Unsigned Senior Alert: Josh Raiford
Attention JUCO programs looking for a big!!! Josh Raiford is a player that is still unsigned and uncommitted at 6’7 with a solid frame you can see some of the potential in him without a doubt. He’s an old school player that doesn’t mind playing inside or with his back to the basket although he still improving he would be a nice pickup for a JC program where he can continue to develop over the next two years.
Q: These days we see a lot of bigs that are stretch forwards and centers, shoot a lot of threes and don’t like to play inside. However you seem to be the opposite of that, more like an old school back to the basket player. Is that something that comes naturally for you?
Josh: That’s the way I was taught to play the game, you’re big so pay like a big, use your height.

Josh: Playing against some of the best players I have seen play , I just learned that I have to keep pushing hard, I know the next level is going to be even harder.
Q: What are you looking for as far your decision in picking a school?
Josh: Really just the athletic scholarship status, I just wanted a full scholarship somewhere. I have been getting a lot of calls lately so I feel like I’m going to get one sometime soon.
Q: Any things you do in particular on game days?
Josh: Not really just keep my mind focused, listen to some music just kind of stay to myself and get ready to play.
