A few Aggie nuggets

One of the Utah State fans attended a recent 'road trip' event (where the Aggie coaches hit surrounding towns to drum up interest in USU sports) and here are a few basketball nuggets:

"(Coach Tim) Duryea told us that he has tried to get Corey to introduce him as an undefeated head coach at the events, but he wouldn't do it." Duryea was a longtime assistant to Stew Morrill and now heads the program.

"He likes having the current players on campus for three reasons. Cause he can pay them to run the camps, cause they get school credit for helping run them, and for the strength program." Holding summer camps seems to disappeared vis-a-vis SJSU hoops.

"Jalen (Moore) was at 180 when he graduated from Sky View High, now he is at 220...(David) Colette was at 185, now he is at 237." At 6-foot-8, Moore is Utah State's top talent. Collette is also 6-foot-8 and is three years into the Aggie program, having redshirted as a freshman. Both are starters. Hopefully Cody Schwartz and Ryan Welage will make similar upgrades on the weight scale.

"Would rather play division 2 schools instead of D1 schools in the 300's, cause playing a D2 or D3 school doesn't hurt your RPI like playing a team in the 300s does." Who do you as fans wish to see among those two choices?
