Lincoln -- The Nebraska basketball program received a major boost for the 2018-19 campaign over the Memorial Day weekend, as James Palmer Jr. and Isaac Copeland Jr. both announced they were withdrawing from the 2018 NBA Draft and returning to the Husker program for their senior campaigns.
Both Palmer and Copeland garnered All-Big Ten honors for the Huskers in 2017-18, and their return gives seventh-year Head Coach Tim Miles one of the most experienced rosters he’s had during his tenure at Nebraska. In all, the Huskers return five players who made at least 13 starts for NU in 2017-18 and 10 returning letterwinners.
