"You'll regret it"...DJ Newbill

If you follow high school basketball and especially last year, the story of the year had to be DJ Newbill 6'4" Point Guard, who graduated from Strawberry Mansion and planned to make his way to Marquette University. One problem...those plans changed to Southern Miss University. If you talk to DJ, he would tell you that it was probably the best thing that could have ever happened. He's in a position, where he is in a winning programing, starting as the key Point Guard and life couldn't be more grand then it is now.

After going 28-2 at Strawberry Mansion under Coach Stan Laws, going 1st team all state, city and public, McDonald's All American Nominee, not to mention going deep into both playoffs and being the best player in the Public League last year, he is now averaging 9.2 ppg, 1.6 asst. & 6.1 rbs. including 17 Pts. against Michael Jordan's son Marcus at UCF and a 14-5 record for the season. He is looking towards winning his conference and heading into the tournament and more awards for the year.

As you can see he's definitely on the right page and with the right work, one day...Marquette will be trying to find out why they didn't hold on to their commitment to Newbill. Definitely BIG UPS to DJ.
