Tim Miles announced the addition of a transfer from the ACC on Tuesday.
James Palmer, a guard from Maryland who spent the past two seasons with the Miami Hurricanes, will join the Nebraska basketball program.
"I am excited to add James to our program," Miles said in the announcement. "He has tremendous versatility at both ends of the floor. He is a long, athletic defender and a guy who can make a lot of different plays on the offensive end. I've enjoyed getting to know James in the recruiting process. He and his mother are great people to be around. James connected with our players and staff immediately, which I feel is a good sign for our future. I think a redshirt year will do him well, as I know he will work hard to elevate his game accordingly."
