Earlier this month while on a visit to Iowa Lakes Community College, the JuCo became the first school to extend an offer to Solon senior Streeter McIlravy.
The 6-foot-2 guard is currently hearing from a host of other schools, primarily Division III and JuCo programs.
“There’s a lot of Division III schools, it would be Coe College, Briar Cliff (NAIA), Cornell, Central College and then there’s some community colleges also, like Ellsworth and I believe Kirkwood has talked to my coach about me,” said McIlravy, who mentioned playing at the highest level possible is a goal of his.
“Not that I’ve pushed off the Division III schools at all — I’ve always talked with them when they’ve contacted me — but I’m trying to get as high level as possible so the JuCos are a little more appealing right now. And Division II would be even better.”
McIlravy played in just a few tournaments at the end of the summer with Iowa Dynasty after he underwent ankle surgery right after his junior season. The surgery remedied an ankle injury he sustained the summer after his sophomore season.
Though he averaged 16.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season with the Spartans while playing on an injured ankle, he says his game was somewhat negatively impacted by the injured ankle.
“I would say it definitely hurt me last season because I couldn’t play the game exactly the way I wanted to,” he said. “But then also it was good for me because it made me do different types of stuff with my game, so it did help in a way I think.”
With his senior season quickly approaching, McIlravy says he’s excited to get back to action and play to his full potential.
“I’m 100 percent now and I’m really looking forward to my senior season,” he said. “I think just me being able to step up and play my game the way I want to play this year without that injury nagging on me — and being able to train the way that I want to train, I think it will be better than last year.”
