On a foggy Friday the 13th, the NorCal Juco Summer Jamboree hosted its two day tournament at Skyline College in San Bruno. Over 30 college coaches attended the event to scout the JUCO talent. Here is a look at some of the top players.
Charles Standifer 6-foot-5 Wing Cosumnes River: Standifer was at San Francisco the past two years as he played as a freshman but redshirted as a sophomore this past year. He still has three years of eligibility but will likely use one at Cosumnes River. Standifer has a good inside and outside game as he does not fear playing in the post. He complements that with a good mid-range perimeter shot.
Quincy Smith 6-foot-0 PG City College of San Francisco: Smith was at La Jolla Prep this past season where he played an abridged season of ten games due to an ankle injury. He had a few schools who were interested in him but they shied away from giving a full scholarship due to his shortened season. Despite that, Smith looked very good in his ball handling, quickness, and ability to get to the basket. He plays very aggressive and could benefit from playing a full season, as he had to sit out his senior year at Deer Valley due to transfer issues.
James Glass 6-foot-4 SG Chabot: Glass plays above the rim with ease. He is a good leaper who has quick feet. The Southern California based Dorsey product has the frame and athleticism to be a shooting guard.
Joshua Amey 5-foot-11 PG Merritt: Amey will be going into his second year at Merritt as the point guard. Since his days at Berkeley, Amey has bulked up and can take contact better in the paint now. Per Amey, he has drawn interest from Idaho, Pepperdine, and San Francisco State.
Chuks Iroegbu 6-foot-4 Wing City College of San Francisco: Iroegbu was a redshirt at Washington State this past season. He decided to return back to Northern California as Iroegbu still has four years of college eligibility. Iroegbu looked to have improved his perimeter game and ball handling skills since his days at Franklin. He still plays physical and is not afraid of taking contact.
Devante Kerr-Hall 6-foot-3 SG Undecided: Kerr-Hall graduated from Arroyo and was at Southwestern Oregon Community College for his freshman year. He is a very good scorer either from the perimeter or taking the ball to the basket. He has a good frame for a guard.
Harold Perry 6-foot-7 F Alameda: The former Pinole product showed good athleticism and ability with his inside game. He may not have enough size to be a power forward and still needs to have a more consistent perimeter game to be a wing or small forward. But his physical attributes and basketball skills are there for him to play for a four year program.
Franky Johnson 6-foot-1 SG Napa Valley: Johnson showed good form and consistency in his three point shooting as he hit at least five three point shots in his second game. He is undersized which may cause his recruiting to depend on his ball handling and passing skills. The former Rodriguez prospect will go into his second year of JUCO play.
Kenneth Woodard 5-foot-10 PG Undecided: Woodard was a Terra Linda graduate who played at Skyline JC this past season. He has good ball handling skills and made good decisions in his passing. He also hit a few perimeter shots.
Casey Norris 6-foot-1 G Ohlone: The Newark Memorial product looks to be the starting point guard as a freshman for Ohlone. He still plays in a crafty and shifty manner. He will need to expand his passing and decision making skills to be recruited more as a point guard.
Cody Wilcox 6-foot-7 PF Sierra: Wilcox ran the floor well for a player with a big frame. He showed good footwork in the post. The Nevada Union product may still be undersized for a power forward, as he may need to expand his perimeter game.
Miguel French 6-foot-5 Wing Cosumnes River: French just graduated from Lindhurst and has good potential. He is long and lean, but can hold his ground in the paint. His long wingspan helps him be disruptive on the defensive end. He needs to develop his perimeter game to further his potential.
Rodney Cook 5-foot-11 PG Cosumnes River: The Bethel product looks to have taken the JUCO route, as he is comfortable handling the ball and driving to the paint. His toughness in his play is there but concerns may exist about his size.
Chris Read 6-foot-4 Wing Ohlone: Read still plays with the same athleticism and hustle that he did when he was with Castro Valley. He goes to the basket strong and runs the floor well. His quickness and length helps him on the defensive end as well. A more consistent perimeter shot would help improve his recruiting.
Brett Parichan 6-foot-3 SG Reedley: Parichan plays for the Fresno County JUCO Reedley. He is deceptively quick and has long arms to cause a few steals. He plays crafty with good positioning and screens to create his offense.
Jalil Eppinger 6-foot-3 SG Merritt: Eppinger returns from Stoneridge Prep in Southern California. According to him, he had an offer from a Division II program in Alabama but wanted to continue improving his game to get more Division I looks. The former Berkeley product still is a clutch and versatile scorer.
Jordan Greenwell 6-foot-5 F Undecided: Greenwell was a Hogan graduate who was with Napa Valley the past two seasons. He is deceptively quick for his size. He made some good post moves but his recruiting potential will depend on his perimeter game and ball handling.
