There is nothing like a good list to get people talking, so I thought I would pass this one along from JUCO Junction, a Web site that specializes in rating junior college football and basketball prospects. I was looking through the 2008 basketball list the other night and found a bunch of players with UNT/Sun Belt connections. Here is a rundown of who is on the list of 200: 38. Dynile Forbes, point guard, Douglas (AZ) Cochise C.C., committed to Louisiana-Monroe 44. Eric McKinney, power forward, Cowley County, committed to Arkansas State 50. Jeremy Barr, center, San Jacinto CC, committed to UL-Lafayette 58. Lester Ferguson, power forward, Arkansas-Fort Smith J.C., committed to UL-Lafayette. 59. Darrian McKinstry, guard, Fullerton (Calif.) C.C., committed to New Orleans. 108. Wayne Burton, power forward, Western Texas CC, committed to Arkansas-Little Rock. 123. Montarrio Haddock, guard, Supply (NC) Brunswick C.C., committed to Middle Tennessee. 125. Lashun Watson, shooting guard, Niceville (FL) Okaloosa-Walton C.C., committed to South Alabama. 151. Jimmie Sutton, center, Ocala (FL) Central Florida C.C., committed to Florida Atlantic UNT has two junior college players in what is looking more and more like a completed recruiting class who didn’t make the list -- Paris JC forward Eric Tramiel and Arkansas-Fort Smith point guard Dominique Johnson. Of the two, Tramiel seems like the bigger omission. The 6-7 power forward was a first-team NJCAA All-American. Tramiel was probably overlooked because of his size and the fact he didn’t put up huge numbers at Paris (15.9 points, 6.8 rebounds a game). One can’t ignore that Tramiel was a conference and regional MVP, though. The guy can play, no matter what the ratings say. Johnson seems to be a good fit at UNT because of his ability to handle the ball. It’s a wonder UNT managed to find a point guard with experience considering Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Josh White will be just a sophomore next season. Post your thoughts on the blog. Are you happy with the two junior college players UNT has landed thus far in recruiting? |
