College Court Report 2017-18 Preseason Awards: Horizon League--College Court Report
OaklandEx-Oakland hoops star Kay Felder joins Bulls--Detroit News
With Valpo star Alec Peters no longer exerting his dominance in the Horizon League, the door is wide open for Oakland and Greg Kampe to storm through as a contender once again in the league, and could win it outright. Kampe brings back a rock star lineup of seniors in Martez Walker, Jalen Hayes and Nick Daniels which all played major roles last season and now have the experience to run the show in the Horizon.
Factor in the presence of Illinois transfer Kendrick Nunn, and you could easily make the case for the Golden Grizzlies as a Horizon League favorite and Cinderella darling in the making. The shoe absolutely fits.

Tarkus Ferguson is one of several talented sophomores on the 2017-18 roster for the UIC Flames, and he will look to lead them to a conference title.
Tarkus Ferguson – UIC Flames
2016-17 Stats: 11.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.9 apg, 1.4 spg, 0.6 bpg; 40.1% FG, 78.3% FT
The UIC Flames have arguably the deepest roster in the Horizon League this season, and they have youth on their side. Five of their top six returning scorers are all sophomores in 2017-18, which means they could still get better with time. Leading the way on the back end is guard Tarkus Ferguson, who stuffed the stat sheet almost every game as a freshman.
Ferguson averaged 11.2 points per game, which was good for the third-best mark on the team last season, and tops among all UIC guards. He also averaged a team-high 4.9 assists, and added 5.3 rebounds for good measure. He had 17 performances in which he recorded at least 10 points, three rebounds, and three assists over the course of the year.
The one knock on Ferguson’s game was his ball security. He averaged over three turnovers a game, and had three or more turnovers in 22 games. If he can limit the amount of turnovers he coughs up on a nightly basis, his personal statistics will improve considerably, along with his teammates. Regardless, Ferguson’s ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor is impressive. Look for him to continue to stuff the stat sheet this season.
