Nevada added another transfer on Monday evening, continuing a trend during Eric Musselman’s tenure as head coach.
Corey Henson, who spent his first three seasons at Wagner, announced via Twitter that he had decided to use his final season of eligibility in Reno.
Henson tweeted: “After much deliberation over the course of the summer, I decided last week that I no longer wish to continue my education and basketball career at Wagner College. While my time at Wagner was great, I feel like I needed a change to take the next step as a player and as a student. This past weekend, I reached out to Coach Musselman and Nevada as the program had shown a lot of interest in me earlier this summer when I opened up my recruitment. Upon seeing that they were still interested in bringing me on board, I knew it was a decision that I could not make on my own. After discussing everything with my parents and seeing the type of program Coach Musselman is putting together, I decided that Nevada was building something special that I wanted to be part of. I can’t wait to be a member of the Wolf Pack family!”

The 6-foot-3 guard had initially decided in April to transfer but reversed that, announcing he’d return to Wagner in mid-July. He will have to sit out next season in accordance with NCAA transfer regulations. He will have one season of eligibility remaining beginning in the fall of 2018.
Henson has averaged double figures over the past two years, posting 14.6 points per game for the Seahawks during the 2016-17 season.
Currently, Nevada has 10 transfers on its 2017-18 roster. He joins transfers Nisré Zouzoua (Bryant), Tre’Shawn Thurman (Omaha), Darien Williams (St. John’s), Marquez Letcher-Ellis (Rice), Jazz Johnson (Portland), and Kendall Stephens (Purdue) as new additions to the Wolf Pack this season.
Nevada is spending this month on a foreign tour of Costa Rica.
