Wes Brooks brings in two international recruits, new assistant coach | Sports

Utah State women’s basketball made three additions across yesterday and today, two players and one coach. The players are both international signees, Saskia Krüger who played in Germany last year, and Andjela Marojevic who most recently competed in Serbia. The coach is Quim Gomez, a native of Spain who joins the USU coaching staff after two seasons at Western Michigan. Krüger played last season at the second level of pro basketball in Germany, the German 2 Bundesliga. She appeared in 18 games for ASC Theresianum Mainz and averaged 6.9 points, 5.8 rebounds. She recorded four double-digit scoring games and two double-digit rebounding outings. Prior to playing for ASC Theresianum Mainz, she attended Baobob College in Lusaka, Zambia. Krüger was the youngest-ever player to compete in the Zambian national league and was a two-time MVP in nationals. “Saskia gives us a post player who perfectly fits our style of play with her ability to play inside out,” USU head coach Wes Brooks said. “She embraces the physicality that is needed to play the position.  She has good hands, as well as good footwork. She runs the floor well and can step outside to hit the 3 and can attack from the perimeter. Saskia is

Following the conclusion of spring ball Mendenhall said his staff had identified the “exact needs” of the team and that they were “very specific and intentional,” though he chose not to share specifics. But in looking through the list of transfers, it’s easy to see what those needs were. Mendenhall and his staff clearly targeted the defensive line and defensive backfield with their spring portal additions. The Aggies have added four defensive linemen and three defensive backs.
