Boise State get a 2010 frontcourter

Leon Rice extended and Ryan Watkins accepted so Boise State basketball has another player on the roster for the upcoming season. Nick Jezierny has the details here.

He played as a junior at Taft High in Woodland Hills before moving over to Reseda High. Watkins was named the most valuable player of the Valley Mission League in May 2009, ahead of  now UCLA Bruin Tyler Honeycutt.

Here's Alex Schwartz of NorthStarBasketball on Watkins -- posted 6/1/2010 (scroll way down): "Playing in the U17 division with Pump 'N' Run was unsigned senior Ryan Watkins '10 of Reseda  (CA). A big body at 6'8, 225-pounds, the center does need to get himself into a bit better shape, but once he does, he could be a nice player at the low-major level. He works hard in the paint, rebounds, and can score the ball."

Here's Gerry Freitas of HoopReview.net on Watkins, dated April 10-11, 2010 (again, scroll way down): "Good hands, strong post moves. At times dominant in the half court set. Struggles a little in transition."

PTW was unable to determine where Watkins was or what he did the past year.
