Nebraska basketball officials Thursday provided some clarity on the team's waiver request for Shamiel Stevenson.
To put things as simply as possible, here is the scenario: If Stevenson's waiver is approved, he will have whatever is left of this season and then next season to play.
However, if the waiver is denied, Stevenson will redshirt this season and then have two full seasons of eligibility starting next year.
Stevenson, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound guard-forward who averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds two seasons ago a freshman at Pitt, is a junior this year. He has 2 years of eligibility remaining, no matter the result of the waiver.
