Jonathan Sanderson Buzz Growing Quickly
JUNE 8, 2023
BY TRAVIS GRAF
Jonathan Sanderson is one of the more talented players in the midwest that not many people know about on a national level. He's a 6'2"-6'3" point guard that still seems to be growing and has a knack for scoring the ball as well as distributing at a high level. He debuted in the MADE Hoops 2026 rankings recently and tracks as a player who could make a push for top-25 status due to his overall impact on games. Once all of the national media finds out about Sanderson, he projects as one of the hottest commodity guards in the glass. Below, he spoke with MADE Hoops' Travis Graf about his early recruitment.
Early Offers: "Starting with a few MAC's, Ohio and Toledo, and then Duquense offered. All of those happened about a month ago.
Ohio was the first one, that was a really cool experience just to get the first offer, a lot of excitement going through that.
Duquesne was literally right after, and that was really cool. I did a little studying on Duquense and it's a cool college. Then
Toledo, which I've actually been there before. It's a cool college, another MAC school, those were the first three offers that came in. Another school that offered was
Marshall, another cool college and my dad worked there a few years ago."
Iowa: "The first high major, I was so excited when I got that offer. It was just a great day when I got that one. I was actually studying while I got it. The next day everyone was asking me and it was just a great feeling. I just feel like I fit their offense and how they play. They're fast and they shoot a lot of threes, and that just fits me as a player."
Illinois: "I just got that one last night like right after dinner, just talking to Coach, man it was awesome. He told me he was going to offer me and I was so excited. They were filming me and I was like, man this is crazy what's happening. They're another team that also goes fast and uses their point guards well. They also shoot it like Iowa and I just really like both programs and can fit into both,"
Indiana: "That's a really cool university, the fan base is awesome, and the experience of going there just seems like it's really cool. I feel like they're another program where point guard is a really important role. They shoot it, they've got some pace, and I really like that."
Visits He'd Like To Take: "Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, those three I really want to go to. Another one is Kansas, I'm actually going there this fall for an unofficial."
