BOULDER – The University of Colorado men's basketball team signed 13-year old Nicholas Nelson of Louisville, Colo., to a National Letter of Intent during a Draft Day ceremony Friday afternoon at the CU Events Center.
"Nick," along with his parents Mark and Maureen, and younger brother Xander, joined head coach Tad Boyle and sophomore forward Evan Battey on the podium to sign his official NLI. Boyle presented the recruit with a No. 13 jersey with his name on the back.
"(The Nelson family) has been around our program for a little over a year, have got to know the guys, been to a bit of practices and been in the locker room after some big wins," Boyle said.
