Basketball, track and...FOOTBALL. I read that he was a pretty good WR. Maybe Holtz can borrow him. High School Sports The Magazine: Central Kansas Jawanza Poland, Wichita East senior Second in 6A long jump -Jawanza Poland appeared in the feature on three-sport athletes in the May issue. He appears in the lead for his outstanding prowess in three sports. A long, lanky receiver, a versatile forward and long jumper, Poland will play basketball for Cowley and coach Steve Eck next year.

He can't be under a basketball scholarship and walk-on in football. The other way around is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is just a GREAT ATHLETE PERIOD That is why I think he is going to excel as a 2G on offense and he has the potential to be an outstanding defender. Crater, Haynes, Robertson, and Jawanza are all capable defenders which is just one more point I can make for us having a chance to be a better team once the chemistry kicks in.

The best post defender I seen in a long time. Also I don't care for him that much but Famous is a starter for now.The thing about Juco guys is a team have to sign the ones near the top of the ranking because it thins out pretty fast. Prep school has watered down the Jucos the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He is an outstanding athlete with tremendous quickness and defensive skills. He will bring three years of eligibility to the Bulls, and we expect him to help us immediately."Poland, the No. 3 junior college shooting guard/small forward in the country, was the Kansas Jayhawk East All-Conference Freshman of the Year two seasons ago at Cowley College. He also earned honorable mention NJCAA All-Region VI accolades at Cowley. The 6-4, 195-pound guard averaged 13.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game at Cowley while hitting 76 percent from the free throw line and 38 percent from long range.After his prep ball at Wichita East High School in Kansas, Poland played one season for Cowley College, then took a redshirt season at Hutchinson (Kan.) CC, giving him three years of eligibility with the Bulls. Poland was also a high jumper and long jumper for Wichita East HS. http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=204937850 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be under a basketball scholarship and walk-on in football. The other way around is okay. I understand. Maybe Heath left out the part of him player WR, so Holtz wouldn't get any ideas. I remember when Jimy Baxter wanted to play WR for USF football, but CJL couldn't guaranty him a scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
