Colorado State basketball lands North Carolina Central transfer Stanton Kidd

FORT COLLINS, Colorado  --  Stanton Kidd wants to win against the best.

The former North Carolina Central forward informed The Coloradoan on Saturday of his decision to transfer and attend CSU.

Why the Rams?

Aside from feeling comfortable with coach Larry Eustachy and his staff, Colorado State University plays in the Mountain West — last season’s strongest conference in terms of RPI.

“I wanted to get more exposure so I can have a better shot playing with top competition,” Kidd said. “It’s not that the MEAC isn’t good competition, 15-9 in the MEAC is OK, but you won’t get recognized much by scouts. If you go 15-9 in the Mountain West, that’s a lot better. There are a lot of pro guys who have come from the Mountain West, plus the conference sends four or five teams to the NCAA tournament.”
