The point guard spent the last three years with the Utah Utes. Basketball head coach Fred Hoiberg We previously discussed the Huskers’ targeting of Worster early in the process.
“We picked Rollie early on as someone who could come in and elevate our program. The first thing you look at is his experience and ability to make decisions on the court. He started in the Pac-12 the last three years and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 2.5 to 1. Rollie was among the conference leaders in assists two years ago and was on pace to put up better numbers before his injury in January. He also gives us positional size in the backcourt while also being an excellent rebounder and defender.”
