The Washington Huskies announced Tuesday that David Rice , the former head coach at UNLV and an assistant last season at Nevada, will join the UW men's basketball staff as an assistant coach. The hire completes the assistant coaching staff of first-year coach Mike Hopkins, who was hired March 17 to replace Lorenzo Romar. David Rice , 48, joins Will Conroy and Cameron Dollar on an assistant staff comprised of coaches with considerable west-coast familiarity. A native of Pomona, California, David Rice compiled a 98-54 record in four-plus seasons as head coach at UNLV before being fired amid a 9-7 start during the 2015-16 season. He had spent 20 years as an assistant before that, starting as a graduate assistant at UNLV in 1991, then moving on to stops at Chaffey Community College (1993-94), UNLV again (1994-2004) and BYU (2005-11) before landing the head job at UNLV. 'I have tremendous respect for Coach Hopkins,' David Rice said in a statement released by the school. 'He is a terrific basketball coach and it's evident that he makes a significant difference in the lives of his players both on and off the court. There is a great tradition at the University of Washington and I'm excited to be a part of this staff to build upon that history. Our family looks forward to joining the thriving community of UW and Seattle.' David Rice spent the 2016-17 season as an assistant under coach Eric Musselman at Nevada. Hopkins, a first-time head coach, now has two assistants on his staff (David Rice and Dollar) with a combined 13 seasons of head-coaching experience. 'Dave is a proven winner,' Hopkins said in a statement released by the school. 'He has extensive coaching experience, not only as an assistant but as a head coach as well, and will be a huge asset to our program. Everywhere he has been has seen unprecedented success and he has also had a huge impact on the student-athletes he has worked with both on and off the court. He's succeeded at a high level and has seen firsthand what it takes to put together a strong group that can make a run in the postseason. We're thrilled to have him on staff and know that he will fit into the Husky family immediately.' Courtesy of: thenewstribune.com

Dejon Jarreau (6'3''-G) and Brison Gresham (6'9''-F/C) announced in April that after playing one season for the UMass Minutemen, they'd be taking their talents elsewhere. The tandem apparently found a new landing spot, according to the latest report. On Saturday, it was reported that the duo will join the Houston Cougars for the 2018-19 season, according to Joseph Duarte, who noted that the pair of players will head to JUCO for one year to clear up academic issues. Jarreau - a combo guard - and Gresham - a power forward -are good friends from the New Orleans area who played their prep ball at McDonogh 35. Jarreau was the No. 1 player in the state coming out of the 2016 class, per 247, which lent the guard a 4-star rating. He had a handful of offers from notable programs such as Memphis, Arizona, Miami (FL), Creighton and Wichita State, among others. As for Gresham, he was the No. 6 player in Louisiana out of the same pool. The former 3-star recruit held offers from a number of programs matching Jarreau's, and the two ultimately became a package deal to Amherst despite the vast majority of crystal-ball rankings pointing to Miami. Jarreau averaged 9.8 points over 24.4 minutes per game for the Minutemen as a freshman. Gresham was used more sparingly, averaging 3.3 points across 12 minutes. UMass finished 15-18 over the 2016-17 season. The Cougars went 21-11. The two latest commits for the 2018-19 season are bright spots for head coach Kelvin Sampson, who took over the Houston basketball program in 2014. Courtesy of: fanragsports.com

Iowa State added a scoring option on Thursday night, one who is eligible immediately. Zoran Talley (6'7''-F), who spent his first three seasons at Old Dominion, will join the Cyclones as a graduate transfer this season. 'We are excited to add Zoran to our program,' Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm said in a statement issued by the athletic department. 'He has had great success, both personally and as a team, at ODU and will be an asset for our team. Zoran brings versatility on both ends of the floor and his ability to play and guard several positions will benefit us. He can score and make plays and with him being immediately eligible, that is great for us.' Talley, a 6-foot-7 wing, averaged 11.3 points for the Monarchs last season as a sophomore. However, he was dismissed from the team in April for a violation of team rules. This was preceded by two separate suspensions during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, according to Ed Miller of the Virginia Pilot. He redshirted the 2014-15 season, leaving him two years of eligibility remaining at Iowa State. He is set to graduate in August. Talley and fellow graduate transfer Hans Brase (Princeton) provides a boost in scoring, as well as in experience, in a frontline that returns Solomon Young, the rising sophomore big man.
