Reports link possible Lamar transfer to NCCU basketball

DURHAM, North Carolina -- Officials in N.C. Central’s athletics department are neither confirming nor denying media reports that Lamar University guard Nimrod Hilliard is transferring to NCCU.

James Dixon, assistant athletics director for media relations at Lamar, said Hilliard, the Cardinals’ leading scorer last season, is still on Lamar’s roster.

A Twitter account for Nimrod Hilliard IV has the guard bidding farewell to Lamar and hyping up future success as an Eagle with NCCU forward Jordan Parks. NCCU assistant basketball coach Brian Burg follows the Twitter account for Nimrod Hilliard IV.

If Hilliard, in fact, has decided to become an Eagle, he’d bring a scoring average of 14.1 points per game to an NCCU team that has lost some serious offensive production.
