Really nice assessments of Jerami's game. One thing that people aren't mentioning, besides his pedigree, I really think playing for a school like Dematha for 4 years will have a HUGE effect on how much he can contribute next year. He has been exposed to the highest level of high school hoops. Contrast that with someone like Fab who has only played organized basketball for a few years. I caught Grant on ESPN earlier in the winter. I think, given his size, he will struggle defensively but he has some offensive skills that should allow him to make some nice contributions. If he improves as much as his brother at Notre Dame, look out.
 
He'll be a solid 4 year program guy for us. I think worse case he's a more talented-forward version of Duany.
 
He is a very sleek athlete. With his ability to drive, the key will be to develop a consistent 17 footer.
 
IMO he likes to stand on the perimeter to much and let Anja do the Boards.
 
Grant appears to be a quality kid, who will put in the time to improve his game to become a great player.

Everyone is high on Coleman on other recruit, but the knock on him is that he peaked as a sophomore. He needs to do some serious conditioning work BEFORE he gets to SU. He is a real load around the basket and will give us a great low post presence which we have lacked since Arinze graduated. But his minutes will be limited by foul trouble and some of the same issues that plagued Fab his freshman year if he doesn't improve his diet and overall conditioning.
