Schoolcraft still has plenty of talent

Schoolcraft College finished the season 23-10 and won the state tourney. Schoolcraft was knocked out in the Region Tourney this season by Mott Community College in the semifinals. Head Coach Mike Brown talked to JucoJunction today about his sophomores' recruitment.

Nate Minnoy: (SO) 6-foot-4 (270) from Chicago, IL. Minnoy joined the Ocelots at the semester and never stopped. Minnoy played his freshman season at Purdue University where he averaged 10.2 ppg and 5.1 rebounds in 13 games for the Boilermakers. Nate was a 1st team All-Conference and 1st team All-Region performer this

past season.

Nate averaged 22 ppg,10.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists this season.

"Nate can play at any level. He's an impossible matchup at times. Nate really has a good basketball IQ and is extremely competitive," said Brown.

Nate took an earlier visit this season to Loyola-Illinois. This weekend he will head to

Central Michigan and then onto Western Michigan over Easter weekend.

Jon Yeazel: (SO) 6-foot-3 (180) from Ypsilanti, MI. Yeazel played in 28 games as a freshman at Central Michigan University averaging 2.3 ppg in 11 minutes of action a night.

"Jon is a total team guy, he has a bit of a awkward shot, but he can score in bunches," said

Brown. "He can play the 2-4 positions for us because he's a solid defender and very strong."

Yeazel received Honorable Mention honors this past season while averaging 13.1 ppg and 7.9 rebounds a night. Central Michigan, Stony Brook (NY), Niagara and Detroit are showing interest in him this spring.

Josh Samarco: (SO) 6-foot-1 (185) from Ypsilanti, MI. Samarco is redshirt sophomore with three years left to play. Josh will need to graduate from summer school to

move on early. He spent last season at Siena Heights College (MI) and sat out. Josh averaged 15.5 ppg this season and made 125 three pointers.

"Josh is a big time shooter and his brother Martin plays at Bowling Green," said Brown.

Josh is totally wide open in the recruiting process and would even entertain D2 schools.

Coach Brown also informed JucoJunction that he resigned from the school just this past week.
