Vincennes Univ. Trailblazers (junior college in Vincennes, Indiana)
are still perfect - 13-0 and nobody's even come close
they mention DeShawn averaging 19 ppg, 8.5 rpg and with many games being blowouts he doesn't play a lot of minutes...

Our coaches are optimistic that we have a good shot at landing DD
One other local juco kid - a 7-footer from SWIC (Southwest Illinois College) Keanau Post - seen by most as a project - just verballed to Missouri - and with only two years left to play at D-I - it's possible he'd be a reserve most of that time - just as Kiel Turpin is finding..
(at juco he's averaging 9.5ppg and that's against a lot of non-DI caliber defenses...even Shang Ping put up far more impressive numbers)
Kiel as you will recall is a 7-footer from Lincoln College who was the Player of the Year and went to Florida State...
but now with 1 and a half years already spent there - he still hasn't played much and quite possibly never will.
Many of these guys (Stan Simpson included) would serve themselves way better by going to a lower level where they'd have a chance to play more, develop more, and actually have a potential to go on and play in the pros.
There is no better example than Patrick O'Bryant - who ended up not being an NBA center but he sure did well enough in college to get the chances of a lifetime.
