The 2025-26 season signals a new chapter for Nebraska basketball — and Head Coach Fred Hoiberg has flipped the script in dramatic fashion. With 10 new transfers and a 4-star recruit, the Huskers might have the deepest overhaul in the Big Ten.

🔁 Transfer Talent Floods In

Nebraska didn’t just dip into the portal — they dove headfirst. The Huskers added players from nearly every region and level of D1 basketball, many of them primary scorers at their former schools.

Top additions include:

• Lamar Wilkerson (20.5 PPG – Sam Houston): One of the top scorers available nationally.

• Reed Bailey (18.8 PPG – Davidson): Smooth-shooting forward who can stretch the floor.

• Tucker DeVries (14.9 PPG – West Virginia): Veteran wing with Big 12 pedigree.

• Nick Dorn (15.2 PPG – Elon): Physical, high-motor scorer.

• Jasai Miles (15.4 PPG – North Florida): Quick, slashing guard who can score at all levels.

• Tayton Conerway (14.2 PPG – Troy): Explosive combo guard.

• Josh Harris (13.4 PPG – North Florida): Active forward with inside-out ability.

• Jason Drake (11.1 PPG – Drexel): Underrated guard with playmaking instincts.

• Conor Enright (7.5 PPG – DePaul): Steady lead guard and locker room leader.

• Sam Alexis (4.7 PPG – Florida): SEC experience adds depth to the frontcourt.

Together, these additions account for over 135 points per game, bringing instant experience, scoring power, and positional versatility.

🌟 Recruiting Class: 4-Star Forward Joins the Fold

Amid the flurry of portal activity, the Huskers secured Trent Sisley, a 4-star forward with inside-out game, toughness, and the ability to impact early. He's a foundational piece with long-term upside.

🧠 Can Nebraska Make the Leap?

The Big Ten is undergoing change with new members and shifting power dynamics. Nebraska is hoping this roster reset — anchored by proven scorers and immediate contributors — can lead to postseason relevance.

If Hoiberg can establish chemistry and carve out roles, the 2025-26 Huskers could emerge as one of the league’s surprise contenders.
