Junior college point guard wants to keep winning at WSU

Charles Callison won 31 games this season at San Bernardino Valley College this past season. He'll try to keep the good mojo flowing at WSU next season.

Callison, a point guard, was named the Foothill Conference Player of the Year after averaging 15.4 points, four assists and three rebounds per game. Next year he'll be a Pac-12 basketball player, telling Cougfan.com that he plan on signing with the Cougars on April 15.

Because he's a junior college transfer, Callison will be expected to play right away for the Cougars. While freshman point guard Ny Redding started much of the season, late in the year Ernie Kent turned to Ike Iroegbu at that spot, although he seemed to have some reservations about taking Iroegbu out of his off-ball role.

If Callison can take care of the ball and allow Kent to keep Iroegbu at shooting guard, it seems like he'd have a good shot at starting next season.

The only tape of Callison I found is from his 2011-12 high school basketball season, but it gives you a sense of his game:
