Basketball: Former Aggie Bell will toll for NAIA school
It appears that Brayden Bell's basketball career is not over yet.
The 6-foot-9 forward has orally committed to Azusa Pacific, an NAIA Division I school in Los Angeles, according to his former club coach, Salt Lake Metro's Dave Hammer.
Bell, you may recall, is the former Brighton High all-stater who signed with the Big Ten's Ohio State out of high school. He played in only seven games for the Buckeyes, scoring 10 points, before transferring to Utah State.
After redshirting a year, Bell played in seven games for the Aggies last winter, but left at the semester break in December. He scored 12 points in 44 minutes for Utah State.
He will be eligible to play for Azusa Pacific next fall because it is an NAIA school. It is ranked No. 12 in the country and is 22-10 and will make its 12th straight appearance in the NAIA national tournament this week.
Bell averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks a game for the Bengals and was a 5A first-team all-state selection that year, along with Riverton's Joe Darger, who went on to UNLV and Oly's Shaun Green, still at Utah.
Several recruiting services ranked Bell as one of the top post players in the western U.S.
At Azusa Pacific, Bell wiil team with 6-10 center David Burgess, a former BYU player who transferred from BYU to Gonzaga and played for the Zags the second half of his sophomore season in 2007.
Burgess is the younger brother of former University of Utah star Chris Burgess and cousin of current BYU player Sam Burgess.
