Point Guard Jonathan Jean Talks Florida Gulf Coast And Recruitment
Florida Gulf Coast point guard Brett Comer is months away from embarking on his final season with the Eagles. With that in mind, FGCU is looking for the right point guard in the class of 2015. High on their radar is 5-foot-11 Jonathan Jean.
"They like how I'm a leader and a floor general," Jean said of Florida Gulf Coast.
The floor general plays for East Bay High School, located in Gibsonton, Fla. In his junior campaign, Jean averaged 16 points, 6.5 assists, and 2.6 assists per game. During the grassroots season, the Eagles target dons the Nike Team Florida uniform.
"This spring for us was kind of rough. We started off pretty good and then we ended on a bad note," Jean said of their EYBL season.
He still showcased his talent among the best of his age, including 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals against Team CP3 at Session 1. FGCU head coach Joe Dooley was present at the event located in Sacramento.
Jean is familiar with the Eagles after visiting 'Dunk City After Dark' last October.
"I really liked it. It was fun. It seemed like the student section there is really part of the team," Jean said. "I also went to the game against Mercer and that game was really fun."
As for his recruitment, Jean said FGCU and Saint Joseph's are going after him the hardest.
"West Virginia was also on me really hard, but they got a point guard that committed there. I've been talking to Tennessee and Jacksonville," Jean said.
He is holding off on official visits until college is in session.
"I want to go to schools when it's in session when everyone is there and I can meet the team," Jean said."
With his decision planned for around September or November, the 5-foot-11 point guard is focusing on his game.
"Shooting off the dribble, that's something I need to work on," said Jean, who will be attending USF's team camp with East Bay High School.
