Niko Medved has wasted no time in his filling out his staff at Colorado State, as the school announced the additions of Ali Farokhmanesh and JR Blount to the Rams basketball program. The duo both served under Medved at Drake this past season, where they helped the Bulldogs to a 17-17 mark and a second round appearance in the CIT.
Farokhmanesh, who came of fame as a player during Northern Iowa’s 2010 NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen run when he hit a game-clinching three-pointer to upset Kansas, comes to Fort Collins after spending the past four years as an assistant at both Drake and Nebraska.
