  • A couple available JuCo guards

    JucoJuntion has articles today about a couple of available quality guards.

    Steven Neal is a talented 6'5" wing guard that Jim Les recruited when he played at Patrick Henry high school in Minneapolis. He graduated in 2004. He chose Wyoming over Bradley, but did not qualify. Wyoming agreed to honor their offer after he went to junior college. But now that he has finished at juco powerhouse College of Southern Idaho, they have decided to part ways. Here is the article but is a subscription article.


    Here is what his coach told Jucojunction-
    "They mutually kind of backed away," said CSI assistant coach Steve Gosar. "He just got kind of tired of waiting on the situation."

    The 6-foot-5 Neal was CSI's fourth-leading scorer at 9.2 points per game, on a team that will end up with eight Division One signees. Neal also grabbed 5.3 rebounds per game.

    "I've gotten calls from Montana, Portland State, Murray State, UNC-Wilmington," Gosar said. "Coach (Barrett) Peery is out of the office, but he may have gotten a few more calls
    .


    Here is his Scout profile from 2004. He was a 3 star recruit--

    It would be nice to see this kid at Bradley.

    The other kid available is a good shooting point guard named E.J. Maul from Black Hawk College in Moline.

    Subscription article--


    His coach says--
    "I am really surprised," Noble said. "He is a high quality point guard, a great kid, no issues off the basketball court and he has no offers on the table that I know about."

    "He will be beating these guys that are turning him away."

    "He is a true point who can score when he needs to," Noble said. "He averaged 17 points per game for his career, shot 42% from the three-point line and 85% from the line
    ."


    He sounds a little like another Will Franklin type. Here are a couple links--

    I notice Felix Thurman from St. Anne team that went to state a few years ago is on that team also. didn't look like he did much this year.
    also another shooting guard from Indy with a 20 pt avg. in Gilbert. Is he going anywhere?

        Felix Thurman was just a freshman. He is listed as a 6'5" Center.


        Jeremy Gilbert was a soph, and lead the team with a 20.2 scoring average. But his 3 point shooting left a little to be desired, 42/166 for 25.3%.
        He is from Indianapolis Arlington high school and must be somewhat of a late developer. He did not show up on any recruiting sites back in 2003 or 2004, and appears to have not been recruited much. Even now, despite leading Black Hawk in scoring with that 20.2 average, he doesn't show up on any recruiting sites that I can find.

          Felix Thurman was 19 or 20 as a high school senior...so if we got him now he would be physically much more mature...plus what kind of a down grade would that be going from 7' NBA draft pick in the middle to a 6' 5" older Sophomore

            how come in today's paper coach les states, ..."were done and content" when asked about adding more recruits.there are only 13 schloarships and they are all taken. what are we talking about, '07 or '08 recruits?

              These guys I posted about are 2006 recruits. The other player mentioned, Felix Thurman, is a class of 2007.

              Coach Les is correct, Bradley is currently at their scholarship limit and is not trying to sign anyone else right now. But things can change. At least 1 scholarship has a chance of opening up if Patrick O'Bryant decides to leave school for the NBA.
