Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
So maybe he is pocketing that offer and seeing if he gets a better one playing at the juco. One way to look at it I guess.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
The year at the juco uses a year of eligibility...yes or no?

Think of schools like Harcum, Lackawanna, etc.
Tallahassee isn't going to be a cakewalk for Hill. They have lots of players.

I share your concern regarding hill. Roster loaded with bigger, stronger ex d1 guards.

Originally posted by boatcapt View PostI don't know how JUCO recruiting works but I find it a bit odd that a player can be on a JUCO team while at the same time having an offer from a D1...or DII for that matter. If that can happen, what would prevent a D1 program from "stockpiling" future recruits at a JUCO? Say for example that Duke had an AA caliber senior PG and a top tier Junior backup this coming year but there is a REALLY good PG coming out who want's to go to Duke. Instead of having him come in and get splinters on the bench, Duke could "encourage" him to go to a particular JUCO that just happens to run an offense/defense similar to Duke, stocked with Duke friendly coaches and other potential Duke players in the same situation as him while at the same time promising this player a scholly the following year.

Just speculating, but I wonder if the Albany offer is contingent on a successful season at Tallahassee Community College, which would involve Hill earning a starting position from among the plethora of D1 transfers that they have recruited.

I just hope it doesn't become a trend on this level.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
It will be interesting to see if it is a commit-able offer. Yahel is a fine young man and a great offensive player. The open issue for me is whether he can defend the physically stronger and bigger guards that are prevalent in d1. Imho defense was his biggest area for improvement at wl.
