Title: I F-ING forgot ! There are good jucos still out there !
Post by: opcat on March 24, 2006, 09:47:50 PM

If D.Kent or Yearby leave then we might even get a juco PG !!!! If one is out there.

Take Bennet  but then what position do you want to fill ?  SG ,PG ? Another PF ?

I follow region 1 [furthest west region for NJCAA, but excludes Cali] JuCo hoops pretty closely.

From what I've heard, the JuCo ranks, all around the country not just western ones, are getting killed by the rule changes that now favor the college prep high schools.  Most of the hot talent that used to go the JuCo route are now going the prep school route for a season to polish both their game and academics before starting their college eligibility clock.  I expect BH will focus more on these sources of talent instead of JuCos.

I live in Hutch & went to the JUCO tourney last night.  The first couple of teams didn't impress me much, but Tallahassee has some STUDS.  And one or two of them were dead-eye 3-shooters.  Of course what we REALLY need are big guys down low.  We're stocked with guards.

I went to the NJCAA also and there is still some talent out there.  Not as many big guys but lots of 6-7, 6-8 athletes.  Coffeyville's Anthony Slack is a 6-7 athlete that can board and Western Mississippi had a 6-8 guy that could move and played the 3.  Also the team from Arizona had a 6-7 guy that could fly that was from Africa.  Tons and tons of tweener talent but not really and pure big guys.  All we really need is rebounding and defense though and I definately think a guy like Slack or the Miss. guy could fill that role.  We also need a PG BAD!
