As long as UCC’s Jordan Madrid-Andrews can remember, he has dreamt of playing division one basketball. That dream has become a reality. On April 16, Madrid-Andrews signed a national letter of intent with the Chicago State Cougars to play basketball in the upcoming 2015-16 season.
The 6’7’’ forward was a focal point on a Riverhawk (19-11 overall, 10-4 south) men’s basketball team that not only qualified for the Northwest Athletic Conference tournament, but improved its previous seasons win total by 13 games.
After spending his freshmen season at Western State Colorado University, Madrid-Andrews transferred to Umpqua unsure if his goal of playing at the highest level of college basketball would become a reality.
