USU basketball adding another point guard

Oh hey! Bet you didn't think this website still existed, did you? Sometimes we all need a nice little 19-day break, and I just might take another one of those soon. With the bulk of Spring football practices taking place not long after I usually go to bed (and certainly long before I wake up), getting reports on those hasn't exactly been doable for this guy.

But with news starting to come about in some places, as well as Saturday's Spring Football game looming large, there's suddenly things to write about.

Leading off the news is the verbal commitment of another player in basketball's 2013 class with point guard Viko Noma'aea.

Noma'aea was a 2011 high school graduate and first-team all-state basketball selection in the State of Nevada. He averaged 17.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and five assists per game during his senior season at Sierra Vista High School.


On video, he appears to be a solid mix of pure point guard ability with plenty of scoring punch as well. Take a look for yourself...



By all accounts, this looks like a solid pickup for USU, especially if he's able to redshirt next season to get his feet back under him after an abbreviated church mission that kept him out of playing basketball the past two seasons.


ROUNDING OUT THE 2013 CLASS
With Noma'aea in the picture, this 2013 class has one player at each position across the board for the Aggies, each one looking like a promising acquisition. Jojo McGlaston and Jalen Moore bring some punch on the wings for this class, while Kyle Davis and Carson Shanks bring the size down low.

Davis will be a sophomore in 2013-14 as he's a transfer from Southern Utah, but everybody else will be joining USU as freshman from the high school ranks. If I were betting on things, I'd put my money on Noma'aea, McGlaston, and Shanks redshirting next season.

All things considered though, this class has turned out to be looking pretty impressive with the amount of talent these guys look to be capable of bringing. If they can all stick around here and develop properly, USU should be contending just fine in the Mountain West for some years to come.
