Recently talked with 2013 Eastern SG Jordan Brangers:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Jordan Brangers (Eastern) is a 6'2" 185 pound 2013 Shooting Guard, who's know for his scoring acumen. However, Jordan is looking to expand his game this coming season, " I really wanna improve on getting to the basket so it can open my shot up more." Watch out if he does, Jordan is lethal when left open and can score in bunches, which makes it clear why he compares himself to former Duke star Austin Rivers.

 

Jordan is currently being recruited the hardest by Gardner Webb and Georgia State who started recruiting him after several monster games at the Adidas May Classic, with his AAU team Hoop Dreams. He's also hearing from Eastern Kentucky, Murray State, Lipscomb and Belmont. He currently plans to visit Georgia State and Gardner Webb, and is still looking for his first offer.
