Following Denzel Douglas

5-foot-11 point Denzel Douglas of Casper College signed with Idaho in November so he'll be heading to Moscow come late summer.

So what has he accomplished so far this season for the Thunderbirds?

In eight games to date (21 minutes a contest), 8.3 points per game, 54% overall shooting, 2-7 from long distance, 10-14 from the foul line, 5.3 rebounds each time out, a 45/11 assist-to-turnover ration plus 20 steals.

Heck, his board work is tied for first on the team!

Landon Tatum is a senior for the Vandals, as is second-leading passer Deremy Geiger, so there will be opportunity for playing time to be earned and Douglas looks to be the primo candidate at the point.

Friday's WAC hoops roundup

Brad Winton/Juco Recruiting (do bookmark him) has an addition for the Vandals:

"Denzel Douglas, a PG out of Casper College (WY), has committed to Idaho"

He's a 5-foot-10 point out of Los Angeles who averaged 7.7 points per game as a freshman, shooting 44% overall, 29% from long distance and 65% from the foul line. He led the Thunderbirds with four assists and 2.4 steals a contest.

Will this be in addition to Tim Johnson out of LA Trade Tech, as reported earlier? Johnson is 6-foot-0 but with more offensive firepower than Douglas.

Both are rockets in the backcourt.
