When 6’5 Jerrell Jamison from Wabash Valley (JC) IL verbally committed to Charlotte two weeks ago, we told you that his teammate - 6’8 Antwon Coleman from Wabash Valley (JC) IL - probably wouldn’t be too far behind. And now it looks we were right on the money, because Big Apple Sports, which is one of our best sources of information about junior college players, is reporting that Coleman has picked the 49ers. Obviously this is huge for Charlotte, because Coleman is the #3-ranked center in the junior college ranks and, as a result, it appears that he is ideally suited to step in and complement 6’8 Jr Curtis Withers and 7’0 Soph Martin Iti, who, along with 6’5 Sr Eddie Basden and 6’8 Jr E.J. Drayton, already make up one of the better front lines in college basketball. The verbal commitment by Coleman moves Charlotte’s recruiting class, which also already includes Jamison and 6’5 Mitch Mullis from Thomasville (East Davidson) NC, into a tie at #48, along with Georgetown, Stanford, and Florida State, on our list of the Top Recruiting Classes To-Date for the Class of 2005. However, even more important, the addition of Coleman should ensure that Charlotte is immediately one of the best teams in the league when they join the Atlantic-10 Conference next year.

[/b]I like the sound of that. Loading up for the A-10. #3 ranked JUCO center is impressive for Coleman.
