Cole Huff Commits To Nevada

Oct 25, 2011 1:13 PM

Cole Huff, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound small forward from Campbell Hall High in North Hollywood, tweeted Monday night that he has orally committed to play for Nevada next season.

Huff took an official recruiting visit to Nevada last weekend. He was scheduled to take a trip to UTEP this weekend but decided to end his recruitment.

"There aren't that many players with his body and length that can shoot it like he can," Campbell High coach Steve Wachs said. 

Huff, who originally committed to San Diego State before de-committing over the summer, chose Nevada over offers from Pepperdine, UC Irvine, Denver and UTEP, among others.

Nevada Sophomores Calling Themselves 'Fab Four'

Oct 18, 2011 6:41 PM

Nevada is a popular pick to knock off Utah State for supremacy of the WAC this season.

Deonte Burton was selected as the preseason player of the year. Burton was the WAC freshman of the year.

Burton, along with his fellow sophomores Jordan Burris, Jordan Finn and Kevin Panzer have begun calling themselves the Fab Four.

"I watched the (ESPN 30 for 30) documentary of the Fab Five over summer … it reminded me a lot of us, and so now we call ourselves the Fab Four," Burton said. "The Fab Five had an awesome record, and we just try to look at that as motivation." 

With the Wolf Pack's 13-19 record last season (the first losing season for the team since 2000-01), the team has a lot of ground to gain if it wants to be remembered similar to the Fab Five. 

Nevada basketball head coach David Carter found the comparison somewhat humorous. 

"Those four are very close on and off the court," Carter said with a giggle. "That's a unique thing and they'll be friends for life. But shoot, compared to the Fab Five -- we're not even close [in terms of performance]."
