Evan Nelson heading to Salpointe

One of the most significant moves of the high school basketball off-season is the move of Mountain View sophomore-to-be guard Evan Nelson to Salpointe Catholic. Nelson projects as a Division I prospect in the Class of 2020, perhaps already the top player in Tucson with the exception of Salpointe junior-to-be Majok Deng, who has been offered a scholarships by Arizona, Stanford, Arizona State and Cal, among others. Nelson will join new Salpointe coach Jim Reynolds, who coached for 38 years in Ohio before moving to Tucson and replacing Brian Holstrom, who coached the Lancers to the state championship game a year ago.
