Top Junior College Candidates

Top Junior College Candidates

Players better stop being in denial this is the new destination point for division-one hopefuls.  I’m witnessing more & more kids from the classes of 2013, 2014 and 2015 surfacing at area jucos.  I’ve actually been surprised by the level of play and coaching at the junior college ranks.  (We will add more names to the list soon.)

1.       Ben Coupet    6-7    WF           LM+          Chicago Simeon – “This is a route where he can improve his stock as well as learning how to play and understanding climate, and more importantly plugging in his motor/energy is a must.”

2.       Jamal Parks    6-6    WF           ----            Bloom – “Impressive athlete, haven’t seen him yet, but area scouts marvel at his potential.”

3.       Antonio Williams   5-10        PG LM+    Proviso East – “The catalyst for an emerging team            finally academically eligible, can break-down defenders and find the open-man, but late season he should have a dangerous floor game.”

4.       Evan Hines     6-3    WF           LM+          Niles West – “Often misunderstood, can be emotional at times, but does possess some talent, finding the right juco situation is a must.”

5.       Josh Thomas  6-3    F              LM+          Chicago Simeon – “The thing that has haunted him more frequently is understanding how to play, recognizing climate.  The juco route will also give him plenty of time to work on his grades.  He could be a defensive stopper.”
