A 2017 prospect offered

Marshawn Cherry tweeted: "San Diego Allstars / Army Navy Forward Richard Polanco has Received  scholarship Offer from San Jose St."

He's a 6-foot-6, 210 2017 prospect. USC, San Diego, New Mexico State and Nevada have also offered thus far. Polanco averaged 13.9 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists a game this season as a sophomore.

From a December 27, 2014 article:

"...That fellow sophomore Richard Polanco of San Diego (Calif.) Army & Navy was taking the floor was an added bonus. As it turned out, Polanco ended up stealing the show.

A strong 6-foot-6 wing, Polanco went absolutely nuts from deep. He made eight three-pointers and at one point over the course of the second and third quarters he made seven straight. When he wasn't bombing threes, Polanco showed that he can handle the ball, rebound and be a crafty playmaker for others.

Obviously, he's not going to shoot the ball like that every time out, but with his size and sturdy frame, that he can shoot is a huge selling point when it comes to college coaches that will eventually have interest. Polanco isn't a high flyer, but already has a pretty good feel for how to use his body and mostly needs to eliminate a little extra flash from his game that can lead to careless turnovers. A native of the Dominican Republic, Polanco has been in the States for a few years now..."
