Basketball: USU an easy choice for Quayle
When push came to shove, choosing Utah State was an easy decision for Jared Quayle, the 6-foot-2 shooting guard who averaged 25.3 points a game for Western Wyoming Community College this season.
Quayle orally committed to the Aggies a week ago, just before his team lost in the semifinals of its conference tournament.
"I was just familiar with Utah State, pretty much," said the former Box Elder High all-stater. "I grew up watching them play and I've pretty much lived there. Once they offered, it was an easy call."
Quayle, one of the top five junior college scorers in the nation, said he will sign his letter of intent with the Aggies the second week of April.
He was also offered by Weber State, Louisiana Tech and a couple of small four-year schools in California.
He will play both shooting guard and point guard for Utah State, but scoffs at the notion he will be counted on to fill the scoring void left by the great Jaycee Carroll, who graduates this spring.
"Nobody can do that," he said.
Quayle began his college career at the College of Eastern Utah, but the coaching staff changed while he was on his LDS Church mission. So he transferred to Western Wyoming when he got home, joining a brother and a cousin in Rock Springs.
