Ohhhh bummer

Barber's origin story has begun with those missed threes. Definitely excited about next season for coach Mo running it back! (unless he gets a nice payday somewhere else)

Nevada signs impressive recruiting class, reload their backcourt with four guard signings
Elton Hunter -- Reno Gazette Journal Sports Writer

The University of Nevada will look to advance past the Sweet Sixteen next season after back-to-back appearances and will do so with head coach Isaiah Mohammed, who signed a five-year extension with the Wolfpack.

Mohammed was considered the top candidate for several mid major programs, including Buffalo, Delaware, Kent State and Drexel. Mohammed reportedly interviewed for the Buffalo head coaching job and was offered it before turning it down and signing the extension with Nevada, where he has led the program to three Sweet Sixteen appearances in five seasons, making the NCAA tournament the last three seasons.

Nevada is adding some firepower to their roster with their best recruiting class under Mohammed, led by Tacoma's Manourou Chavis who is a top 140 player in the country and projects to slide into the rotation off the bench as rising sophomore Darek Crawford will likely start at point guard next year. Chavis is a talented combo guard with a reliable jump shot who is terrific on the defensive end and has the potential to blossom into a future star for the Wolfpack.

They also landed three in-state prospects in three-stars Elton Horton, Fredrick Sutton and Andriel Henson. Sutton is more of a project at this stage in his development but possess intriguing physical traits that could pay off in the long run. Henson is your prototypical, six-foot lead guard with a great feel for the game and a floor general who, if his shot improves, could be a reliable starter at the next level but is ideally the lead man for a second unit. Horton is a similar prospect to Henson although a bit taller and filled out physically with the ability to attack the rim at a high level for someone his size.

The Wolfpack are adding a big man in Armando Michaud, the three prospect out of Rochester, New York who is a top 20 player at his position. A higher ranked prospect than Ira Holloway coming out of high school, Michaud could clean up in Mohammed's offense which prioritizes feeding the big man with Holloway leading the team in scoring the past two seasons. He'll be hard pressed for playing time as a freshman but once he puts it together, the sky is the limit for Michaud.

As usual, under Mohammed, Nevada also signed an international player in Serge Cisse out of the Ivory Coast. They also signed JUCO small forward Kory Kabba.
