Hillsborough has lots more to offer
Hillsborough Community College finished the season at 19-11 and lost in the Region Semifinals to Central Florida CC. Head Coach Derrick Worrels caught JucoJunction up on his players' recruitment today.
Dijuan Harris: (FR) 5-foot-10 (170) From Charlotte, NC. Harris an academic qualifier out of high school last season. He verballed to Charlotte this week. The left-handed point guard averaged 9.5 ppg and six assists this season for the Hawks.

Ejike Hart: (SO) 6-foot-8 (235) from Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. Edwin played his freshman season at Florida CC-Jacksonville.
"Hart has a great, sleek, athletic build with no body fat at all and really relies on his quickness," said JucoJunction Staff member Bret Swanson.
Edwin took official visits already to Houston, Central Florida and South Florida. He has a visit lined up for Cleveland State in the near future.
"Edwin is the perfect four man that can really rebound out of his area," said Worrels.
Houston, Winthrop, Central Michigan, South Florida and Cleveland State have all offered a scholarship. LaSalle is also showing interest in Hart.
The 1st team All-Conference player is kind of a "tweener."
Milos Klimovic: (SO) 6-foot-6 (225) from Bosnia. Klimovic spent his freshman season at Lake Region State in Devils Lake, ND.
"The catch-shoot specialist has good size and will be a great role player at the next level," said Swanson.
Milos will be heading to Houston this weekend for a official visit. Milos was the team's leading scorer this past season and was a 2nd team All-Conference player for the Hawks. Eastern Kentucky has also shown interest in Klimovic.
Sean Morrison: (SO) 6-foot-3 (234) from St. Petersburg, FL. Morrison played first semester last year at Santa Fe CC (FL). Sean sat out this past year's fall semester at HCC to get eligible.
"Sean is the heart and soul of our club. He's very versatile for us by playing the 1/2/3 positions and he can really handle the ball well for his size," said Worrels.
The academic qualifier out of high school was a 1st team All-Conference performer this past season. Maine and Florida A&M are recruiting Sean.
Aubrey Brown: (SO) 6-foot-2 (184) from Tampa, FL. Brown is a transfer from D2 Virginia State University. Aubrey was a All-Rookie CIAA 1st teamer at VSU.
"Aubrey is the best offensive player we got. I need him to do more on the floor than any of our other players," said Worrels.
The scoring two guard has interest from Bethune-Cookman.
HCC played this season in the shadow of tragedy. Back in the first semester at a tournament in Ohio, the Hillsborough CC family lost a gentle giant in Kenie Freeman. Freeman played his freshman year at Florida CC-Jacksonville with teammate Ejike Hart.
