Fresno State gets a mention with this kid

Here's a kid who mentions Fresno State as one of his top three choices. He appears to be leaning towards Pacific (which way are they leaning?) but FSU and CSU Monterey Bay are also listed in his top three at the moment:

River City's Yevy Yev
Mike Yarbrough


Have you heard of Yevgeniy Dyachenko? Maybe you know him as simply "Yev". Or his more hip name, "Yevy Yev". Or perhaps you may know that, in Russian, "Jeka" is short for Yevgeniy. Whatever name you want to call him, Yevgeniy Dyachenko is ready to make a name for himself in the basketball world. And the people who follow the Capital Valley League, or more specifically West Sacramento's River City High School, certainly know about him.

Averaging over 22 points per game certainly makes him an appealing prospect. He has already had eight games where he scored 27 or more points for the 15-5 River City Raiders. Add to that 3.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.1 steals and you can see why colleges might take interest. And playing four years of varsity ball doesn't hurt, either...

Go here for the remainder and a Rivals subscription is required.
