Sierra Linda High School's athletic 6-foot-5 senior forward Damian Mendoza has accepted an offer from Northern Arizona University for his college future. Mendoza is rated among the top overall prospects in Arizona's 2013 class.

Sierra Linda High School's talented 6-foot-5, 175-pound senior forward Damian Mendoza was one of the state's best sleeper prospects during his senior season.  While soaring under the recruiting radar as a senior prospect, Mendoza turned in a strong senior season - helping lead his high school program to a strong 27-3 overall record on the season.

After finishing off a strong high school career for himself and soaring well under the recruiting radar, Mendoza has accepted an offer from Northern Arizona head coach Jack Murphy and his hard-working basketball staff to walk on next year for the Lumberjacks, in an attempt to earn a scholarship for the future.

Mendoza, ranked as our #3 small forward among senior prospects (2013 class) in the state, is among the state’s most athletically gifted wing prospects and has a lot of promise for the future.  While he has always been rated among the top overall prospects in his class since middle school, Mendoza was a very underrated prospect with college coaches, scouts and media since he did not play for a high-profile club program.  A very gifted athlete with excellent upside, Mendoza plays well above the rim and is excellent in transition and while slashing to the basket.  He has an excellent motor as a player and thrives in the open floor.

Mendoza is a solid ball handler and passer and has a good mid-range shooting stroke, while still needing to become more consistent from three-point distance.  Mendoza still needs to add some serious size to his thin frame to maximize his potential as a player.  Once he does, he should blossom as a player.  He is a very good defender that plays the passing lanes, and also is a good shotblocker as a result of his unique athleticism.

Mendoza averaged 15 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.8 steals per/game this season for Sierra Linda HS - strong numbers for a talented team this season led by head coach Ramon Marks.

Congratulations to Mendoza and his family on this decision, as this young man is an absolute steal as a walk-on, and has the potential to develop into a serious player in the Big Sky Conference.
