Thank you so much for great information.  I cannot disagree with any of your points or facts.  I think that JUCO Basketball coaches must have one of the most difficult jobs in the world.   There is a old saying in JUCO Basketball, "There is a story behind every JUCO basketball player."  Academics, excessive expectations by player/family, funding, social issues are just a few issues.  On the other hand, two years in the right JUCO not only gives you a great BB player for a program but in many cases a very focused individual.  Suggestion for any school interested in recruiting JUCO players, ask if the school has a "full-time academic adviser."  If not, move on to one that does. 

California JUCO's do not have scholarships for their players.  What is the reason D-III schools do not have scholarships for BB players?

Before you jump all over me for asking dumb questions, let me put the questions in context.  I support(Volunteer) at a California JUCO program that is considered one of the elite programs in the nation.  We place nearly all of our graduating sophomore players in D-1 schools, and a few in D-2 and NAIA programs.  We never have placed a student athlete in a D-III program.  We usually have yearly, 65 or more players that attempt to make our team(15 players +3 red or gray shirts).  This year we have all of our sophomores with D-1 offers.  However we have three freshman with outstanding grades(qualifiers) that are solid players but realistically will get at best offers from D-II schools.  We have 4 recent graduates in the professional ranks. 

Now the questions:
1.  Do D-III schools recruit from California JUCO's?
2.  How does D-III basketball quality measure up to D-II and NAIA programs.
3.  What would be the advantage for one of our players,  other than a scholarship, in signing with a D-III school.

Before you answer my questions...hopefully someone will...here is my website for the California JUCO http://avc-basketball-fan.com .  Let me make it clear, I have no financial interest in any of this kids.  Just want to have the widest range of options for these talented young men.  Thanks in advance for your interest.
