Stephen F. Austin Adds JUCO Quartet

After falling just one game short of an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003, Stephen F. Austin is looking to reload this spring via the JUCO ranks.

JUCO Junction takes a look at three of the the four spring junior college signees headed to Nacogdoches, Tex., next fall, in this report.

In addition to Western Nebraska's Roberto Segantim (profiled elsewhere in an article on this site), the Lumberjacks have inked 6-8 Henry Rivers of Southeast C.C. in Beatrice, Neb.; 5-10 point guard Leonard Brown of Jacksonville J.C. in Jacksonville, Tex; and 6-0 point guard Tim Simon of Navarro J.C. in Corsicana, Tex.

Rivers averaged 13.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game as a sophomore, earning all-conference, all-region and Region 9 All-Tournament team honors.

His signing is chronicled here at the official SFA athletic website.

Brown averaged 10.2 points and 6.5 assists per game for Jacksonville, earning honorable mention All-Region honors.

This will be the second time around for Simon at Stephen F. Austin. He attended the Southland Conference school as a freshman in 2001-2002 before bouncing to Navarro for his sophomore season.

He averaged seven points and 7.3 assists per game at Navarro in 2002-2003.

Brown and Simon's signings were announced by the school at this link.

All four junior college transfers will have two years of eligibility remaining at SFA.
