Big Sky, Big West, & WAC Previews with WSU’s Dillon Jones & EWU’s Cedric Coward — HPP S3-E02

Hoops Prospects Podcast (HPP)

In a jam-packed show, Jake Copestick and Rich Harris preview the Big Sky, the Big West, and the WAC conferences with help from two special guests — Weber State wing Dillon Jones and Eastern Washington forward Cedric Coward. Jones, the Player of the Year favorite in the Big Sky and an All-America candidate, averaged 16.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game last season, leading the conference in rebounding and ranking among the top five in AST%, STL%, REB%, offensive rating, defensive rating, win shares, and P/M. Coward, a junior poised to have a breakout season, finished last season with outstanding shooting splits (.683/.394/.742) and led the Big Sky with a plus-minus of 6.2. He also finished in the top 10 of the conference for REB%, STL%, BLK%, defensive rating, PER, and win shares.
Additionally, Jake and Rich discuss conference realignment in a new edition of the College Hoops Notebook. And, per usual, this episode is separated into chapters so you can easily skip to the sections that most interest you.
