Point guard Darren Dickerson of Wilmington, N.C., is hoping that the third Division I school is a charm for him.
After spending time at both UNC-Greensboro and Old Dominion, Dickerson resurfaced at Southeast Illinois last fall.
Coach Franklin said that Baylor and Florida Atlantic are eyeballing Dickerson, who averaged 9.3 points and 5.1 assists per game for the Falcons. Florida Atlantic has offered a scholarship, but no official visits have been set up to date.
Eric Young, a 6-6 power forward, is being courted by Austin Peay and Grambling State. Young averaged 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Jermaine Burks, a 6-3 sophomore wing, will visit Eastern Kentucky from May 2-4, Franklin said. Indiana State and Oral Roberts are also in the mix with Burks.
Burks averaged 10.1 points and shot 37 percent from beyond the three point arc.
Teddy Davis, a 6-3 sophomore wing from the Tar Heel State, is getting looks from Lamar and Marshall. Davis average 10.4 points per game and shot 50 percent overall from the field.
JUCO Junction will keep you posted on the Falcon sophomores until they reach decisions this spring. Stay tuned!
