Jason Conrad came out of Gilroy High a couple of years back as a long -- 6-foot-10 or so -- and lean center prospect. He signed with Portland State and the future looked quite rosy. His senior years was marred by a serious injury but all still looked like a go up in The Shining City.
We believe Conrad spent his freshman year in Portland but didn't play. He eventually left Oregon and returned home.
Now, Conrad is headed to Chico State in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. Congrats to him as the Wildcats are collecting a big batch of local and regional players and look to on the way to becoming a major player in the D-2 ranks.
