Basketball: SUU lands ex-CSU recruit
Southern Utah University basketball fans have two more new players to get to know.
SUU coach Roger Reid announced today that he has signed two more men's basketball players, bringing the total of 2008 spring signings to six.
The Thunderbirds have signed Jake Nielson, a freshman guard from Aurora, Colo., and Eules Thompson, a junior college transfer from Southwest College in Los Angeles.
Nielson, 6-3, 200, played for Grandview High in Colorado before going on an LDS Church mission to Seoul, South Korea. He originally signed with Colorado State out of high school, and his sister, Mindy Nielson, is on BYU's women's basketball team.
Thompson, 6-2, 170, averaged 15.5 points a game for LA Southwest and will be a junior at SUU this fall.

Just got word that Davis High's Connor Van Brocklin and Viewmont's Davis Emery have signed with Salt Lake Community College's men's basketball team. Emery was a Tribune first-team all-state selection in 5A and Van Brocklin was a second-team all-state selection.
Van Brocklin's older brother, Brody, played for SLCC before moving on to Weber State.
