A trio of Nor Cal players at Adams State

Adams State in Alamosa, Colorado beat Utah last night which ordinarily wouldn't be posted here but a bevy of NorCal talents are on the Adams State roster:

    "... an incoming player with strong shooting ability is junior Marcus Thompson (American River JC) ...

    He is another player we were fortunate to pick up who played at the junior college level for a good coach at a good program,” and Coach Louis Wilson added that he believes “Marcus can play both the three and four positions for us ...”

and

    "... Junior James Lake (Fairfield, Calif.) who last played at Delta College (Calif.), was the Mustangs leading scoring and a deep threat last winter, averaging 17 points per game whie draining 47 3-pointers.

    James is a skilled athlete who can shoot the ball with range and is explosive,” Wilson noted. “He’s built like a running back, and I think his physicality can be hard to match up with. His impact will be dictated by his ability to adjust to how hard we want to play, and once he consistently does that, the sky’s the limit.”

and

    "Junior Shaheed Young (San Francisco, Calif.) joins the Grizzlies as a point guard following a stint at San Jose City College, and before that, as a standout for San Leandro High School.

    Shaheed comes to us from one of the best programs in junior college basketball, where he played for a legendary coach who is a stickler for details, execution and character,” Wilson said. “He has been coached the right way and he is a winner. He helps us improve at the most important position on the court with his speed and quickness, and he will be a great fit for our system.”
