High Majors Like CSIs Sawyer
Dante Sawyer, a versatile 6-5, 210 pound small forward from the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, Id., has a number of high major programs recruiting him this summer.
A native of Oakland, Calif., Sawyer established himself as one of the top players in Region 18 last winter. He averaged 15.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for a team that finished 26-6. He earned Honorable Mention All-Region honors for the Golden Eagles.

CSI Asst. Coach Barret Peery brought JUCO Junction up to speed with Sawyer's recruitment this week. Peery said that Oklahoma State, UNLV, Pittsburgh, Nebraska and Oregon State are among the colleges showing heavy early interest in Sawyer.
JUCO Junction had a chance to watch Sawyer last March at the Region 18 Tournament in St. George. He's not only a high level athlete, but he's a pretty complete basketball player who does many things to help a team win.
We'll monitor Sawyer's recruitment as the fall signing period approaches in November.
