Utah State women’s basketball made two additions this week, one player and one coach. The former is international signee, Saskia Krüger who played in Germany last year. The latter 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 a good post defender who will continue to grow and develop in

The 2025-26 season for Utah State men’s basketball is months away, but that doesn’t mean speculation can’t happen regarding what the season could look like. Now is a great time to do some early speculation on starting lineups and a potential depth chart for the Aggies, especially with the roster now completed. Along with predictions on starting lineups and the depth chart, I’ll include an official edition of per-game stat predictions. This is something I’ve dabbled in before, and even posted publicly at times. Here, I’m making it official and putting myself out there to potentially look like a moron later. But, in the end, all of this is just in good fun. Potential Starting Lineups Let’s start with what I believe will be the starting lineup for Utah State for the first game of the season, assuming perfect health for the team when they take the court for the first time. (PG) Drake Allen (SG) Mason Falslev (SF) MJ Collins (PF) Garry Clark (C) Karson Templin Here’s an alternate starting five where I make all potential adjustments I’ll go over in a second. You could mix and match some of these changes, taking one or two but not

LOGAN — With the Utah State men’s basketball roster set for the 2025-26 season, the tide of work for Jerrod Calhoun turns from constant recruiting and fundraising and toward actual basketball-related activities. Earlier this week, the now second-year coach sat down with local media to discuss the offseason, incoming players and his own offseason, which included his torn meniscus, a souvenir of his summertime hours spent playing pickleball and pick-up basketball in what little free time he’s had.

This is the full audio from that presser, focused primarily on the upcoming offseason, his efforts to raise NIL money for his roster and improvements he hopes to see from returning players. Cache Valley Media Group In his own words, Calhoun’s offseason hasn’t been the thrilling and exciting affair that his team’s 26-win season ended up being. He called it “probably been one of the worst (off-seasons) for me personally.” The need for raising NIL salary for his players has been a pressing constant. In an April 1 interview with the Full Court Press, Calhoun noted

Three basketball players from the Mountain West received invites to the 2025 NBA Combine this year, an event that begins today in Chicago and goes through next Sunday. It’s the most invites from the conference since 2020, which had an expanded pool of players participate in a virtual combine as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Colorado State wing Nique Clifford, San Diego State wing Myles Byrd and Nevada jumbo-guard Kobe Sanders will all showcase their skills for NBA scouts this week. Each of those three (plus a few other players who began their careers at Mountain West schools) have a range of possibilities for potential draft spot and prospects for how their careers may fare. We’ll take a look at each for all of the prospects covered here. The “Consensus Big Board” referenced for each player comes from rookiescale.com. It is, as the website explains (and in more detail), a compilation of media draft content that provides an overall view of where prospects are ranked by the whole of those who follow the NBA Draft process closely.
