If third time really is the charm, Nebraska should feel really good about Haanif Cheatham’s upcoming season.
Cheatham originally started his collegiate career with Marquette, choosing the Golden Eagles as a four star out of high school. He stayed there for three seasons, where he started 63 of the 70 games that he played in. He averaged just over 10 points, three rebounds and two assists while there.
Perhaps just as important, was his defense his first two seasons, which were not cut short as his third season was. While the one steal per game is not eye-popping, he was named Marquette’s defensive MVP as a freshman and sophomore.
