Charlie Easley, a freshman walk-on from Lincoln, and graduate of Lincoln Pius X High School, has quickly become a fan favorite on the Nebraska men's basketball team. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Easley has earned significant playing time only months after leading Pius X to the Class B state championship. His father, Ed, also played at Pius X, and then Nebraska Wesleyan, and played in one of the most memorable high school state tournament games in Nebraska history, albeit a heartbreaking loss to Wahoo. In Sunday's victory over Purdue, Easley played a career-high 10 minutes and impressed coach Fred Hoiberg with "big-time toughness" plays.
