Florida transfer Andrew Nembhard finalizes school list
Arguably the top transfer to enter the portal this offseason, Andrew Nembhard has taken a giant step towards his eventual college decision. After completing two standout seasons at Florida, Nembhard has cut his school list to a final six.
A gifted 6-foot-5 playmaker that was responsible for running the Gators’ offense the past two years, Nembhard decided to change programs last month which saw a number of the nation’s best pursue. However, after speaking things over with his family and hearing the various pitches that each school had to give, Nembhard has trimmed to his list to a group that consists of Duke, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Memphis, Stanford and USC.
Nembhard is slated to announce his college decision on Monday, his father told Rivals.com. Slated to sit out next season, he could potentially push for a waiver to play immediately, though that will depends heavily on which school he chooses.
An integral member of the Canadian grassroots programs that played with his native’s under-19 squad last summer, Nembhard is one of the best guards that has entered the transfer portal since its creation. A capable scorer that eclipsed 20-points in a game three times as a sophomore, Nembhard is primarily known for his passing skills.
One of the best facilitators in the sport, the rising junior brings quality vision and passing skills to the lead guard spot. He is coming off a season in which he averaged 11.2 points, 5.6 assists and three rebounds per game.
