As the old joke goes, Nick Weaver is a union shooter. . . he won't cross the line. Brought in from an Arizona junior college primarily to bolster CSU's three-point shooting, the junior is capable of using his long-range shooting ability to extend opponent defenses and in the process, creating opportunities for the Viking post-players. Count on him being a key contributer on the wing this season.
