LOGAN — After being raised on Utah State basketball and then starring for the Aggies the past four years, Sam Merrill is extremely well versed in the history of USU basketball for a 24-year-old.
When asked who was the last Aggie to be selected in the NBA draft, he quickly responded, “It was Greg, right? Greg Grant.”
Like Merrill, Greg Grant was also a returned missionary from the Salt Lake City area who ended up starring for the Aggies. And Grant, who graduated as USU’s all-time leading scorer, ended up being picked by the Detroit Pistons.
