Ethan Meeker to Kirkwood
Galesburg 2016 point guard Ethan Meeker was among the better guard prospects remaining on the board in the senior class. Friday afternoon he made his commitment as he will be attending Kirkwood Community College. Meeker told us why they were his choice.
“I loved every part of it when I went on a visit including all three coaches. It’s a great fit academically and basketball wise. It will put me in a position to win a national championship and move on to another great school.”
Meeker was a qualifier that we projected as a high D2 prospect, but he opted to go the JUCO route where after two years he could definitely be intriguing to low-major D1 programs. The senior was effective last summer for Quad City Elite as he moved over to playing more on the ball and proved he can do it at the next level. He has good size at 6’2” with the ability to run a team, get others involved, as well as shoot the ball from the perimeter.
He checks in as the #40 prospect in the final 2016 rankings and #11 point guard.
