Robert Upshaw will play collegiately at Fresno State.

Upshaw said it was a long-standing relationship with coach Rodney Terry that convinced him to sign with the Bulldogs.

''I sat down and really thought about it and I felt like me and Coach Terry's relationship the past four years has been something has been building,'' said Upshaw, who had narrowed his list to include Georgetown and Louisville. ''I didn't want to go to a school where I just barely met the coach.

''The real thing about it is I've had a relationship with Coach Terry that been lasting for the past four years and that's what really turned me on and I feel like I can make this program better as a player, as an individual.''
