UNBC Men’s Basketball Commits Big Man Jesse Mushiana
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C.
At six-foot-six, Mushiana addresses a need for depth at the post position for the Timberwolves.
Mushiana is entering his fourth year of Canada West eligibility, having played his first two seasons at Langara College, and his third year at Capilano University. He says his experiences at the PacWest level has helped him grow as a player.
Mushiana and his Langara teammates won the 2014 CCAA National Championship, and UNBC coach Todd Jordan says he expects his new recruit to utilize those experiences to help the Timberwolves.
The native of Vancouver is familiar with Jordan, having played for the Provincial team under the UNBC bench boss when Mushiana was a high school senior.
Last year’s Timberwolves roster boasted just two players standing six-foot-five or taller. Jordan says the addition of a veteran presence like Mushiana allows more rotation options on the floor.
A graduate of Sir Winston Churchill Secondary in 2013, Mushiana suggests he is a far different, and far better player, than when he was a highly-touted recruit in high school. He intends to make a big impact on the Timberwolves, and their pursuit of the Canada West playoffs.
