One of the top prospects in the 2014 basketball recruiting class will soon be making his college decision, as Huntington Prep point guard Josh Perkins has trimmed his list of finalists to Minnesota, UCLA and Gonzaga:


Frank Bi of Gold & Gopher offered this brief analysis of Perkins:

"At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Perkins is a true point guard with excellent handles and a tenacity of finding open teammates off the dribble. He’s also skilled at finishing at the rim after contact and would be a tremendous boost to the Gophers backcourt."

Huntington Prep Head Coach Rob Fulford breaks down Perkins’ game:

"“Josh is the best passing PG I have seen since I have been at Huntington,” Fulford explained. “He has a unique gift of making the perfect pass and he makes the other 4 guys on the court better.I love his ability to make his teammates better. The game has changed so much over the last 10 years, not all PG’s do that now. Josh can score and he picks his spots when needed. But, I love PGs that lead, run offense, make open shots and make other guys better. He does that at an elite level.”"
