Former Nevada Wolf Pack guard Eric Cooper Jr., has announced that he will transfer from Nevada to Pepperdine University. Cooper made the announcement on his Instagram page on Monday evening.
Cooper's father announced on his Twitter account in April that his son was transferring from the Nevada program after a year where Cooper had an underwhelming season and saw him playing behind Lindsey Drew and DJ Fenner by the end of the season. Despite Cooper scoring production going up from his freshman year to his sophomore year, it was not enough as Cooper would have been the fourth guard on a Wolf Pack team that will have Fenner and Drew returning along with Missouri State transfer Marcus Marshall and incoming freshman Devearl Ramsey as new additions to the team.
