Head coach Tubby Smith has started his tenure at Memphis on the right note in recruiting. It got even better Monday afternoon when 2017 Windermere Preparatory (FL) wing David Nickelberry committed to the Tigers following an official visit.

At 6-foot-7, Nickelberry is versatile with good athleticism, great vision and passing, and a smooth lefty jump shot that helped him average 16.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 3.1 steals per game as a junior. He chose Memphis over the Georgia, USC, and Vanderbilt.


Smith, the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2015-16 at Texas Tech before leaving for Memphis this offseason, recently landed Spain Park (AL) guard Jamal Johnson for next season as well.
