In the past week both McKay Cannon (Shelley High School, 2013) and Clark Wilkinson (Highland High School, 2013) have received scholarship offers from Idaho State University. Neither has given a verbal commitment at this point.
Wilkinson, a 6-6 forward, and Cannon, a 6-0 point/shooting guard, played on Idaho Select’s White team this past summer, leading them to an 18-3 record, a championship at the NW Premier Showcase in Seattle and a final-four appearance at the Best of the Summer in Anaheim.
Wilkinson’s family is no stranger to Idaho State University. His dad, Dale, also played at the university before being drafted by the Phoenix Suns in the 1982 NBA draft. Last season, as a sophomore, Wilkinson was selected to the District V-VI Coaches First Team.
Cannon, as a sophomore, was a First Team All Conference selection, averaging 14.3 points, 4.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He first came on to college recruiter’s radars when he opened Shelley’s 2010-11 season with a 35 point performance. Cannon is expected to serve a LDS mission after graduating from high school.
This makes five Division I scholarship offers to Idaho Select players in the last two years. In addition to Wilkinson and Cannon, Mitch Bruneel has signed with Utah State (from College of Southern Idaho) while Joey Nebeker (Melba High School, 2012) and Riley Bradshaw (Corvallis High School, 2012) are expected to sign with Boise State and Utah State during the upcoming early signing period, respectively.
