With Tai Wesley now playing professionally overseas, USU can no longer bring the ball upcourt, give him the rock and expect a bucket.
The Aggies will simply have to work a little differently for their points.
This team has the makings of a different group than fans have seen under Stew Morrill. With people like Kyisean Reed, Antonio Bumpus, Steven Thornton and Adam Thoesby, Utah State will have the wings to run with people like New Mexico State and Nevada.
Not to mention Brockeith Pane running the point and Brady Jardine filling the lanes.
"We have a lot of guys that can get out and run," Morgan Grim said. "We want to be able to take advantage of that."
Will Morrill release his team to get up and down in transition? That's a big question and one that needs to be answered. He was liberal last year with Pane, who loves to push the ball. A difference this year is that the Aggies have a number of guys who will run with Pane.
