Fresno State Hires Recruiting Ace Away From Texas

Apr 8, 2011 9:58 AM

Rodney Terry was named the new Bulldogs men's basketball coach Thursday.

"I didn't want to just take some job just to be a head coach," Terry said. "I wanted the right job. Fresno State is the right job."

Terry, 43, spent the past nine years as an assistant under Rick Barnes at Texas. Before that, it was four seasons at North Carolina-Wilmington and two at Baylor.

At each stop, recruiting was his primary responsibility. Terry said he will continue to chase elite talent to bring to Fresno State.

"The same guys that UCLA, USC wants, those'll be the same guys that we'll try to go after," Terry said. "When you're trying to win your conference and dominate, you always want to play or recruit to the level above."

Daniel Gibson of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dexter Pittman of the Miami Heat and current Longhorns players and McDonald's All-Americans Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson are among the players whom Terry played a key role in recruiting to Texas.
