Are you looking for timely information about junior college basketball?  Do you want to know how conference races are shaping up across the nation?  Are you interested in following the exploits of the outstanding two-year players in the nation?

Entering its 11th season of coverage,  The Juco Classic News Service provides in-depth and timely information about the world of NJCAA Division I men's basketball.

            The Juco Classic News Service Report

The foundation of the service is The Juco Classic News Service Report ($175).  Beginning in November, the report is emailed directly to subscribers on Mondays and Thursdays (with the exception of holiday periods) and daily during regional tournament action.  The final report gives a complete summary of the NJCAA Tournament following its completion in Hutchinson, Kans., in March.  Each report provides the scores of all the games during the reporting period, recaps of contests played, including statistical information on the top performers, and other notes of interest.  Complete standings for conferences and regions in Division I appear in Monday reports prior to an NJCAA Poll.  Other features included throughout the season are top upcoming match-ups, periodic statistical rankings of Division I teams, a list of NCAA early signees, a mid-year survey of individual statistical leaders, regional and conference tourney pairings, pre-season All-American, conference, and region honors, and much more.

The information in The Juco Classic News Service Report comes from many sources but primarily with direct input from NJCAA schools.  Over the past two years, the report has included on average 99.7% of the scores for each reporting period! 

Consequently, The Juco Classic News Service Report is essential for keeping current on what is happening in the world of NJCAA Division I basketball.  It is the primary tool used by the 16 voters in the weekly NJCAA poll.  Juco coaches refer to it to keep abreast of what's happening not only in their own conference or region, but around the country, and often use it to prepare for future opponents.  Four-year coaches rely on it for keeping track of how potential recruits are doing.  Instead of asking "How's your team doing?" a recruiter can now say "That was quite a game last night" and be specific.
