In order to recognize and give some publicity to the talented players in and from the state, NJHoops.com will once again this season select College Players of the Week. For years we selected Players of the Month for the Newsletter and for a few years after that we selected Players of the Month on NJHoops.com. For the fourth year in a row we have decided to celebrate the NJ stars four times as often.
The NJHoops.com College Players of the week for Week 6 are for games from Monday December 11 through Sunday December 17.
New weekly winners will be announced every Monday.
