Table of JUCOs Value Add; with Jamail Jones gone there is an outside possibility of a big JUCO stepping inWritten by: noreply@blogger.com (bamamarquettefan1)Marquette has recently lost some size with Aaron Durley going to TCU and Jamail Jones transferring out. This might leave open an outside chance Marquette would try to go to the JUCO ranks to attempt to get someone like Jameel McKay or even Keith Coleman. However, in general there is not a lot of value in the JUCO ranks. Of the top 100 JUCO transfers last year, only 51 had any Value Add. Certainly Buzz was masterful with JUCOs to quickly fill the void, but now that MU is deep there is not the need for a quick fix. It is certainly possible that JUCO player of the year could be a top 100 player for Mississippi like the last two were, as Jae Crowder had a 5.95% Value Add his first year to be the 69th most valuable player in the country, and then last year Pierre Jackson was actually even better with a 6.06% to come in at 49th in the country. However, only 11 incoming JUCO players were among the top 500 players last year (2.73% Value Add or higher), and only 22 were even in the top 1000 (1.31% or higher). Based on this, we are in the process of adding the JUCO's below to www.valueaddbasketball.com.

However I should add it is far harder to peg how the JUCO's stack up against each other, so their 2013 projections are likely much less accurate than for incoming freshman, transfers and of course returning players. That being said, we already have the 17th best JUCO on the board in TJ Taylor, and the only other two that seem a possibility at all are 6-foot-8 Jameel McKay and Keith Coleman, ranked 12th and 24th in projected Value Add among current JUCOs (see table above). McKay is highly sought after but could choose to come back to Milwaukee. Keith Coleman is pretty unlikely, but I mention him because at 6-foot-9 he was considered the top JUCO initially by some, but Nebraska released him from his commitment after he shot 32% from the line and apparently continually threw the ball away - so he would be a wild gamble even at 24th on the list. The order is based on the recent JUCO All-American selections averaged with the impressions of www.jucorecruiting.com, www.rivals.com and www.Scout.com.

Coleman has been largely a disappointment as a JUCO. Also I thought McKay for sure was a 2013.
I am positive he's a 2013 unless marquette knows something others don't ala DJO and can bring him in a year early which would be awesome
Yes, I also believe he is a 2013, but he is taking serious visits but apparently still keeping Marquette interest - so he wouldn't be here this coming season regardless. Thanks both for noting.
