It says in this article that he sees himself starting wherever he goes. Maybe that's just something they all would say, but I don't think it's gonna happen here.

You can say that again.

I wonder why anyone cares about that?

He may be short at 6' but his shooting percentage from 3 is good. Howard or Battle would probably be the starter but he would definitely get some good PT on one of the biggest stages if he's playing well.

Malachi not returning sure throws a wrench in the mix. Unless this draft is crazy weak I think there are lot more players ahead of MR with higher shooting percentage. I remember some guy from Iowa (Roy Devyn Marble) being taken over CJ Fair and the only difference between the two players was less than a 1/2 percent from 3-point range. CJ Fair was a much better player but it did not matter.

You really think that's the reason?

What I think was in the post. It was actually 34% versus 27%. I looked it up after the post. Marble was probably a better player but I was shocked at the time.

Agreed.

More than likely (Mali leaves) he would play at least 20 minutes a game as a third guard for one of the best teams in the country, in the best league in the country... recruits itself.

I think we're in good shape here.

There is a very good reason why your post/like ratio is very one sided.

whenever I see a post from Jake on the recruiting board my heart skips a beat

Just looked this guy up, he shot 39% from 3 each of his first 2 seasons. Seems to have a knack for drawing a lot of fouls, and he's an 84% shooter career.

He is short though, which could be an issue in our defense.

He must have made the scouting reports. I have him at 33% from 3 this past season (60/180): http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/csu/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/2015-16/stats/season_stats.pdf

Getting that first visit here is a very good sign.

According to Rothstein he's visiting next Friday.

 

[SWFLCUSE]

Getting that first visit here is a very good sign.

Any chance he shuts it down after only one visit or does he want to do his due diligence before reaching a decision?

 

[MCC]

According to Rothstein he's visiting next Friday.

More important: does Rothstein see a Grant-like growth spurt shortly after committing to SU?
