Nebraska basketball coach Fred Hoiberg picked up his first big win on the recruiting trail on Sunday as junior college signee Jervay Green announced that he would stick with the Huskers following an official visit over the weekend.

Green signed with Tim Miles’ staff, and met with Hoiberg once after the new head coach was hired, but wanted to see this weekend if he felt the same excitement about Nebraska under Hoiberg.

That was evidently the case.

Green gives Nebraska immediate backcourt help and a key scoring threat from the perimeter in Hoiberg’s first year. The Western Nebraska Community College guard earned second-team junior college all-america honors last week and averaged 23.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore, and made 39 percent of his 3-pointers.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Green is one of three players who signed in the fall with former Nebraska head coach Tim Miles. Guard Mika-Adams Woods asked for his scholarship release, and guard Akol Arop reaffirmed his commitment to the Big Red last week.

This weekend was the first visit weekend for Hoiberg and his staff. Other visitors included Oklahoma State transfer Maurice Calloo, as well as UNLV transfers Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua and Joel Ntambwe. Each of those three transfer visitors would have to sit this coming season.
