We updated you yesterday on some of Dodge City's top sophomores. But the Conqs have more than just three sophomores on this year's team. Head Coach Brian Hobrecht talked to JucoJunction today about his other three players that are starting to take looks.
Jaray Mathews: (SO) 6-foot-4 (205) from Fort Worth, TX.

"Mathews is a very active strong three man that really hits the offensive glass," said JucoJunction staff member Bret Swanson.
Jaray averaged 11.4 ppg, 6.2 rebounds and shot 58.9% (136-231) from the floor this past season.
"Jaray led our team in steals this past season and his really a great hands on defender. He's versatile to where he can guard multiple positions on the floor," said Hobrecht.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Gardner-Webb, UT-San Antonio, Montana, East Carolina, New Orleans and Robert Morris are all calling on Jaray this spring.
Julius Perkins: (SO) 6-foot-1 (170) from Fort Worth, TX. Perkins and Mathews are former AAU teammates back in Texas.
"Julius is one of the toughest hard-nosed kids I have ever coached. He can really run a team well and excels defensively on and off the ball," said Hobrecht.
Perkins was 49-16 in two seasons at Dodge City as a player. Julius averaged 7.2 ppg and three rebounds while dishing out 164 assists. He finished his career with 304 assists.
"Julius is a proven winner," said Hobrecht.
Weber State, TX-San Antonio, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Louisiana-Lafayette and Gardner Webb are following Perkins this spring.
Brian Marks: (SO) 6-foot-9 (265) from Las Vegas, NV. The big-bodied space-eater averaged 4.1 ppg this past season. Brian shot the ball just 93 times this season from the floor.
"Brian is a great defender and really competes. He's still developing an offensive skill package," said Hobrecht.
Brian will visit Central Arkansas - this weekend (April 6-8), and Weber State - April 13-14. Tennessee-Martin and Western Illinois are also recruiting the big post player.
