JUCO Junction/Rivalshoops.com had the chance to catch up with Logan Asst. Coach Brent Baker at Meramec, and he said that several Division I schools have expressed an interest in Watts.
Specifically, Maine, Indiana State and Northern Illinois have been on Watts the strongest this fall.
Watts, who has a pepperpot type of build, loves to shoot the short pull-up jumper. He's economical with the ball when he's not on the offensive, meaning that he will dish to an open teammate if he's not looking for his own opportunity.
Watts needs to do a better job of getting back on defense, but he seems to have a little more giddy in his step when Logan is on the offensive side of the court.
