More on Stuart Wesonga

Coming off a senior season that had even fans opposing San Marin High cheering, 6-foot-7 Stuart Wesonga has enrolled at City College of San Francisco.

The plan is for him to play for Coach Justin Labagh in 2011-12 and then determine a new D-1 college basketball home. Wesonga spent part of this summer at Cal State Northridge after signing a letter-of-intent with the Matadors.

Coming off carrying his team to a North Coast Section basketball title, including a 51-46 on the road win over Bishop O'Dowd in which he tallied 26 points, 25 rebounds and blocked eight shots, Wesonga and San Marin fell 52-49 to the state runnerup Dragons in a playoffs rematch  

According to San Marin Coach Craig Pitti, Wesonga "felt the need to be closer to home in order to help out with family matters. Plus, Stuart determined it wasn't going to be a good fit [at Northridge]. A year from now, he'll go through the [recruiting] process again."

Northridge is in the midst of an NCAA post-season ban for this coming season and has also lost a pair of basketball scholarships due to earlier academic shortcomings.

So the reigning Marin County Athletic league Player of the Year is now aligned with the reigning state junior college champion.
