CARTERSVILLE, Ga— St. John’s loss is Nebraska’s gain.
Former St. John’s signee Cam Mack has followed former St. John’s assistant Matt Abdelmassih to Nebraska.
The 6-foot-3 junior college star pledged to Fred Hoiberg and Nebraska on Saturday after decommitting from St. John’s in the wake of the coaching change.

Mack averaged 19.1 points, 7.6 assists and 5.9 rebounds while shooting 46 percent from the field and 34 percent from deep.
“I think he’s probably one of the top two point guards in junior college right now,” Salt Lake coach Todd Phillips said when he committed to St. John’s. “He’s a really good point guard. He’s athletic, quick, explosive. He can really get to the basket, sees the floor. He’s shooting it 50 percent from three right now and 6-for-7 the other night from three.
“He’s just an overall point guard. He can really pass the ball. He can get guys in transition. I think they’re getting a really good player. The game’s easy for him. He’s a high-end guy.”
St. John’s is now in the market for a point guard after losing out on Mack and Shamorie Ponds, who was given an NBA Combine invite on Friday.
