Some press for Julian Welch

Former Yuba College and Franklin High star backcourter Julian Welch is in the running for playing time at the point up in Minnesota:

"On Media Day, [Coach Tubby] Smith touted junior college transfer Julian Welch’s toughness and basketball understanding. “He’s got a lot of games under his belt, having played at UC-Davis and then having played at junior college. …He’s a scoring guard that can be a point guard for us,” he said. But while Welch was Big West freshman of the year at UC-Davis and averaged 19 points and five assists last year at Yuba Community College (Calif.), whether and how that will translate to Big Ten production is yet to be determined"
