The point guard is coming, Steve Cleveland said, but for right now the Fresno State men's basketball coach has signed 6-foot-7 power forward Brian Seals -- a player the coach hopes will add energy and aggressive defense.

"He brings a dimension we don't have and that's someone who loves to guard and rebound," Cleveland said. "He doesn't know how to play other than hard."

Seals played his two previous seasons at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds in 12 games before injuring ligaments in his ankle. As a freshman, he averaged seven points and 10 rebounds per game.

Cleveland said Seals sat out the entire season because Seals wanted his ankle to strengthen. Seals has been playing against the other Bulldogs during summer school, however, and Cleveland said "they love his energy."

The Bulldogs lacked a consistently effective defensive post presence last season and Cleveland hopes Seals can provide that. Seals is 210 pounds so he'll mostly front the posting player to deny him the ball, but he has banged often with Bulldogs center Brandon Webster (6-10, 250) in recent weeks.

"He has the potential to be the best defender on our team," Cleveland said.

Former Bulldogs guard and current graduate manager Ajay Riding has played against Seals this summer and agreed with Cleveland on Seals' high energy and intense defense.

"He's all over the floor," Riding said. "When he's out there, you know he's out there. He's not hanging out, he's in there rebounding. He's around the ball."

Challenges have mounted against the Bulldogs this summer from scholarship cuts to a player defection. Cleveland said he wants to add one more post player and hopes to sign a point guard in the coming weeks to make up for the loss of Reggie Moore, an incoming freshman who in May asked for his release from his letter of intent.

"We have a nucleus here that we feel can build something this community can be excited about as we get through the next year or two," Cleveland said. "I know that's an interesting thing to say when we have eight or nine scholarships, when you have every challenge imaginable, but I believe in these guys. They're going to continue to get better because they have work ethic."
