Arizona Wildcats land Nebraska transfer forward
12 May
Summary
- Ugnius Jarusevicius joins Arizona Wildcats basketball team.
- He previously played for Nebraska and Central Michigan.
- Arizona's roster sees changes with new transfers and NBA draft departures.
Arizona men's basketball has added Ugnius Jarusevicius, a forward transferring from Nebraska, to its roster.
Jarusevicius appeared in only one game for the Huskers last season due to a back injury, recording seven points and three field goals. Prior to his time with Nebraska, he played for Central Michigan and Cal State Bakersfield. As a junior with Central Michigan, the 6-foot-10 forward led the MAC in field goal percentage.
This addition comes as the Wildcats navigate significant roster changes. Arizona also welcomes guards JJ Mandaquit and Derek Dixon as new transfers. The team will rely on returning players like Motiejus Krivas and Ivan Kharchenkov. However, forwards Sidi Gueye and Dwayne Aristode have entered the transfer portal, and Brayden Burries and Koa Peat are projected first-round NBA Draft picks.
