Big plans for undersized guard

JucoJunction had a chance to see the Chattanooga State Community College Tigers play last month in Marietta, GA at Kenn Littlefield's Southeast Jamboree. The Tigers are guided by Jay Price who is entering his sixth year in running the program. JucoJunction has recently found out that the Tigers had their second player sign a National Letter of Intent during the early period. Read in this article which Tigers player has signed on for next season.

Patrick Meyers, (SO) 5-foot-7 (150) from Augusta, GA, will be heading to the Ohio Valley Conference to play at Morehead State University next season.Meyers averaged 12.2 ppg, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds last year for the Tigers.

"I think a lot of schools might be afraid of Patricks size but I wouldn't do that. Patrick plays at such a calm pace in the game and is fearless at going into the paint or hitting a deep three pointer. Patrick is a fun player to watch play. He is the the leader of this team," said JucoJunction staff analyst Bret Swanson.

Meyers now joins teammate Phillip Jurick who signed earlier this signing period with Chattanooga for next season. Meyers had signed with Campbell University out of high school but failed to qualify academically.

JucoJunction will keep an eye on the Tigers in Region VII and their progress to their final destination of Hutchinson,KS in March for the NJCAA National Tourney. Stay tuned to JucoJunction all season long for your source in junior college basketball recruiting.
