PREP COMMITMENT
Freedom's Duggins Picks Jacksonville
Skip directly to the full story.

TAMPA - Freedom senior guard Derek Duggins has verbally committed to play basketball for Jacksonville University.
Duggins (6-foot-4) chose the Dolphins over High Point University, Florida Atlantic, Stetson and Florida Southern College. He will officially sign during a ceremony on Wednesday.
"I really liked the staff. I got to develop a relationship with them while they were recruiting me and I felt comfortable," Duggins said. "They never told me I would start right a way. What I would like to do is redshirt my first year and be there for five so I can walk out of there with an MBA degree."
Duggins, who has academically qualified to play college basketball, will leave Freedom as its best boys basketball player in the school's four-year history.
He averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds as a junior and led the Patriots to their first district championship. Freedom finished 12-12, but was defeated by Lake Wales, 59-37, during the region quarterfinals.
Freedom struggled this season and was unable to equal the previous year's success, but Duggins still averaged 18 points after being moved from guard/forward to shooting guard.
"The word that best describes him is potential. There is no telling how good he is going to be a couple of years from now because he's still growing," Freedom boys basketball coach Randy Grenon said. "There might be a time a few years down the line we're going to see him on television and we're going to wonder if this kid actually played in a Hillsborough County school because he is so good."

Jacksonville is I-A.
Yup, and with the amount of guards on our roster, I doubt he was the player Doherty was going after with our last scholarship.

It would not be an embarrassment to lose a recruit to say a D1-AA Western Kentucky as they have a rich background in D1 basketball(there football team is the only one competing at a different level)
Sorry, it's just a soap box item for me outside this forum so I needed to vent. Thanks for listening (reading)
