The Utah Pump-N-Run squad has continued their recent success this week at the DoublePump Best of Summer Tournament in Anaheim, California. The team went 3-0 in pool play games, and has since won their first two games in the tournament bracket. <\/p>\n
The first tournament win came yesterday against EBC Elite, a team from Seattle, Washington. Leading the way for the Pump-N-Run was David Collette with 17 points and 9 rebounds. Jordan Loveridge chipped in with 12 points and 6 boards. Collette and Loveridge have seemingly been taking turns as scoring leader. In pool play Loverdge dropped 26 and 10 boards on GroundUP while Collette dropped 23 and 12 on Houston.<\/p>\n
Today the team pulled out a nail biter against the Minnesota Select winning 69-66. Up 67-66 with under 30 seconds remaining in the game, Marcel Davis came up with a big deflection, knocking the ball to Jordan Pryor who was subsequently fouled and made two clutch free throws. Pryor and Quincy Bair have both been suffering from flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n
Some stats from today’s game:<\/p>\n
Loveridge – 22 points and 7 boards
\nCollette – 18 points, 3 boards, 5 blocks
\nDavis – 11 points
\nPryor – 10 points with two timely 3’s<\/p>\n
There are reports that all of the major universities from around the state are represented at the tournament including Utah State, BYU, Utah, Weber State, SUU, UVU, and Dixie College.<\/p>\n
This Salt Lake Tribune writeup<\/a> had a couple of interesting quotes from Jordan Loveridge:<\/p>\n When asked about how his three Utah State bound teammates pushing him to commit to Utah State he said:<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all good, they don\u2019t bug me too bad about it, but they don\u2019t have to,\u201d he said. \u201cThey know that they want me to join them up there real bad, and they know that I know, so they don\u2019t say much. I really like Utah State, but I like a lot of schools right now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Regarding his current offers and prospects for more he said:<\/p>\n \u201cThey can\u2019t contact me when I\u2019m playing, but I definitely know that they\u2019re there,\u201d said Loveridge. \u201cI want more offers. That would be great. We\u2019ll just have to see what comes my way after we\u2019re done with all of this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n With the limited internet coverage of this tournament, usustats has received limited news on the rest of the Aggie recruits who are participating. The only news we have heard is that Jalen Moore’s Cache Valley Elite squad won their first game behind an impressive scoring performance by Jalen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Utah Pump-N-Run squad has continued their recent success this week at the DoublePump Best of Summer Tournament in Anaheim, California.
