Plenty of guys start in the Ivy League and end playing well in the P5

Watch Michigan right now for an example of that

 

[Alsacs]

You just might want to actually see him play now before you make that judgment. I have no idea how good he is but the wisdom about Boeheims hoop ability on this board has been a bit off.

I watched his game on YouTube.
He is smart and moving without the ball getting to spots.

I watched him against DePaul.
They put an athlete on him and he had a really hard time.

JB deserves to have him on the team. He shouldn’t be a starter though.

I don’t know much about Cornell - but was he their best player? If he came here he probably wouldn’t draw as much attention defensively like he did at Cornell

He has two years.

I think Jimmy only has one year of eligibility. He has already played 3 years. If, for example, Marek has opted out this year, he would get one more year, not two.

How many years does Buddy have left? jimmy didn't opt out. The school opted out. Buddy can play two more years. that would be 5. Using your Marek example, Marek could come back next year and play his 5th year. I believe the same would hold true for Jimmy. He can play 5 years as well.

Jackson has two. He has played two and this year does not count against his four years of eligibility

 

[Alsacs]

I would say he is probably their best player.
I don’t think he is better Woody or Bobby though.

I know. I said that because it is questioned whether Jimmy has one year or two. Jimmy has played 3 years. His school and league cancelled the games this year. Not Jimmy. He should have two years. but with the NCAA, nothing would surprise me.

I will take a wait and see.

 

[jdubs30]

I would think at the very least his skill set is more well rebounded than Braswell? Braswell was good in the zone, but couldn’t do much else.

Agree about Woody

 

[CousCuse]

He will behave like a grown up.

 

[two3zone]

Who said he was starting?

Come on bud.

 

[Newhouser]

I think he's better than Braswell, and none of us really know what Woody is at this point. At this point a scorer, who knows how to play and is good from the line...worth a look. If he gets 40 minutes a night, I will revisit my thought.

I got no problem at all with Jimmy coming here but let’s call it what it is giving back to the HC who deserves it.

Which is fine but he should be a backup.

Again, why do you assume he will start?

He 100% has two years left.

Braswell is a better player IMO but it’s not a big difference.
Again JB deserves it. This is about him.

Im with you. I think at most he should get 15-20mpg .. definitely not a starter

Maybe somebody else can check the rules for us, but theoretically, Jimmy could have transferred anywhere this year, gotten an automatic waiver and played this year. If he had, this year would not have counted against his four and he could play next year at wherever he theoretically transferred or SU.

 

[Alsacs]

Again, why do you assume he will start?

If Marek doesn’t come back until we bring in another forward I will assume he will.
As I expect Quincy, Alan, with Bobby and woody to leave.

OK. Agree to disagree.

I just don't think you can assume all that. All those players may leave, and I still don't think you can assume he will start.

 

[Alsacs]

He can start but shouldn’t play 25+ MPG if we want to actually be a good team.

We need more athletes.
Replacing Quincy with Benny is more athleticism.
We need to replace Alan with more athleticism.

Have a feeling Jimmy Jr will work his butt off to make his dad look good, as Buddy has.

Fanbase has to give JB the benefit of the doubt on this stuff when it comes to family.
He played Buddy a lot thru his cold spells. Buddy is an ACC level player.

Jimmy coming in is fine. JB deserves to his own the last dance. It’s just unless Jimmy has improved a lot he shouldn’t be playing a lot here.
