Numbers don't always tell the full story. But in the case of South Central junior Jake Kitchell, they're hard to ignore.
The Satellites' 6-8 forward is averaging team-highs of 28.3 points, 16.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 5.7 blocks through his first three games. At that pace, assuming he can sustain it the entire season, Kitchell could play his way into consideration for the Indiana Junior All-Star team.
"That would be pretty awesome," he said.
"I would think he'd have a pretty good shot," said South Central coach John Steinhilber. "He played in the (IBCA's Top 100 Underclassmen Showcase) last year. That's the first step, people knowing you. With people recruiting him and the years he's had, I think he's got as good a shot as anybody. It'd be a great honor to have him even have a chance for it."
Other area players with a shot at making the team include West Side's Xavier Jones, East Chicago's Michael Harris and Wheeler's Andrew Rudakas -- all of whom play on the same AAU team as Kitchell.

South Central's Jake Kitchell has been named to the Indiana Junior All-Star team by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
The junior team will face the senior squad prior to the senior team's two-game exhibition series against the Kentucky Senior All-Stars on June 13 and 14. The date of the junior-senior game has yet to be determined, but will be held at Purdue.
"It is unbelieveable for our community and our school," Satellites coach John Steinhilber said. "This is just the start for this kind of stuff. He's a great role model and a heck of a guy to be leading our community. It's a huge honor."

This is the kind of kid we need to steal. I hope Coach makes him the #1 priority.
If this is Ted's son (is it?), what are the chances he doesn't go to IU? I mean, I would think daddy would want him there? I hope not, 'cause he sounds like a real player - perfect for our thin front line...

Nope, no relation per IndyStar blog I read this morning. I believe Ted's last name was spelled Kitchel.

One of Ted's kids played for awhile at UIndy under Coach Waltman.
Found that blog I mentioned earlier. Go down to the comments from Feb 17th and you'll see:

Kid is impressive. Id imagine his offer list will jump if he performs well in the Indiana All-Star game.
This is exactly what worries me. I honestly don't know how good of a shot we have, but if he goes out and does well, he is sure to get some offers.

Anything new on this kid?
Unfortunately, I've got nothing. However, you hope that a kid with his size is made a high priority, especially considering he was selected to be an Indiana All-Star. They don't just take chumps off the street to fill those teams.

Jake played well in the Sr vs Jr All-Star game last tuesday. Jr's were down by 16 when he came into the game in the first half with 10 minutes left, and then ran back to tie it with 3 minutes left. He gave them a spark with a couple blocks, a few big rebounds, a put back, and some hussle plays. He's got good fundamentals, is a team player, and has alot of frame to fill out yet.
He's got an offer from Oregon State right now too, and it looks like more to come. He just returned from the Oklahoma State Elite camp and is headed to the Indiana Elite camp in a few weeks.
Things could get pretty tight in a battle for him.

The fight has just begun...............go get him. ISU appears to have been the first to offer and all of the "Johnnie Come Lately's" are swarming now. Maybe he has his head on straight and will discount all of the b.s. he hears now from some especially who might view him as a "backup recruit"?
