FORT COLLINS — When Anthony Bonner was announced as a starter for Colorado State's season opener, it raised a few eyebrows.
Forced into the rotation last season because the Rams were down to just seven scholarship players, Bonner didn't exactly light it up. The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 3.6 points on less than 40 percent shooting, 1.3 rebounds and had almost as many turnovers as assists.
Turns out, coach Larry Eustachy knew what he was doing.
It took some time for Bonner to find his groove, but over the past three weeks he's emerged as one of the team's most consistent contributors on both ends of the floor.
