A Case In Point For KU

Jeremy Case, a 6-1, 165-pound point guard from McAlester High School in Oklahoma, ended his recruiting process early. Jayhawkslant.com provided the initial story today on the Rivals.com network. Case chose Kansas over Oklahoma.

Case aveaged 26 points and five assists a game. His coach, Jimmy Williams, told us that Case is the hardest working player on his team. "I expect him to get better in the next year," Williams said. "He is only 17 years old. He needs to get stronger. Once he does that, he is going to be quite a player for Kansas."

Case will play for Athletes First this summer. "He does a little bit of everything," Williams told us. "He can take the pullup jumper. He can dish off. he is a great passer. He has the whole package."

RivalsHoops.com did watch Case play last summer. We plan to watch him several times this spring and summer too when Athletes First competes at several major AAU events.

"He is already academically qualified," Williams told us. "He has everything going in the right direction."

Case shot 45 percent from beyond the three-point line and 58 percent from the floor, very good numbers for a guard that makes his living on the perimeter. In addition, Case knocks down his free throws at an 84 percent clip.
