As he enters his first season as Southern Utah’s men’s basketball coach, NickRobinson is excited about the opportunity, about the team and about theschool’s first season in the Big Sky Conference.

“Moving into the Big Sky is an exciting opportunity for Southern Utah,” hepointed out. “Obviously there has been tradition established at the top, and as anew head coach trying to compete and prove that we belong will be a challenge.

“As a first-year head coach it’s an extremely exciting opportunity, not just formyself but for our staff and our team and for everybody that’s associated withthe program,” Robinson added. “We look forward to working hard every singleday, to competing, to learning from mistakes that may be made, and enjoyingthe opportunity to be in the Big Sky.”

“We’ve really appreciated the support from the community and we look forwardto the support at each of our home games,” the coach went on to say. “The stu-dent and the community support at each of our home games are important to usand to our success. The Centrum is a great place to play and we’re excitedabout the opportunity to defend our home court.”

SUU has 10 letter-winners – including two starters – and one redshirt returningfrom last year’s squad.

Forward Jackson Stevenett and guard Damon Heuir are the returning starters,while Wade Collie, Jaren Jeffery, Jordan Johnson, Tyson Koehler, Chris Nsenki,Julian Scott, Cal Hanks and Matt Gardner also return. John Renfro is also backafter spending last season as a redshirt.

“The returning group, from last year, has displayed leadership in their ownways,” Robinson said. “I also have been impressed by their willingness to buy-into our staff and what we’ve been asking them to do. Moving forward I think that’simportant, that the returning players who have had some big successes andwon some big games, are able to pass on those experiences to our youngerplayers and our new guys.”

The Thunderbirds have added four newcomers to the squad: center JaysonCheesman, wings A.J. Hess and Zach Ghormley and point guard DrakeThomas.

Cheesman was an all-Scenic West Athletic Conference performer last season atSalt Lake Community College, while Hess was an all-Arizona selection as wellas Arizona’s small schools player of the year last year at Phoenix Country DaySchool. Ghormley and Thomas were teammates on back-to-back Texas statechampionship squads at Grace Preparatory Academy. Ghormley was an all-dis-trict and second-team all-state selection while Thomas was an all-district hon-oree for the Lions last year.

“All of our incoming players as well as those who didn’t have much playing ex-perience last year will have an opportunity to play,” Robinson noted. “As we gothroughout the season they’ll have an opportunity to determine how much theycan continue to contribute.

“With a new staff it’s a new season, it’s a new basketball team. We all have tomake sacrifices to be the best that we can be at our specific roles.”Upon taking over the team Robinson and his staff developed a goal of instillingconsistency and confidence into the team, as well as to work on skill level, andthose efforts seem to be paying off.

“Right now I like the effort we’ve had since we began workouts this fall, but Ialso liked the effort of the guys who were on campus this summer,” Robinsonpointed out. “I believe we’re improving on the culture, we’ve got a little bit of away to go but I definitely like the effort of each of the guys individually and whatwe’re putting together as a team.


“The fall preseason we’ve improved our condi-tioning tremendously, thanks to our strength andconditioning program and Coach Jake Hutton,who has done a fantastic job,” Robinson went onto say. “We’ve also improved our skill level aswe’ve focused on fundamentals throughout thefall season.”

PERIMETER PLAYERS

Stevenett, Heuir, Johnson and Collie give theteam four veterans on the wing, while Hess,Ghormley and Gardner will look to learn and con-tribute as they develop in the system.

Stevenett earned second-team all-SummitLeague recognition last year after leading theThunderbirds in scoring and rebounding. He thenwent on to earn a spot on the Summit League’sall-tournament team following a 26-point, nine-re-bound effort in the team’s first round win overOakland. Stevenett averaged 14.1 points and 5.7rebounds last season while shooting at a 51.2rate from the field and .758 from the free throwline.

“Jackson is excited about the upcoming seniorseason and the opportunity to continue to buildas a scorer and a rebounder,” Robinson noted.“He’s excited about playing in the Big Sky Confer-ence this year. He’s improved defensively and willprovide leadership for our basketball team. Hecan play on the low block as well as out on theperimeter.”

Heuir also capped his season with a stellar per-formance at the Summit League tourney, scoring23 points and dishing out a team-high five assistsin the win over Oakland, then leading the teamwith 14 points and three assists against SouthDakota State in the semi-finals after Stevenettsuffered a sprained ankle early in that game. Forthe season Heuir averaged 10.8 points, 3.1 re-bounds and 3.1 assists.

“Damon is another senior who is looking forwardto proving that he’s a complete guard in ourleague,” Robinson said. “Damon is explosive andhe’s improved his perimeter shooting. He’s also a

great competitor who will provide solid leadership at his position. “

Johnson, along with Stevenett, is one of two returning players who played in all 31 ofthe team’s games last year. The defensive specialist and the team’s sixth man aver-aged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game and was second on the squad with 28steals.

“Jordan provides a tremendous amount of energy for our basketball program, as wellas leadership,” Robinson pointed out. “Jordan has proven that he can make a differ-ence on the court, especially at the defensive end of the floor.”

Collie played in all but one game with four starts and averaged 4.3 points, 2.9 re-bounds and 2.7 assists per game. He also played a key role in the Thunderbirds’ Sum-mit League tourney win over Oakland, hitting all five of his shots and both of his freethrow to finish with 14 points in the 84-82 win.

“Wade’s improved during the course of the summer and fall as a guard,” Robinson

noted. “He’ll have an opportunity to make his teammates better and to defend inour league.”

Hess, Ghormley and Gardner all had outstanding high school careers, and theywill look for that to transition into the collegiate game.

“AJ and Zach both had great high school careers and look to impact our pro-gram,” the coach said. “They both shoot the ball extremely well and are both ag-gressive.

“Matt’s worked hard this summer in order to make the basketball team and looksto contribute every day.”

Nsenki was the primary reserve point guard last season, but he didn’t get a lot ofgame time with the since-graduated Ray Jones, Jr., leading the team in minutesplayed. He did experience the Division I level, however, averaging around fiveminutes per game, and he has earned a reputation as a good shooter.

“Chris has shot the ball extremely well through the summer and the fall,” Robin-son noted. “He’s improved his court awareness and his ability to make othersbetter. He’s matured physically over the past year.”

The coaches also have high hopes for Thomas, once he develops as a DivisionI player.

“Drake competed at a high level in high school and had a lot of responsibility onhis shoulders,” the coach pointed out. “He’ll work to continue to make his team-mates better and to set the tone defensively and offensively.”

When asked about the strengths of the team, Robinson responded that he likesthe team’s depth, inside presence and the players’ ability to shoot the basket-ball.

“I think our depth, our inside presence and our ability to shoot the ball arestrengths,” he said. “We’ve got guys who are hungry at every position, who areexcited about the opportunity to play and will have the opportunity to produce incompetition. I like our improved ability to be able to shoot the basketball from the3-point line as well as our balance inside.”

IN THE POST

Four players will vie for playing time in the post, including Koehler, Scott, Hanksand Cheesman.

Koehler has come off the bench at both the center and power forward positionsthe past two seasons. Last year he averaged 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds pergame while shooting at a team-high 61.1 percent rate from the floor. Scott ap-peared in 15 games and averaged 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 2011-12. Bothcame into the fall bigger and stronger than they were last season.

“Tyson and Julian both improved their conditioning tremendously during thecourse of the summer,” Robinson said. “Tyson shoots the ball well from 19 feetand in, and Julian and Tyson are both extremely effective from 15 feet and in,and around the basket. Both are strong, competitive individuals that want to con-tinue to improve.”

Hanks saw limited duty last season, appearing in five games, but he has shownconsistent improvement since joining the team in the fall of 2010. Cheesmanhad a successful junior college career; making the adjustment to the Division Ilevel will be a key for him.

“Jayson and Cal both provide height and athleticism at the defensive end as wellas rebounding the basketball,” the coach notes. “Both are excited to contributeat the Division I level and will have an opportunity to prove themselves.”



Jeffrey and Renfro will vie for time at the power forward position. Jeffery had an out-standing season as a true freshman in 2008-09 before departing on an LDS churchmission and last year he contributed while getting back into shape following his return.Renfro, who sat out last season as a redshirt, is one of the team’s better shooters fromlong-range as well as an athletic presence.

When talking about his big men up front, Robinson says, “Jaren is one of our mostcompetitive players. He has great instincts for the basketball when it comes to re-bounding as well as defending. During the course of the summer and fall he has alsoimproved his perimeter shooting. John is a very good 3-point shooter who continues toimprove his ball-handling skills. They both provide length and athleticism for ourteam.”

Although SUU lost its first league game,a 61-55 setback at Oral Roberts, it went onthe road to win two of three SL games toclose the calendar year. The Thunderbirdsopened 2012 by losing back to back closecontests against South and North DakotaStates, but won five of its next six conferenc contests, including a road sweep ofIUPUI and Western Illinois. The team faded down the stretch, however, losing six ofits final seven regular-season games heading into the tournament, where it upsetOakland before falling to eventual tourney champ South Dakota State. The team finished sixth in the league with an 8-10 mark and went 14-17 overallfor its best record during Roger Reid’s five seasons at the helm of the program.

THE BIG SKY CONFERENCE


A new era in the Big Sky Conference begins in 2012-13 as the league enters its 50th year of athletic competi-tion, and its 25th sponsoring women’s collegiate athletics.

The Division I Big Sky Conference welcomes the University of North Dakota and Southern Utah Universityinto the fold as full members. Cal Poly and UC Davis join the league as affiliate members in football, where theleague competes at the Championship Subdivision level (formerly I-AA).

The additions of North Dakota and Southern Utah give the stable Big Sky 11 full institutions and 13 footballmembers. The current lineup includes four of the six charter members: Idaho State University, The University ofMontana, Montana State University and Weber State. Northern Arizona enters its 43rd season in the Big Sky, giv-ing the conference five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership.

Eastern Washington University joined the Big Sky Conference in 1987, followed by Portland State Universityand Sacramento State in 1996. The Big Sky became a nine-team league in 2006 with the addition of the Univer-sity of Northern Colorado.

The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in theFootball Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, in-cluding Eastern Washington in 2010. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship in three of thepast four seasons.

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga,Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before theleague expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was re-placed by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with theaddition of Eastern Washington.

The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put theBig Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Port-land State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years beforeCal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001.

The Big Sky now includes nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of NorthDakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and Cali-fornia. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah,Arizona and Colorado.

On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the nameof the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of GreatFalls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted theBig Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont.,legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana.Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of theSpokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his col-umn dated Feb. 20, 1963.

The Big Sky sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor andoutdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’svolleyball, golf and soccer. Thisupcoming spring, the Big Sky willsponsor a softball championshipfor the first time.

In 1988-89, the Big Sky Con-ference first began sponsoringwomen’s sports. The formerMountain West Conference ex-

isted from 1982-88, sponsoring championships forwomen’s sports at the same institutions the Big Skyhad men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with theMountain West in 1988, forming one league for bothmen and women.

Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the BigSky Conference, is in his 18th year at the helm.Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, re-placing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson,who passed away in 2011. Stephenson served theleague for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commis-sioner from 1977-81, while John Roning held thepost from 1971-77. The first league commissionerwas Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

Dear Thunderbird Fans and Supporters:

One of America’s great coaches once said, “The will to winis not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.” All of usat Southern Utah University are committed to helping our stu-dent-athletes as they prepare to win on their respective fieldsand courts of competition. But more importantly, we are commit-ted to helping them acquire those tools, experiences, and skillsthat will help them succeed in life and their life’s work. I thankyou for your continued commitment to SUU and its many out-standing athletic programs which now number 17 – the secondhighest number of Division I sports programs offered in the en-tire State of Utah. For all those who enjoy a football Saturday on a beautifulfall day in the shadow of Cedar Mountain, the benefits of Divi-sion I athletics in our community are innumerable. From the dol-lars spent by visiting teams and fans in our local places ofbusiness to the positive media coverage generated by our stu-dent-athletes, the University is the beneficiary of these and otherpositive by-products of the substantial investment in our athleticprogram. Donors and alumni are even more proud of their asso-ciation with the University when they see a return on their do-nated dollars in the form of success on the field and in theclassroom.

Excellence in athletics will continue to be an investment weare willing to make at Southern Utah University. In addition tothose student-athletes who learn invaluable lessons in both the“thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” athletics provide excel-lent participation opportunities for students in bands, cheersquads, dance teams, trainers, marketing interns, and manymore. Our student athletes also represent a large percentage ofthe geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious diversity oncampus which, I believe, enhances and enriches the academicand social experience of ALL our students. I heartily commend our athletic director, Ken Beazer, andhis able and committed staff for their superb stewardship of thefunds directed toward athletics. I also wish to thank all the aca-demic and support staff who regularly monitor the progress ofour student-athletes to ensure their commitment to “prepare towin” while at SUU and well beyond. Thank you for your support of Southern Utah University andthe proud Thunderbird tradition.

Yours sincerely,

SUU President Michael Benson

SUU has a history unique in the annals of American higher education. In 1897, the en-tire population of Cedar City, then a small pioneer town, engaged in the building of OldMain, the first building of the University. Beginning the project in mid-winter because of aharsh deadline imposed by the legislature, the men and women of the community do-nated materials, money and labor to complete the building on time.

Today the university campus has grown to comprise 133 acres, landscaped withfountains, tall spruce and pine trees, plazas, statuary, latticed walkways and expansivelawns, offering the kind of education you’d expect to receive at a small, private school atthe low price of a public institution.
