This is a way better addition than what I was expecting for the last spot. This guy will actually contribute next year. Really, really solid.
We have our own Jeremy Fears (minus the dirty plays hopefully)
Washut:
After losing Rienk Mast and Berke Buyuktuncel, Nebraska wanted to add another piece to its frontcourt with one of its two remaining roster spots.
Head coach Fred Hoiberg and his staff landed precisely what they were looking for with a commitment from South Dakota State big man Damon Wilkinson on Thursday.
The 6-foot-10, 245-pound redshirt sophomore emerged as a new priority portal target for the Huskers this week after officially visiting Lincoln on Wednesday. He was scheduled to make a second visit to North Carolina State on Thursday, but that trip never took place.
A native of De Smet, S.D., Wilkinson averaged 13.9 points, a team-high 6.4 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting almost 58.9% from the field and 72.0% at the free-throw line last season. He started 19 of his 32 appearances on the year.
Wilkinson also ended his sophomore campaign by scoring in double figures in his final eight contests and had 10 points or more in all but one conference game. His play earned honorable-mention All-Summit League Honors.
With Wilkinson on board, Nebraska now has just one open spot remaining on its 2026-27 roster.

Big pickup. Much needed big man depth. Now don't have to rush Curtis if he isn't quite ready yet
Kid put up 11 and 4 on #1 Arizona and then proceeded to average 15 and 7 the rest of the season in conference play. He has a very solid offensive game.
Dudes, we have size down low, now we need another guard. Ho-lee fook.
Actually just waiting for Momcilovic to go public with his commitment to the Mayor.
The best part about our transfer portal haul in basketball this year is that we literally got two guys named “Trevan Leonhardt” and “Damon Wilkinson” and they are both…WHITE AS FUCK.
It’s the evolution of the exciting whites before our eyes. Not only do we run out a lineup with five white dudes, but we are now adding white dudes with black names to really mind fuck our opponents.The best part about our transfer portal haul in basketball this year is that we literally got two guys named “Trevan Leonhardt” and “Damon Wilkinson” and they are both…WHITE AS FUCK.
Just wait till we are rolling out Javaris Jamar Javarison-Lamar and (the player formerly known as Mousecop) and its a couple of 6'2 white boys from Des Moines that splash 3s.
Just out of curiosity.....didn't the transfer portal already close? I thought it was only two weeks.
The portal window only matters for submitting your name into it. No timeline on signing with a new school.
I think it means players were required to enter the portal window between April 7th and April 21st. However, those players don't have to make the school selection by April 21st.
