After of a Year of Watching, McPherson is Ready to Lead

Lincoln -- For Quaran McPherson, Thursday’s first day of summer workouts signaled a new start for the 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard. Now in his second season at Nebraska, he felt things slowing down after spending a season watching, learning and improving.

The signs of McPherson’s journey are evident in the tattoos on his arms. From one honoring his hometown of Queens, N.Y., to other ones featuring phrases and family members that have been important for McPherson in his path from Christ the King High School to representing the Scarlet and Cream.

Queens

For McPherson, basketball has always been a way of life.
