Message: [QUOTE="Mareiniss, post: 3691035, member: 714"] I'm rooting for Jesse to be successful. He has a lot of potential, but people forget that he was pretty inexperienced when he arrived in the US from the Netherlands midway through his final year in HS. At that point, he enrolled at IMG Academy, but IIRC, he didn't play on their top team. So he was pretty raw when he arrived at SU last year. And this year, his development has been especially hindered by the pandemic. He was stuck in the Netherlands for much of the summer, and he had to quarantine for 2 weeks when he finally got back to the US. And once the season started, practices have been limited by more COVID problems. I think he's coming along pretty well, given all of those disadvantages. [/QUOTE]
