What a bargain we got when Scoop and Rick Jackson decided to come to Cuse from Neumann Goretti in Philly. It's the blend of 4 year (5 for Scoop) players and the infusion of kids who are several and done that have made this team what it is. Scoop is like Andy Rautins was in that both are entirely commited to becoming the best players they can be and are willing to make sacrifices for the benefit of the team. When you look back at some of the players who come through here prior to Scoop who although they were highly rated in no way made the type of contributions that Scoop and Rick did for our program.
 
Scoop has taken his share of criticism over the years and there have been many who derided both his character and ablility. Time has proven those people wrong. Although Scoop  didn't arrive among fanfare and critical praise from scouts and the rankings services he is exemplary of the type of player that makes a program stable, competitive and a winner. His positive attitude and continual striving toward becoming a better player and helping the team is the type of infectious personality that glues a team together. He will be remembered by me as being worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Sherm, Pearl, and other Cuse greats who made major contributions to the program and gave their all every time they laced them up for the Orange.
