Calling it "one of the toughest decisions I've ever made," Nebraska basketball player and former Lincoln Pius X standout Charlie Easley is leaving the Huskers and transferring to South Dakota State.
"It wouldn't have happened without the opportunity from Coach (Fred) Hoiberg and everything that him and the coaching staff has done for me, and it's just all kind of worked out," Easley told the Journal Star in a phone interview. "Me and my family talked it over, and thought this would be the best decision going forward with my basketball career."
Easley joined the Huskers as a walk-on last season after a record-breaking career at Pius X, where he became the school's all-time leading scorer and led the Thunderbolts to the 2019 Class B state championship.
