From his home-town paper:

Jeremy Holland, a 6-foot-8 senior for Austin High School, has committed to play basketball at Bowling Green State University.

Holland said he made his official visit to the Ohio school in late September and made his decision shortly thereafter.

"The campus is really nice. I got to attend a practice," he said. "I heard a lot of stuff about (coach) Dan Dakich. He's somebody I want to play for."

Dakich played under Bob Knight at Indiana University and held Michael Jordan to 13 points and one rebound in an IU victory over North Carolina in the 1984 East Regional semifinals in Atlanta.

"Yeah, I know about that game," Holland said, chuckling.

Holland said he chose the Falcons over Evansville, Indiana State, Southern Illinois and Wright State.

"In practice I noticed that everybody went hard," he said.

Holland plays all five positions at Austin but said he'll likely be used as a wing player at Bowling Green. He averaged 19.8 points and 9.6 rebounds last season for the 10-13 Eagles.

Nice article. We just have to keep Falconboy away from him for about 5 years.

I think DD kept Jor-dan to 9 points, and the last 4 came after DD fouled out of the game. Either way, hes a stud.

This is a very nice pick-up for BG. I wish he could play for us this year!

Sounds good...I particularly like his mentioning going hard in practice as a GOOD thing. If he's played some guard in HS at 6'-8", he's probably got some ball handling skills. We don't have much of that in our present frontcourt

This sounds to me like the "long" guy we have been looking for on the wing. So far, I feel like Coach Dakich is responding to the challenges presented to his program this summer.

Yeah, it is too bad that he can't play this year. In fact of our recruits , who is playing this year. Is Nick Wilson a HS senior this year or a Juco? And what about Erick Marshall as well?

I think all three hope to split time between their HS teams and BGSU....
