New Nebraska coach Tim Miles has announced
that center Jorge Brian Diaz will not return for his senior season
with the Cornhuskers.

     Diaz missed the last 14 games of the season because of chronic
soreness in his feet. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16
games.

     The 6-foot-11, 244-pound Diaz started 65 of his 81 career games
at Nebraska and averaged 9.4 points and 4.2 rebounds.

     Miles said Tuesday that Diaz planned to return to his native
Puerto Rico.
