Collier may land Florida's Mr. Basketball
BY CURT McKEEVER / Lincoln Journal Star
Keith Brumbaugh, Florida's Mr. Basketball, once had his eyes on the 2005 NBA Draft. Now, they're on Nebraska.
On Thursday, Brumbaugh's high school coach at DeLand, Fla., John Zeoli, said the 6-foot-8, left-handed forward has the Huskers on his short list of colleges.
That's an interesting situation, considering Nebraska has no scholarships left to offer for next season.
Brumbaugh, who applied for the NBA Draft and then withdrew before Tuesday's deadline, averaged 30.3 points, 12 rebounds and 4.9 assists for DeLand High this past season.

"He's showing a lot of interest in Nebraska right now," Zeoli said. "A guy asked me ‘Why? Nebraska really hasn't been a frontrunner in the Big 12.' I think Keith knew he could get a lot of exposure and probably turn that program around.
