One of the most exciting parts of each new season is discovering new talent that wasn't playing varsity the year before. Every season, varsity programs welcome in a new class of talent from its feeder program, the junior varsity.
Whether it's a team gaining a solid crop of depth from a JV squad that finished at or near the top of its league the year before, or a gifted sophomore or freshman is on the verge of making a name for himself, many of this year's stars will come up from the JV. But knowing who those players are is an area where I am way out of the loop.
A couple players who stood out to me when watching a JV game last year, were Matt Hart (Canisius) and Jayson Moore (St. Joe's). Each of those players were called up for the postseason. Moore has transferred to Sweet Home for his junior year. Another player moving up who grabbed my attention last season was Tyler Martin (Wilson). All three are guards with a lot of quickness and a good handle on the ball.
Coaches, parents, players, and fans of a particular program know who's got next at their school. Let us know. Use the comments section below to prognosticate who the future impact players at the varsity level will be.
