No. 2: Nevada Wolf Pack

No school is more experienced when it comes to the transfer market than Nevada.

All five of Nevada’s starting five are fifth years seniors, with three of the five being transfers. Nevada’s top players, the Martin twins, are transfers from North Carolina State, a power program.

History has shown that Nevada is a prime competitor even against higher-ranking programs in terms of recruiting than theirs. Nevada has won major transfers before, and always seems to be in the mix for the top transfers on the market.

As aforementioned, Nevada’s entire starting five will not be returning next season. Nevada is going to have several holes to fill, including at the point guard position. Enter Jaylen Fisher.

Fisher would perhaps have his best opportunity to contribute in Reno. Fisher would be the Wolf Pack’s top scoring option, prime ball-handler, and would play big minutes, as long as his knee holds up.

Nevada is also a perennial contender. A top-ten team coming off of a Sweet Sixteen appearance, Nevada is in a window to win in the next few years, even with their forthcoming departures.

Fisher also has a little history with the state of Nevada. Fisher was originally committed to UNLV, before de-committing and committing to TCU. Fisher had an interest in playing in Nevada, as well as the Mountain West, the conference of both UNLV and Nevada.

I would say that a return to the Mountain West and Nevada is very likely. Fisher probably won’t consider UNLV, but Nevada is the perfect opportunity and situation for Fisher to shine. He’s familiar with the area, and Nevada has the need. There are few better fits for Jaylen Fisher than the University of Nevada.
