BG MBB with JUCO Transfer

BG has added their 4th transfer, getting the team up to 8 scholarship players for next season.  This young man is the #40 JUCO recruit according to jucorecruiting.com, the highest JUCO recruit to commit to the MAC to date.

His name is DaJion Humphrey.  He's 6'4" from Southfield Christian. He was a highly productive player in HS...

  •  Averaged 20.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 2.6 assists per game as a senior, while leading the Eagles to a 17-4 record
  •  Named the Associated Press Division 4 Player of the Year following his senior season
  • A two-time first team all-state selection by the Associated Press
He had a number of D1 offers, including from Kent,  and chose Holy Cross out of the offers.  He played two years there--one of them the COVID year.  In the second year, he made 5 starts and averaged 18 minutes a game.  He scored 6 PPG on 34% 3FG shooting, slightly above average in D1.

He decided to transfer to Garden City CC in Kansas.  This school has a rich athletic pedigree, including Tyreek Hill, Corey Dillon, Gene Keady, Tyler Rogers, Keith Smart and Brent Venables.

He played one year there.  He scored 17 PPG on 44% 3FG shooting. He was first-team all-conference.

One other thing...he blocks some shots, even at that height.

So here is where BG stands right now:

C:  Spurgin
F:  Agee, Felt, Towns
G:  McCombs, Thomas, Edwards and Humphrey.

Hopefully, more to come.

Welcome to the Falcon, DaJion.

My understanding is that he is moving on, possibly to play overseas.
