Sources with knowledge of the situation expect the Huskers to get a visit in early June from 7-foot-2, 226-pound center Paschal Chukwu, who is transferring from Providence after one season.
Chukwu was a consensus Top 75 player coming out of Fairfield (Connecticut) Prep. As a freshman at Providence, he averaged 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10 minutes a game. Friars coach Ed Cooley told the Providence Journal Chukwu’s transfer decision “was a total shocker. It blew me completely out of the water.’’
Nebraska has tall competition for the tall Nigerian native.
Chukwu is expected to visit Kansas first, with Virginia and other high-major visits possible. He would have to sit one season, then have three years of eligibility.
