Northern Colorado Coach B.J. Hill came to town on Thursday to catch his recent signee, Paul Garnica of San Antonio Lee in action. Garnica did not disappoint as he recorded a triple double. Northern Colorado made it an efficient trip to The Alamo City as they also picked up a verbal commitment from San Antonio Taft's Dylan Elias. Elias projects to more of a point at the next level but is currently playing off the ball for Taft. 
When I spoke to Dylan's Pops, Jesus this morning he attributed the comfort in the early decision being made to his son's 4 day stay at the Northern Colorado campus this past June. The Texas D-1 Ambassadors-Carter team attended the UNC team camp and he fell in love with the Greeley, CO campus.
I kiddingly told Coach Hill this morning that he could just sit in his rocking chair in Greeley, CO and make his recruiting life easy by signing D-1 Ambassadors players and not have to run around chasing kids on the circuit all summer long.
I texted Elias' new team mate to be, Paul Garnica to let him know the news. Paul responded with a hearty, "I like that! That's whaz up" He's excited to have Dylan as a team mate. Congratulations to Dylan from The Texas D-1 Ambassadors Family...Coach Max, Coach Chip, Coach Lance.
