A Jordan Coleman update

Freshman backcourter Jordan Coleman left Hawaii back in December 2010 in search of a new opportunity.

We were recently in contact with Marvin Lea, an assistant coach at Westwind Prep in Phoenix and whose club basketball team (Eleate Sports) Coleman was a member of while in high school, for an update.

A former star at Pepperdine and Martin Luther King High in Riverside (CA), Lea said that Coleman was contacted by a number of D-1 and D-2 schools, plus junior colleges, after departing from the islands.

But the 6-foot-4 guard has decided to attend Southwestern Illinois College for a year. The SWIC program is headed by Jay Harrington, who has chalked up 700+ victories over 32 years of coaching. He is also Southwestern Illinois' athletic director. It's located in Belleview, IL, about 20 minutes east of St. Louis.

The Blue Storm just finished a 20-9, 10-6 season as a member of the Great Rivers Athletic Conference.
