Papa Samba Guisse: (SO) 6-foot-9 from Senegal.
"Papa is are most productive guy. He is a faceup 4 man that is long and can run the floor like a wide receiver," said Beck.
Papa is currently averaging 6.3 ppg and 6.6 rebounds this season for the Bruins. Cal State Fullerton, UC-Santa Barbara and Weber State-offered have shown strong interest in the forward.
"Papa usually only plays about 15 minutes a night for us, but he is very productive on the floor," said Beck.
Aaron Smith: (SO) 6-foot-8 from Kendrick, ID. Smith is a third year player who transferred in from the University of Idaho.
"Aaron is a faceup four man that can shoot the ball on the perimeter," said Beck.
Smith redshirted last season at University of Idaho last season. He is currently averaging 8.3 ppg and shooting 55.4% (61-110) from the floor. UW-Green Bay, Iowa, Furman, UC-Santa Barbara and Hawaii are showing interest in Smith this spring.
Davell Jackson: (SO) 6-foot-1 from Las Vegas, NV. Jackson signed with UNLV out of high school as a wide receiver on the football team.
"Davell has started every game for us this season and just recently scored 32 points versus College of Southern Idaho," said Beck.
Jackson is averaging 10.8 ppg this season. Jackson, a point guard, will be questionable for
graduation this spring and could go D1 football instead of basketball. Jackson has not used a redshirt year yet.
