2 Aussies join Trent Fildes in Montana

Just heard 2 ACT boys have signed letters of intent to Miles Community College joining Forestville's Trent Fildes. 6'7" Ben White and 6'5" Ben Perry will join Trent at the JuCo in what is fast becoming a tradition for US college coaches to collect Aussies on their roster.

Both Bens played for ACT in Under 16s, 18s and 20s as well as for Lake Ginninderra College in the National Schools Tournament. White, a PF has been in the leading rebounders and scorers at a number of Championships, whilst Perry is an inside outside SF and has improved dramaticly over the past few years. Both currently play for Canberra in the Waratah ABA.

Miles Community College is a JuCo or Junior College. The main differences between a JuCo and a NCAA college is that the JuCos last only for 2 years, where the NCAA institutions are 4 years. The same subjects are studied in the first two years in the American system, and JuCos have lower academic entry standards. You can transfer from a JuCo without having to stay out for a year (red shirt), once you have met the graduation standards of the college and are progressing towards a 4 year degree, something I suggest will happen to Trent.

MCC is a Division 1 NJCAA school and plays in one of the mid range conferences (Region IX). Trent was the second leading scorer there last year, with Greg Hire from WA their leading scorer and rebounder. Greg is being looked at by a number of D1 and D2 schools, and should decide in the next week or two.
