"We're really pleased about where we are," Duryea said. "We have a group coming back with good experience. We have guys slotted into their proper positions. We're not size-deficient at any position. We feel like we've got a little depth. … It's exciting."
Utah State finished 16-15 last season and expects to return three starters: wing Jalen Moore (15.2), point guard Shane Rector (9.3) and blue-collar power forward Quinn Taylor (4.2). Sixth man Julion Pearre (8.0) and center Elston Jones (4.2) are also back.
Moore's final status depends on whether he stays in the NBA Draft pool.
