Thursday's wide world of WAC basketball happenings

We're amazed anything is left after posting 5-6 separate entries yesterday afternoon.

+++++

Gary Wilkinson receives some major props from a new New Zealand Breaker teammate:

"[Daryl] Corletto believes centre Alex Pledger will step up this year and tips Gary Wilkinson might lead the league in scoring"
+++++

Tony Jones reports that USU's Antonio Bumpus isn't 100% -- that could be a problem as Coach Stew Morrill is replacing four starters, plus Brian Green.

+++++

Alex Kline/The Recruit Scoop tweets that Utah State (among others) is showing interest in a 2013 SoCal power forward.

Here's a video on the young man, who appears ambidextrous.

+++++

Dan Hinxman writes about former Nevada stalwart Nick Fazekas, who is adding Hungarian citizenship to his basketball portfolio.

+++++

Jason Groves tackles (sorry for the mixed sport metaphor) the WAC juniors in another very interesting read.

+++++

2013 Arizona prep big Torren Jones has an offer from San Jose State University:
"Jones is a 6'8" forward who has the athletic ability to play in an up-tempo system and run the floor, and when the effort's there he's a tough player to keep in check. The schools that have shown the most interest are Colorado and San Jose State (offers), Arizona State, Auburn, Penn, Oregon State and Washington. But the five schools he'd like to receive offers from are Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA and USC."
