Like said before too, just like football and many other sports, a team doenst always look for the absolute best and amazing player, but who they think they can build off of and who will fit well in their program.. If May got 2 years or so of working on his shot, getting quicker, and getting experience, he could be a D-1 player.....


Also everyone needs to realize Highschool seasons dont mean a whole lot for basketball (Hockey is another pretty good example) for the most part. All the big name players and coaches watch summer leagues and tournaments. So dont just hate on May because you've seen maybe 1/4 of his play over the last 2 years.

So did Belhovek from Mandan, Tate Kick, and others on the ECI I think it is....I didn't see any of them getting offers from the NC State or any others close to that.
its okay.....

And I'm also pretty sure Kick was on the 3rd All Tourney team and had a game of over 40 pts i believe, so he would have gotten way more looks from D-1 coaches then May just cuz of those stats right there, IMO.

the other thing you have to think about is how good may is marketing himself for example going to a camp in north carolina

if belohlavek and kick sent out game tapes to every d1 college in the us i would bet on it that they would have both got at least 5 offers from around the country

Its just a case its not what you know its who you know from what i've read his father knows people at NC state and probably throwing him a bone thats just my guess.  I personally don't mean to knock the kid but he probably won't end up at NC state the talent level of those players is tough..I do think he could go to a mid-major and be a solid contributor after a year or two

An honest opinion on Jordan May - Low D1 / D2 talent but a DOG.  What I mean by dog is he doesn't play hard.  He plays just hard enough to get by.  I can guarantee this most D1's are gonna find somebody as talented that plays harder.  There are hundred's of Jordan May's in this country playin ball that play harder and are as talented or more talented.  It's just that he plays in a state that has very few good players and so everybody knows who he is.  As for NC State and his dad knowing somebody there.  His dad can know whoever at NC State and they will NEVER offer that kid a scholarship.  They are in the ACC - one of the top conferences in America. Do you know how hard you have to play to make it in that league.  Can you imagine the work and drive you have to have to make it there.  You are going against guys that are getting drafted to the league, night in and night out.   May would get murdered in the ACC.  May would get murdered at NDSU, no less NC State. 

Personally I think he will end up at NDSCS, after his dreams aren't met with that D1 ride that he thinks he will get, in hopes that in two years he will get another shot at it. 

If Jordan May reads this - For your own good, if you wanna play Division 1 basketball you better start playing harder and proving that you can do it, cause until then your not gonna make it.

I think hes good enough also but not going to a school who has to find players who compete against some of the best comp. in the nation...he IMO play at UND or NDSU not right away but after a redshirt season and 2 years he could contribute which is very respectable playing but even making the team at a division 1 school is something to be proud of

Recenly I had the oppurtunity to play against 2 players that were commited D-1 already.  I would have to say the only difference in skill levels between these kids and May were that, May had better ballhandling and passing, and that one of the other kids was a better shooter.  The biggest thing though is height, as both of them were over 6'5''.  I think this goes to show that a lot of players could go D-1 if they had a couple of schools in state instead of 1.

if May's ballhandling and passing is better i wouldnt be suprised if he goes D-1....coaches can always work on his shooting.  do you remember watching Aaron Miles play, the guy would barely hit the rim on a shot outside 15 feet but he was a 4 year starter at one of the best colleges in the country.  just goes to show that a kid can make it without shooting well, if he handles the ball and distributes it well enough, he can play anywhere

I thought this was pretty interesting.  Allard, Dufault, and May are all getting some props in this article.

it would be pretty sweet if Dufault went MVC.  not the top schools but definately competative when it comes to tourney time.   would be alot of fun to watch him play in the Big Dance if he gets the chance.....
