Former Arizona guard Shane Nowell announced on Instagram he has committed to UNLV.
Nowell announced on April 27 that he was transferring from the Wildcats after playing just 67 total minutes over 19 games as a freshman last season. He also sat out three games late in the season as a result of an apparent suspension for reasons UA coach Tommy Lloyd declined to detail.
A native of the Seattle area, Nowell is the brother of Jaylen Nowell, who won the 2018-19 Pac-12 Player of the Year award while playing for Washington. Shane Nowell was the only one of three players in the class of 2021 who committed to former UA coach Sean Miller and stuck with the Wildcats, while guard K.J. Simpson headed to Colorado and Shane Dezonie went to Vanderbilt. Dezonie has since transferred to St. Joseph’s.
“It definitely took some time because I wasn’t too sure,” Nowell said. “It was pretty much a matter of what’s the best situation for me, as well as my family, because I didn’t want to go too far away from home. Nowell wound up averaging 0.8 points and 0.8 rebounds while playing only spot minutes toward the end of games the Wildcats were decisively winning.
