A Fresno State recruiting target?


We've followed Will Donahue for some time now and were flummoxed by his decision to play football after graduating from Mesquite High. We imagine the thinking was that he had a chance to play professionally if things worked out on the gridiron. But it didn't and now Donahue is back with basketball.

Donahue is a 6-8, 275 basketballer at Phoenix College, a member of the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC). He's currently scoring 15.2 ppg., grabbing 10 boards a contest and is shooting 60% from the floor (95-116).

Fresno State among others are interested. Arizona Preps describes him as a bull -- he's very strong, thick and works hard for position. He's not much of a jumper but any team desiring a competitive physical presence who will lay his body against opponents should be following Donahue. He isn't the type of athlete Steve Cleveland typically pursues but the Bulldogs need a banger or two.

Here is an article on Donahue we did some time back.

I love the look of this young man. He'd look good in Nevada blue! We've wanted a banger for a long time, but Fox recruits length more than muscle.
