Brady Heslip -- USU Aggie

Remember when Utah State was courting Brady Heslip, the shooting guard out of Canada who was unceremoniously tossed aside when Boston College made a coaching change (BC finished at 9-22 this season).

Heslip's name is all over the 'net today because he buried nine treys for Baylor on Saturday in an 80-63 victory over Colorado.

Here's Andy Katz today:

Former BC associate head coach Pat Duquette, who now has the same title at Northeastern, said he recruited Heslip out of Burlington, Ontario. Duquette said Heslip was “absolutely fearless, but physically more than you see. He had very long arms, which equaled a high release. And he had unusually big hands for a guard his size.’’

Former BC head coach Al Skinner said by phone Saturday night that he liked Heslip’s tough-minded approach.

“The thing about him was that he didn’t hunt shots; he let the game come to him,’’ Skinner said. “He executed well and was patient on the offensive end. He rarely takes a bad shot, and he had tremendous range.’’
Can you imagine the damage Heslip would be doing for Stew Morrill? He has USU offensive style written all over him.

What about Heslip and Preston Medlin paired up in the backcourt?

Coulda, woulda, shoulda is always fun.

Heslip also visited Oregon and Boise State.
