Matadors Back Home to Host UC Davis, UC Irvine

Aaron Parks Looks to Make His Mark in His Final Season with CSUN

Over his three seasons at the helm of the CSUN Men’s Basketball team, head coach Reggie Theus has often leaned to a specific member of his team to provide energy, hustle and hard-nosed play. Despite playing alongside some of the all-time greats in Matador history including Josh Greene (2010-14), Stephan Hicks (2011-15), Stephen Maxwell (2011-15) and Tre Hale-Edmerson (2012-16), guard Aaron Parks has managed to somehow stand out among the rest.
