Former Fort Hays State point guard Craig Nicholson has signed a contract to play professionally in Romania. Nicholson announced the news through social media Sunday. He will join CS Cuza Sport Braila, a professional club in the city of Braila, Romania, late this summer and early fall.
Nicholson was a four-time All-MIAA selection and a one-time All-America selection at Fort Hays State. He was also the MIAA Freshman of the Year and named to the Division II Bulletin All-Freshman Team in 2013.
Desite injuries which shortened his junior and senior seasons, Nicholson finished second in school history with 628 career assists, the most in FHSU’s Division II history. He ranks second with 161 career steals and is the school’s all-time leader in made free throws (481). His .803 career shooting percentage at the free-throw line ranks sixth in school history.
