"As we went into the recruiting process for 2011, we had some positions that we felt like would need immediate attention," said Head Coach Jim Case. "We feel very confident that we addressed our needs and we expect these young men to all have an impact within our program."
Three of the signees came from Pelham High where they played under the tutelage of Jeff Mauldin. The JSU coaching staff feel "very blessed" that they received Letters of National Intent from three players from one of the top programs in the state.
Each member of the below recruiting class have and impressive resumes and their stats are phenomenal. I doubt they will have much trouble adapting to the college game.
Basketball [early signing period]
In the realm of men's basketball, the Gamecocks have three big early JUCO [junior college] signees and when I say big I mean it literally. All the recruits are over six feet tall, even the guard.
The first signee was 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Derik Denny, a Green Bay, Wisconsin native. Third-year head coach James Green believes that Denny should fit right in with the team because of the work ethic and maturity that he brings with him. As a freshman at Kansas City Kansas Community College [KCKCC], Denny lead the team in scoring with 12.6 points per game and made the most 3-pointers in KCKCC history, draining 108. He also managed to nab 2.3 rebounds and dish 1.0 assists per game.
Denny's coach at KCKCC, Jon Oler had this to say, "His ability to get open and get shots off really sets him apart from other guys who have played for me."
Second on the list is 6-foot-9 big man Jordan Cornelius out of Lanier High School [Jackson, Miss.], who is ranked the "No. 10 senior in Mississippi and is on the Clarion Ledger's Metro Area Top Players to watch list." Cornelius averaged nine points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game and led his Bulldogs to a 20-9 record.
"We are excited to add Jordan to our early signing class," stated Green. "He comes from one of the best high school programs in Mississippi, an d he has the character and the work ethic to be successful at this level."
