A couple blasts from the past coming

Idaho is in town for a game with ASU Saturday afternoon, and while it doesn’t scream “sellout,” at Wells Fargo, a couple Vandals players might have a few extra cheerleaders in the stands.
Veteran high school basketball followers may remember Michael Crowell, a 2004 graduate of Mesa High after he transferred from Chandler.
He starred at Blinn College and Central Arizona before joining Idaho as a junior.
By far the best 3-point shooter on Idaho at 48.4 percent, Michael Crowell was a stud at Chandler before transferring to Mesa, but the Vandals are looking for big things in his senior season.
The 6-foot-7 Crowell is playing 31.6 minutes per game, is third on the Vandals in scoring at 9.3 points per game, and second with five rebounds per game.
Secondly, freshman guard Barrett Brown played at Phoenix Mountain Pointe. He’s redshirting this year after a senior season of 8.8 points, three assists and two steals, but there’s plenty of athletic prowess in his background.
Barrett Brown led Phoenix Mountain Pointe to the state semifinals in 2006 and was one of the best to come out of the 5A Central Region last year.
One cousin, Terrence, plays football at New Mexico. Another cousin, David Carter, plays football at UCLA. A third cousin, Chris Carter, plays football at Fresno State.
