Palmer returns with NCAA in mind

Never mind what the NBA scouts told James Palmer Jr. about his readiness for professional basketball.

Palmer went with his “gut feeling” in deciding to return for his senior season with the Nebraska men’s basketball team.

“It wasn’t by what they said or what they didn’t say,” Palmer said of scouts from several NBA teams who watched him firsthand in workouts this spring. “It’s just that I wanted to come back and have a great season in my last season with Nebraska.”

Palmer, a 6-foot-6 guard, has one goal in mind, and one goal only.
