Utah State's latest recruiting

Stew Morrill is getting some play for the Stanford opening because Trent Johnson and new Cal coach Mike Montgomery apparently recommended him. We have to see that before we'll believe it.

For those keeping track at home, USU has lost a backcourter with the transfer of senior-to-be DeUndrae Spraggins. He was a junior college transfer who probably didn't pick the right system suited for his particular talents. It seems the Aggies have two or three transfers every season.

Speaking of transfers, this apparently has yet to be announced but a number of reports indicate that Utah State has signed a junior college shooting guard out of Texas:

Stavon Williams
San Jacinto College
6-4 180
15.4 points and 5.3 rebounds a game this past season at San Jacinto College TX while shooting 44.3% from three-point range, 50% overall.

From an April 10 TexasHoops.com report: "..."He's a two-guard with good size that shot over 40 percent from the three, can handle it, and is solid all-around," [San Jacinto assistant coach Scott] Horstman said. "I think he's as good as Booker Woodfox was except that he's better at getting it and taking it to the hole. I think he can go and do what Booker did (at Creighton) and maybe do even more because of his size...Williams is set to graduate with his associates degree after one summer session..."

Plus, from a Jed Tai written, OregonPreps.com article comes this: "...One unsigned senior that figures to stick with I-5 Elite the entire circuit is Terrell Mack. The 6-foot-4 wing from Fort Vancouver High School is looking at going to Utah State where he'll sit out under NCAA Proposition 48 guidelines, but he will delay signing a letter-of-intent in order to give I-5 Elite a boost and continue honing his own skills as well. An athletic scorer, Mack should provide plenty of points..."
