Bellot going with the Dustdevils

Merritt College guard Denzel Bellot has made the call and he has cast his lot with Coach Bryan Weakley and the Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) Dustdevils.

The 6-foot-2 Bellot averaged 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in aiding the Thunderbird run to the state Final Four this season. He shot 53%, 38% and 66% respectively.

"I first saw him last July in the Jerry Mullen's JC Showcase in St. Louis," Weakley explained. That same month, another viewing took place in the JUCO Shootout event in Los Angeles. Making the third time the charm, Weakley also caught Bellot in action during the Final Four in early March. That was enough to convince him.

"He's poised, has a high IQ and let's the game come to him," Weakley said. "He can handle and shoots the ball well. We're looking at playing him at the one, two and three."

The Dustdevils have been quite successful during Weakley's association which began as an assistant at TAMI before he became the head coach in 2012 -- try two Heartland Conference Conference championships plus a tournament championship in 2013-14.

Weakley concluded, "when Denzel feels challenged, he rises to the occasion."
