from Ball State…
In the wake of a new basketball season, amid the COVID-19. Indianapolis IN native Jarron Coleman maintains his focus to make his dream a reality. That’s the opportunity to play professional on the next level in the NBA. If you don’t recall his name of silky style play.
We call him by another name, “Boogie”. His game is something special that you have to witness with his 6’6″ frame and long wingspan.
Indiana Basketball, Pike Elite, Lincoln Basketball, 2018 Prep Ball Stars, 2018 IBCA/Subway Senior All State, 1000 points scored at Cathedral High School, on the cover of Hoosier Basketball, Indy Heat Gym Rats and this is just a few leagues in which Jarron took part in.
Learning the game at an early age was put on him by his father Jarron Coleman Sr. His father an athlete back in the day but nothing compares to the amount of work, training and getting good food nutrients that Boogie has maintained.
Playing for the Cathedral Irish which is a Catholic School, located on the Northeast Side of Indy. Coleman’s stat sticks out like a sore thumb. Was ranked the No. 7 player in the state of Indiana 2018 Class. He also Guided Cathedral to a City Tournament Championship.
The numbers speak for themselves earning Indiana recognition while averaging 17.2 points, 4.1 assist and 2.5 steals as a senior.
I had an opportunity to watch Boogie play in high school and at Ball State his Freshman year. A slasher that can create his own shot. He can beat you off the dribble. He can post you up with his long 6’6” frame and he knows what to do with the basketball once it’s in his hands. Becoming a consistent scorer is a norm for Coleman but he understands to use that against tough opponents.
By redshirting his very first year of playing college basketball (Ball State) was a mind set at first but then realizing the importance of getting stronger and understanding the tough physical play at the College level. Coming back into the program the next year gave more insight on how the game is to be played.
2020 Mac Freshman of the Year for the Ball State Cardinals. Played in 44 games that year averaging 10.6 points, 4.9 rebs with .373 behind the 3-point line.
Now there was some ups and downs as this journey continues for Boogie, but nothing that would keep his mind off basketball. When he broke his foot in practice. He thought about everything he worked hard for, thought about his siblings, father and mom. At this point the motivation was the key factor in bouncing back with a vengeance to prove himself once again.
I had a chance to speak with Jarron Coleman during this summer and he assured me that this season would be a special one. He’s feeling healthy and now with the transfer to MIZZOU.
The Sec is something Boogie dreamed about playing in against the tough team’s night in and night out. One thing is certain the “MIZZOU” Basketball team will have a legitimate scorer in Jarron “Boogie” Coleman
