v Weber State forward Dillon Jones shoots as Brigham Young guard Trevin Knell defends during an NCAA college basketball game at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Dec. 23, 2020. Weber State’s Dillon Jones and UNC Asheville’s Drew Pember had every reason to decide they’d done enough at this level.

Now they’re back for one more season as two of the most decorated players from traditional one-bid conferences. “My goal was really never to play high-major basketball or play in a big school or have all that stuff. That was never really my goal. My goal was just to give myself the best chance to be a professional athlete. And I think that has happened since I’ve been here, so why jeopardize it?”
