A kid that didn’t have two dollars to get into the inside basketball court has evolved into a lethal player at the collegiate level. JD Notae out of Covington, Georgia has always been looked over. He attended Newton High School and was teammates with NBA G-Leaguers Ashton Hagans and Isaiah Miller. Notae won player of the year in his region of Georgia High Schools but was still lightly recruited. He signed with little-known Jacksonville University over two other mid-major offers from Kennesaw State and North Carolina A&T.
Noate immediately started to prove his doubters wrong when he started putting on scoring clinics as a true freshman.
