Nevada lands explosive scorer Nisre Zouzoua via transfer from Bryant
The high-powered Nevada attack added an explosive weapon on Tuesday as prolific scorer Nisre Zouzoua announced he's transferring from Bryant to join the Wolfpack.
"I have decided to join Coach (Eric) Musselman and his staff at the University of Nevada-Reno for the next three years," Zouzoua wrote on Twitter. "I believe Coach Muss and his staff will put me in the best position to become the greatest basketball player possible."
The 6-foot-2 guard was certainly one of most desired transfers in this year's market, coming off a season in which he averaged 20.3 points per contest.
"We are so excited to add a player like Nisre to our program," Musselman said in a statement. "He is a dynamic player that can really score the ball from all three levels."
Zouzoua will join a Nevada team that ranked 36th in taveraged 80 points per game in 2016-17, finishing 36th in the country in that statistic. He'll be forced to sit out next season as per NCAA transfer regulations before becoming eligible in 2018-19.
