PROVO — Dave Rose is battling to stop a three-game losing streak, and he’s got a trio of recruits from Shanghai, China, Brazil and nearby Timpview High in his backyard this week playing in the Great Western Shootout at Orem High.
It should satisfy Rose significantly if he could end the losing streak with a win over Utah State on Wednesday in the Marriott Center and show some positive vibes toward his foreign center, Shengzhe Li, future BYU Brazilian forward Bernardo Da Silva and local Timpview star Nate Hansen.
The 6-foot-11 Li plays for former BYU assistant and Utah Valley head coach Jeff Reinert at Santa Margarita High School in California.
