    Anthony Wells learned a lot about collegiate basketball during his freshman season, information that he is ready to put to use on the hardwood this winter. The next in the long line of Cleveland area high school students to come to CSU and succeed, he showed the poise and steadiness of a veteran when he was unexpectedly thrust into the rotation last year. Capable of playing at either of the guard spots, he is able to score in a myriad of ways, especially creating opportunities for himself off the dribble and his defensive skills make him suited to play in the Gary Waters system.

    • Played in 25 of the last 26 games, averaging 1.4 points in 10.8 minutes.
