Russell Senior Jonathan VanHoose signed this afternoon with the University of Evansville.

Schools in the conference: Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Indiana State, Illinois State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, SW Missouri State, Wichita State.

 

Congratulations Jo! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

 

This should take a little pressure off of your senior season, and make things more interesting.

Congrats!!! :thumb: It is always great to see a local kid move on to the next level. It looks as if his hard work has paid off.

Congrats to Hoose. I have played against him and have seen him play numerous times. Good luck to him in the future.

Whatever happened to former Frankfort HS star Tory Robertson? I know Tory signed and played his first year at Evansville, but I haven't heard anything since.

I heard he has appeared in the Johnson Center at UK playing pickup ball.

Its not a signing period yet, is it? I assume he verbaled.

 

What is his relation to JR?

I think you are corect. I also heard that he had a verbal commitment as of today.

Congrats to one of the top shooters (if not the top?) in the state!

The kid can pull it up off the dribble!:thumb:

The 16th doesnt get too many of these, my guess is the whole state will be in single digits for 2007

He can't sign until November, so I'm sure it's a verbal committment.

 

Congrats to the kid, he's worked hard and deserves it. I think Evansville is a great choice for him, and the conference produces quality basketball teams.

This is great... isnt this the sharpshooter from EKY? Congrats J van hoose.

Great news! I coached his two older brothers. I didn't coach Jonathon and he goes D-1. That should tell you something.

Tory signed with Evansville but I don't think he ever even put on a practice uniform for them.

 

Last year he was at UK - I don't know if he is again this year or not.

Yes, Vanhoose plays at Russell. Great shooter and all around player along with being a great student & person.

Congrats:thumb:

Congrats to Jonathan!! One of the best shooters I've seen the last few years, and I love how he can shot on the move. Good luck at Evansville!!
