Newcomers dont take long to impact college basketball -- not in this world of one-and-dones and transfers. Over a two-week span, we will look at the top five newcomers in each of the 10 biggest conferences. Next up is the Mountain West.Looking for those off-the-radar talents who could develop into big names? Look no further than the Mountain West Conference, which has produced several players who fit that description through the years.San Diego State, the perennial favorite, could again be headed for a top-25 ranking thanks to its group of newcomers. But dont be surprised if Fresno State, which won the league tournament last season, contends for the top spot.Montaque Gill-Caesar, San Diego State AztecsThe Aztecs have a pair of potential instant-impact newcomers, including Washington State graduate transfer?Valentine Izundu. The 6-foot-10 center should help their always-tough defense as a rim protector.Gill-Caesar, though, is a bucket-getter who should contribute where they need it the most. SDSU finished second to last in the Mountain West in scoring offense, averaging just 68.6 points per game. Gill-Caesar ranked No. 41 in the 2014 ESPN 100 and originally signed with Missouri. His freshman season was marred in part by a back injury he suffered midway through the year. He never quite had the same bounce after the injury although he still managed to average 9.1 points per game.The 6-foot-6 guard fits the mold of the versatile and athletic types coach Steve Fisher likes in his lineups. His length will make him an invaluable piece on the front line of the Aztecs pressure defense. But his ability to score will help compensate for the loss of Winston Shepard.William McDowell-White, Fresno State BulldogsFresh off its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2001, Fresno State believes it can sustain its success from last season. The addition of McDowell-White is a big reason why.McDowell-White joined his brother Darryl, a 6-foot-1 guard, who committed to Fresno State in January. The Bulldogs beat Texas A&M and Arizona State for the 6-foot-5 Aussie guard, who also garnered at least peripheral interest from Michigan State, Kansas and Kentucky. The Bulldogs dont normally roam in those recruiting neighborhoods, much less actually land their target. That in itself is a sign of progress for coach Rodney Terrys program.With a tailor-made NBA point guards frame, McDowell-White has the Bulldogs thinking theyve got the backcourt help needed to replace their veteran backcourt of Mountain West Player of the Year Marvelle Harris and floor leader Cezar Guerrero.McDowell-White still has to develop into a more consistent shooter, but his floor vision and ability to run a team is a step ahead of other Mountain West freshmen.Marcus Marshall, Nevada Wolf PackThe Wolf Pack return four players who each started at least 30 games last season, but none are as gifted a scorer as Marshall. He could be the most important of the 10 newcomers on the Packs roster.They ranked last in the Mountain West in 3-point percentage last season, shooting just 30.7 percent. Marshall is a career 39 percent shooter from behind the arc.Marshall will have only one season of eligibility at Nevada. He sat out last season after transferring from Missouri State, where he was the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year. He averaged 19.5 points per game and shot 45.6 percent from 3-point range in 14 games during that season.The asterisk that comes with Marshall stems from his final season at Missouri State. He was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, after which he announced the rare mid-January transfer.Christian Jones, UNLV RebelsUNLV coach Marvin Menzies filled out the majority of his roster after he was hired in late April. Jones, a graduate transfer from St. Johns, came on board in June and should provide instant help to a depleted frontcourt.Jones is just the kind of player Menzies needs in his first season to conform to his playing style. Jones isnt the type to play outside of his capabilities. He knows what earns him playing time and delivers. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 8.4 points and 5.2 rebounds for the Red Storm last season.Jones scored a career-high 29 points against Marquette in the Big East tournament last season.?Uche Ofoegbu, a San Francisco graduate transfer, may be more important from a scoring?sense for UNLV. But in addition to being sound offensively, Jones will help on the boards, where the Rebels lost the majority of their frontcourt rebounding with the departures of Stephen Zimmerman Jr. and Derrick Jones Jr.Jalen Harris, New Mexico LobosThe 6-foot-4 combo guard from the same North Carolina academy that John Wall once attended may not earn a starting spot for the Lobos this season. But he should have an impact.Cullen Neals decision to transfer opened up the possibility for Harris to compete for minutes as a freshman. Hes capable of playing the pace that coach Craig Neal likes to play. In fact, he could be the fastest guard on the court from baseline to baseline with the ball in his hands.New Mexico wont be relying on Harris to run the show as a freshmen. It has other experienced guards, such as Elijah Brown and Jordan Hunter, who will help Harris ease into that role. Little pressure to perform?immediately should allow Harris to be the kind of difference maker off the bench who helps win games. Eddie Giacomin Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. Ron Duguay Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. http://www.rangershockeyonlineshop.com/glenn-anderson-hockey-jersey/ . The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling "puts an end to my dreams of being a top player," the 27-year-old Troicki said in a statement.

The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead.

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos linebacker DeMarcus Ware returned to practice on a limited basis Tuesday with the plan to have him ready for the season opener against Carolina.Ware missed training camp with a back issue that kept him out of five games in 2015, but he said he feels much better than he did during Denvers 24-10 win over Carolina in the Super Bowl last February.I was probably playing at 70 percent in the Super Bowl, still trying to be a little bit effective. Now I feel like Im 94 percent, he said, referring to his jersey number. I feel great.He took part in the walkthrough and drills at the beginning of Tuesdays practice before going in to work with strength and conditioning coach Luke Richesson. Ware came back and watched the rest of practice from the sidelines.He did all the individual, all the walkthrough and then he went with Luke for about 20 minutes and worked even harder, coach Gary Kubiak said. DeMarcus is doing good, hes right on schedule to get to Carolina, which is where were trying to go. Youll see him do a little more each day.Ware is entering his 12th NFL season and third with Denver after starting his career with Dallas. He didnt miss a game in his first eight years with the Cowboys, and his 20 sacks in 2008 led the NFL. He has 134 1/2 career sacks, 17 1/2 with the Broncos.Ware didnt take part in any of Denvers offseason workouts because of his back injury.Ware said he isnt concerned about playing in the last two preseason games and that the goal is to have him at full strength for the Broncos first game on Sept. 8. He acknowledged that while he feels great, he needs to get up to game speed.You have to get out there and do it, he said. See the ball hiked by the quarterback, see the formations, see what everybody else is doing and getting that feel. I got some of that feel (Tuesday).Ware teamed with fellow linebacker Von Miller to anchor a stingy Denver defense last seaason that got better in the playoffs.dddddddddddd. The pair combined for 8 1/2 sacks in the Broncos three postseason games. Ware had two in the win over the Panthers.That was his last time on a football field until Tuesday.If we get to Carolina and hes playing, thats been the plan all along, Kubiak said. But youre not going to see him play 60 plays.Also Tuesday, quarterback Trevor Siemian didnt throw because of a sore right shoulder. Kubiak said Siemian is day to day but is still the starter for Saturdays preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.Siemian hurt his shoulder trying to tackle San Franciscos Ed Reid on an interception in Saturdays 31-24 preseason loss to the 49ers.I expect him to be there but its going to be a day-to-day process, said Kubiak, who classified Siemians injury as a bruise. Hes not used to tackling.Siemian took part in some drills early and then handed the ball off in a scrimmage but stood by while Mark Sanchez and Paxton Lynch ran passing plays.Lynch got a bulk of the reps, working with the first team and also running the scout team. He was picked off by cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and safety Darian Stewart on passes to the flat.The kids out here running the Rams offense, the Broncos offense. Its very, very difficult, Kubiak said. Thats what gives you a chance to get better. Youve got to wear a lot of hats being a young player on a team. Youve got to come here on a given day and do a lot of things.Game notes CB Aqib Talib did not practice because of illness. ... DE Derek Wolfe and LB Dekoda Watson both were excused from practice to deal with personal issues. ... Kubiak said OL Darrion Weems is in the concussion protocol but is doing well. His status for Saturday is unknown.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
