Nebraska basketball didn’t waste any time filling Dalano Banton’s spot on its roster, picking up a commitment on Thursday morning from Arizona State transfer Alonzo Verge Jr., per a source.
The 6-foot-2 shooting guard finished third on the Sun Devils in scoring last season, averaging 14.0 points, 3.9 points and 3.8 assists per game for the Sun Devils. Verge Jr., came off the bench in his first season with the Sun Devils before moving into the starting lineup last season, starting 21 games for the Sun Devils. The guard shot 33 percent from the 3-point line and 80.9 percent from the free throw line last season. He will have one season of eligibility with the Huskers.
Verge Jr., had his best games last year at the end of the season for the Sun Devils. He scored 26 points in a win over Washington State at the Pac-12 Tournament, then followed that up with a 28-point, eight-rebound effort in a loss to Oregon.
