Continue ReadingThe 2016 class is arguably one of the best in Colorado history, at least in recent history, and it’s not just because of top end Division I prospects like De’Ron Davis, Justinian Jessup, and Justin Bassey.
Certainly those types of players have led the charge in raising the national profile of the state, but the immense depth—the low Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA prospects—have also helped the class leave its mark already.
Christian Hyatt is a talented player, with the ability to compete at multiple levels, but who found a niche for college. The Colorado Academy point guard announced his commitment to Colorado Christian University on his Twitter on Monday.
Hyatt will be one of those seniors worth the price of admission this winter. He’s compelling on the court with a knack for making some spectacular plays athletically and skill-wise. Hyatt is a fantastic creator and can do a little of everything. He is definitely a coach’s son with intelligence on and off the court.
As a freshman at CA, he averaged 12.1 points. As a sophomore, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, and, as a junior, 18.5 points, 4.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds. The Mustangs finished as the Class 3A runner-up each of the last two seasons and are expected to be in the thick of it again. With a core of Bassey, Hyatt, 6-foot-8 Will Creedon, and freshman guard Hunter Shkapich, Colorado Academy is loaded for a small-school program.
Colorado Christian University finished with a 19-15 record during the 2014-15 season. The Cougars compete in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, a high level Division II league, and went 11-11 in league play. CCU is in Lakewood, only about six miles from Colorado Academy.
