornhuskers last fall. Providence had shown interest. He requested a release from his Nebraska NLI before publicly revealing he would be re-opening his recruitment.

Adams-Woods has attended New Hampton School for two years and has played in the prestigious NEPSAC basketball league. He had a terrific year at New Hampton, where he finished the 2018-19 season as a first-team All-NEPSAC Class AAA all-star. Adams-Woods has an innate feel for the point guard spot and has always been a capable scorer. He averaged 19 points, shot 56.8 percent from inside the arc and 42.5 percent from the 3-point line this season. Adams-Woods also averaged 6.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

He has played over the years for the Albany City Rocks on the AAU circuit; last year, he teamed with Isaiah Stewart, Joe Girard, Symir Torrence, Andre Jackson and others on the Albany-based Nike EYBL team.
