The WAC basketball world on Saturday

Fresno State is to get a fall visit from Sacramento's Darius Nelson. Adam Gorney of Rivals has that detail and more here (a Rivals sub is required).

Here is an ESPN evaluation of Nelson.

Here is a YouTube highlight video.

Damien Cain is visting Boston College this weekend. Hawaii has previously been mentioned as also in the running but it seems BC is the leader, at least according to a compilation of items on the 'net.

Here is a fairly current evaluation.

Here's a July 2009 ESPN evaluation:

Damien Cain (6-6, 215)
2011, North Hollywood, Calif./ Harvard-Westlake


Although Cain is an undersized 5-man, he has definitely progressed since the regular season. He uses his strong frame, long arms, and savvy to score over taller bigs hit a couple of nice turn around jump shots on 6-9 John Ryan. His feel is tremendous and he is a very astute passer out of the post. In addition, he nailed a spot-up 3-point jump shot and his stroke looked pretty smooth. Overall, he competes each and every time out and is an advanced player for his age.
