Do you or anyone know of any other schools that have interest in him?

Quite a few schools will be in Indy this weekend to watch him.

Good to hear! May the offers keep coming!

After watching some video of him he would fit very well into the CBU program. While he handled the ball often on the AAU circuit I don't see him at the one at CBU. He could play the 2,3,4 there. Not a whole lot of difference in those roles down there.

I can't believe how many Cincinnati kids are on that CBU roster?

And one kid from Northern KY. :thumb:

Coach has a lot of ties to Lasalle HS and the Cincy area. Has a good relationship with the shinning stars program. The kids car pool frequently back and forth.

Congrats JC!! Under rated player who will make a big splash this year in school ball. Surely more offers to come!

I do not think JC is underrated. I don't think his high school coach uses him in a way to get the most production out of him.

Congrats on the offers!!!

Agree, HS is such a different animal than AAU. For some reason kids tend to play at another level during AAU season. Maybe some of the HS coaches should take note.

I think that some of how kids are used depends on personnel. For instance, I played at a Division 2 school in college. I'm a 6'5" knock down shooter with a solid handle, but my change of direction and quickness isn't anything to be desired. So I couldn't check a 1, and some 2's (on that level some 2's were 6'1" and cat quick as opposed to 6'4"-6'6". Though I am only 6'5", I was the 3rd tallest player on my team. so though I played much better away from/facing the basket, I played more 4 and 5 than anything (played 2 and 3 when they went zone). I was much better in other situations, and routinely dominated my teammates in individual and open gym format where we didn't have to play within the confines of our system. Even if I wouldn't coached I may have still played the 4 (which I hated at the time). I just probably would've switched to a 4 out offense to take better advantage of my strengths instead of a 3 out 2 in for the most part.

 

In saying that. A kid may be 6'4" with a decent handle, and may can play the 1 or 2 on the AAU circuit because he has others around him bigger or not as skilled. He may have to play the 3-5 on HS because he may be the tallest on the team, and the 5th best ball handler.

I disagree with your last statement. To play on a shoe circuit, you can't have just a decent handle. If you're playing on something like that TYBA nonsense then you can get away with it.

 

No PG on EYBL, UAA or Adidas Gauntlet has just a "decent" handle.

I would say during AAU you are on a team with individuals that are picked for certain roles and certain positions. I feel in HS kids may play out of their normal position because their team may lack that certain role. I know you said college, but using you for an example. You were forced to play the 4/5 due to being the 3rd tallest on the team when that was your not your normal position. Had you had a 6'7+ kid playing he 5 it would have pushed you more into a shooting role which you were better at.

 

I think in AAU (or any league mentioned below) kids play more of the role they will want to play in college. Just my thoughts.

Didn't know you meant a shoe circuit specifically. You said AAU, so that's a broad statement. Most kids in AAU aren't good enough to play on shoe circuits. Understand your point now.

Agreed.

Saw where he was heading to Lee for a visit. That's the third school in the Gulf South Conference that has shown interest in him.
