There is no substitute for being able to shoot the basketball, and one of the best shooters regardless of level in college basketball over the past three years has been Trevor Lakes. Lakes, who starred at division II U Indy, and now he is headed to the Big Ten.
“I have committed to Nebraska,” Lakes informed 247Sports.
Under Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska has been very interested in getting old and staying old, and one way to do that is through the transfer option. Their success with transfers and the system employed by Hoiberg really spoke to Lakes.
At around 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds, Lakes is a forward who can come off of screens and is a high-volume shooter. His ability to knock in shots is something he feels he can accentuate with the Cornhuskers.
"(Hoiberg) showed me all of his play edits from guys who are similar to me," Lakes explained. "He sees me as a stretch four who can pick and pop. He says he will use me as a floor spacer in a variety of ways, and will make sure I am able to be open and get shots off."
Lakes only has one year of eligibility remaining, but he is not a graduate transfer. So depending on the vote regarding immediately eligible transfers in May, he could have the option of playing right away or being a sit one, play one sit out transfer.
