  • BU recruit- 2014 juco- Marvin Jones

    Bradley is recruiting Marvin Jones, a 6'10", 190 lb forward who played at Highland Community College in Freeport, Illinois, and helped them to a 27-8 season, and a spot in the 2014 Junior College Nationals, where they were eliminated with a 2 point loss to eventual winner Jones County (81-79).


    He averaged 9.0 ppg, 7.9 rpg, and 1.9 blocks per game in 35 games. He shot 57.9% from the floor, and 66.9% from the FT line.

    He played his freshman season at Southwestern Illinois CC in Belleville, Illinois as a reserve. He only averaged 1.6 ppg and 1.8 rpg.

    He was originally a class of 2012 graduate of Thornton HS in Harvey, Illinois.

    He has offers from Kent State, Cal State Bakersfield, and UIC, and recruiting interest from Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois, Valparaiso, Eastern Michigan, and Loyola, in addition to Bradley.
    He has already made an official visit to SIU, and an unofficial visit to Loyola.

      Might be smaller than AT but I bet he's better. Can't be worse IMO. Haven't seen him play but I saw AT for 4 years and it would be hard to believe he's not better.

        when I watched some of the live streaming of the NJCAA Nationals - I saw and commented on Marvin Jones..


        I thought he looked a lot like XT but AT is a good comparison as well --
        He's tall with some skills but (as you can tell from his season stats, also) he's very thin, gets pushed around a ton, and averages 9 ppg/8 rpg - modest out put for a guy that big and almost exactly what XT averaged at Morgan Park.
        He doesn't pick up as many fouls and defintiely doesn't turn it over much.
