Nash Gillette, a standout guard from Idaho’s Magic Valley, has verbally committed to the College of Southern Idaho men’s basketball program, citing family ties and a dream to play for the Golden Eagles.
Family Ties and Local Support
Gillette’s cousin, Kennedy Gillette, previously shone on the CSI women’s basketball team, and the broader Gillette family has long been embedded in the campus community, providing a support network that the player hopes to tap into both on and off the court.
Stats and State Tournament Run
During his senior year he averaged 18 points, seven rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, numbers that helped the Burley team secure a berth in the state tournament and highlighted his role as a primary scorer and playmaker.
Balancing Mission and Basketball
After completing a two‑year mission, Gillette will join the Golden Eagles for the upcoming season, eager to experience game day atmospheres from the hardwood and to contribute to a program that values high basketball IQ and inside‑the‑arc scoring.
Looking Ahead
Coaches note that while his shooting range could still develop, his ability to read defenses and create scoring opportunities makes him a valuable addition, and the program is excited to see how his skill set evolves under their guidance.
