David Matthews, the president of Colorado Chaos, said Scott has been hearing from — among others — CU, Oklahoma, Boston College, Wake Forest, Virginia, Nebraska, Utah, Xavier, Creighton, Colorado State, Fresno State, New Mexico State, Wyoming, Portland, Drake and San Diego.
Get the best players, win games, and that will help recruiting in the long run. Where they come from is much less important than winning and packing Coors Event Center.
:lol: i paniced for a minute i thought josh scott decomitted haha
Do you think the coaches had him in mind when recruiting Josh?
Jordan Scott is a good player. Defensively, he looks like a game changer. Before ESPN updated their format, i believe he was ranked the 27th or so SF in the class. They gave him a strong scouting report as well. I'd be surprised if CU doesn't make a strong push for him as 2013 gets closer...
The main weakness I hear about him is his handle. Any idea how that's coming along? It sounds like right now he'd be an undersized 4 who provides great D but is a bit of a liability on offense (I'm thinking Renaldo Balkman without the constant high). Does that sound accurate to you?
I think you've got it pretty accurate. I wouldn't say a liability as much as a guy that could improve that part of the game (ball handling). After talking to a few people and seeing him a little bit, his jumpshot is now high percentage and is his offense is improving. There is a slight difference in evaluating the now junior class guys to the seniors, because rarely do you find guys that young who don't have something to improve on. And if you do, they are going to Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA... But his defense is as good as it gets for his age, and at his size he is extremely versatile. I think its just a matter of what direction CTB wants to go with his remaining scholarships and how well he thinks Scott would fit into his system.
All reports on various sites (Hoopstracker etc) of him having a CU offer are false. Nice player, but he is not a #1 option.
Source?
not to be an ass but we heard the same things about his brother from some of our members.. cough, cough dymeduke...
As a sophomore, those things were not out of bounds about Josh. Hopefully Jordan makes the same sort of strides over the next year.

Jordan Scott taking his time
One of the more underrated teams at the Tournament of Champions last weekend was the Colorado Chaos. Despite having two high-major commits in Josh Scott (Colorado) and Kaileb Rodriguez (California), not many people knew about this team.
A player who made people take notice was Jordan Scott. A 6-foot-5 forward, Scott knows how to finish around the rim and plays well in transition. He is also a very good defender and can guard multiple positions.
For now, the Lewis-Palmer (Colo.) product is hearing from Colorado, Air Force, Denver and Arizona.
“I want to make a decision during my senior season,” the 2013 prospect said. “I’m taking my time.”
