Ghassan Nehme Commits to Montana State

Montana State got a commitment from a guard from the class of 2014 last week, as 6'3'' Ghassan Nehme from Colorado Springs announced via twitter that he will be playing his college ball in Bozeman.

Nehne posted big numbers as a junior, per Gidal Kaiser:

Nehme’s Cheyenne Mountain Indians went 19-7 in 2012-13 and lost to Lewis Palmer in the Class 4A quarterfinals. He averaged 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.4 steals. Nehme also shot 35 percent from 3-point range (44 of 124) and 79 percent from the free-throw line (88 for 111).

He had offers from teams like Idaho State, Northern Colorado, and Wyoming, while Colorado and Boise State also showed interest. His father attended UNC, but that was not enough to make him a Bear.

He has a pure stroke, and showcased solid athleticism and passing ability (as his highlight video can attest). He's a complete player that looks like he could step in and play right away for the Bobcats. It is a big-time commitment for MSU. It makes them a bit guard-heavy starting next year, but the biggest thing is talent, and Nehme is talented. He looks like a steal for the Bobcats.
