Day 2 of the NorCal JUCO Summer Jamboree featured California based junior college programs battling in scrimmages. Over 40 college coaches attended the two day event.
Here are some player updates:
Paris Davis 6-foot-3 G Skyline (Chabot) 2012: The 2012 high school graduate was at Fresno CC last year where he played four games before getting hurt. Davis expects to get a medical redshirt. At Chabot, he will try to hone his point guard skills to complement his aggressive and physical play.
Jelani Hardaway 6-foot-3 G Freedom (Merritt) 2012: Hardaway is bigger and stronger from a year ago as the Freedom product is trying to master the point guard role. His size and length have garnered attention from CSU Fullerton and Utah State.
Theo Hill 6-foot-5 Wing Marshall (Sequoias) 2012: Hill redshirted his first year. The San Francisco high school prospect looked good both inside and outside as he was athletic and showed a variety of scoring skills and was tough with his rebounding.
Mike Crawley 6-foot-5 Wing Antioch (Fresno City) 2011: The Antioch product is a slasher with good strength when going to the basket. He finishes well and is active on defense. He should be at least a DII find.
Sami Eleraky 7-foot-0 Post Aalborg Tekniske (City College of San Francisco) 2012: The Danish prospect is a postup player who plays physical. He originally was a Cal commit but his academics did not transfer properly even though he sported a 3.8 GPA.
Donny Wilder 6-foot-6 Wing Castlemont (Team AV) 2013: Wilder is long and thin but showed many basketball skills. He handled the ball well and could shoot from the perimeter. He needs to bulk up and decide if he will go the JUCO route.
Andre Frazier 6-foot-4 Wing Muir (Reedley) 2012: Frazier hit a few perimeter shots and displayed going to the basket. He was also fearless about rebounding. His size is a tweener but he has both the athleticism and basketball skills to add value to a program.
AJ Bridges 5-foot-10 PG Monterey Trail (Cosumnes River) 2009: Bridges is a quick point guard who is apt at attacking the rim. His lateral movement makes him an effective perimeter defender.
Greg Brown 5-foot-11 PG San Pedro (Chabot) 2009: Brown sees the floor well as a point guard and has a quick release. Per his coach, he is drawing interest from low DI programs.
Anthony Knight 6-foot-2 G El Camino (Merritt) 2012: Knight is a versatile guard who can score either by the dribble or by the perimeter. He has good size for a point guard and plays under control with good decision making.
Travonte Williams 6-foot-3 G Save (City College of San Francisco) 2011: The Alaska product is expected to make an impact for CCSF. He is an all around guard who has a versatile skill set.
Darell Pollee 6-foot-1 PG Global Youth Charter (Yuba) 2012: Pollee is quick and athletic. He takes the ball hard to the basket and is an aggressive defender.
Matt Simpkins 6-foot-9 PF Patterson (Chabot) 2008: The former John Calipari Memphis recruit has good size and strength. He is a back to the basket player. His DI eligibility requirements have expired but should be able to land at the other levels easily.
Jaycob Velasco 6-foot-7 PF Pleasant Valley (Cosumnes River) 2010: The face up power forward has good size to battle in the paint. Velasco has a good perimeter shot and passes well.
Brandon Berkovatz 6-foot-8 PF Mills (Skyline) 2012: The Mills product is a back to the basket forward. He plays tough and rebounds well. He passes and sees the floor well for an interior player.
Chris Smith 6-foot-5 Wing Center (Yuba) 2012: The Center product averaged close to 20 points last season and is a versatile scorer. Per his coach, he has 12 offers and over 20 schools interested as grades prevented him from going straight to a four year program from high school.
Darien Williams 6-foot-8 F St. John Bosco (Merritt) 2013: Williams is a versatile forward who can face up or post up. He was heavily recruited but his academics forced him to take the JUCO route. Despite that, his Merritt coach says that schools are still interested including CSU Fullerton, Portland State, UC Riverside, and Weber State.
James O'Neal 6-foot-2 G Freedom (Fresno City) 2013: O'Neal was headed for Chaminade but his standardized test scores fell short. He is a partial qualifier and plans to attend Fresno City College.
