Weber State Gets the Point
Weber State's recent success and the hard work that coach Randy Rahe has done selling the basketball program are starting to pay dividends in the recruiting wars.
The Wildcats just landed one of the top five point guards on the West Coast, according to the Web site scouthoops.com.
Damian Lillard, a 5-foot-11 senior from Oakland called off several official visits he had scheduled to bigger programs and orally committed to Weber State on Wednesday.
"It was the right fit for me and my family," Lillard told recruiting analyst Greg Hicks. "They were very sincere in what they were saying and they were the first school recruiting me."
Last week, the Wildcats got a pledge from one of the best big men in Utah, Clearfield senior Nick Thompson.
A source told The Recruiting Trail that Lillard's commitment likely means the Wildcats will stop pursuing Josh Sharp, a 6-7 wing player from Lone Peak.
Sharp is scheduled to visit the University of Utah this weekend, but it is not certain whether the Utes, who have four oral commitments to date are are seemingly over their limit, have offered a ride to the Knights star.
As for Lillard, Hicks predicts that he will be an all-conference performer for the Wildcats. He was scheduled to visit Boise State and San Diego, but has called off those trips.
Lillard visited Weber State and St. Mary's a few weeks ago, and said he liked Weber better at that time. He was also drawing interest from Colorado State.
