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.
