MOSCOW, Idaho – Vandal hoops is back at it again, signing highly-touted forward Jared Rodriguez from the class of 2017.
 
A product of Glendale, Arizona, Rodriguez plays for head coach Eli Lopez at Mountain Ridge High School.  A 6-8 forward, Rodriguez also competes for the Arizona Power under head coach Glen Mayberry on the AAU circuit.
 
Rodriguez is a tremendous all-around talent that filled up the box score during his junior season.  He averaged 14.2 points per game to go along with 7.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks.  He shot a solid 42 percent from the field and cashed in at 38 percent from downtown while leading his team to an overall record of 19-7.
 
 "We are extremely happy that we stole this young man from Arizona," said head coach Don Verlin.  "Jared is a very skilled big man that plays with a competitive spirit.  He can hit the 3, rebound above the rim, score on the block and play multiple positions.  He will flourish in our system, our University and in our community.  He will be a great addition to the Vandal family and will be a great fit to the great men we already have in the program."
