Athlete of the Week: Baldwinsville’s J.J. Starling

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Our latest Byrne Dairy and Deli NewsChannel 9 Athlete of the Week has become a household name in the high school basketball ranks. And he’s just in the 1…

So, he never mentioned his first name, did he? Clarice, best guess

 

[Janner]

He’s supposedly one of the best shooters in his class.

IF we somehow didn’t get Westry, then JJ would be an amazing get for us.

Seems highly unlikely he’d be a 3rd guard in that class, understandably so.

Also - IF he gets a UNC offer - he gone

I wouldn't mind if we also took a look at Roddy Gayle, good thing there's lots of quality talent in this class

This might seem like a weird question but should it not be the coach making the offer to Starling rather than the media?

I mean if that is the direction we are going then maybe fans can be a proxy too.

I'm assuming that these kids get so much recruiting mail, that he probably hasn't opened the letter from Alabama yet.

I think I might make the trip too. Damien Call from RFA is really good and I haven’t watched any high school hoops this year

Kids got the goods

I was there. His jumper is gorgeous. He'll be an elite shooter by the time he's in college

Whoa, he’s a sophomore shooting like that.

This is spot on. I’ve seen several of his games, including today’s when he scored a 31 points despite being a focus of the defense. The kid has Goodine-like athleticism and is a good ball handler and accurate mid-range and 3-point shooter. I’ve seen him hit several buzzer beaters, as well, so he is good under pressure.

His second half was very impressive. Easily could have went for 40 if he wanted to. I hope we pull this one off

Adrian Autry was sitting with Ryan Blackwell in press row, watching the game today.

I was there I well.

His passing and feel are great too.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Him going to SU would be a real coup, from what I understand.
Not sure how it plays with Dior coming.
Would love to see a really high rated local kid stay home.

 

[Mareiniss]

... Not sure how it plays with Dior coming. ...

Dior is a PG, whereas I think JJ will probably be a 2 guard. He certainly shoots well enough to be a 2.

 

[Cuse1055]

Didn’t some one once say that Dior and JJ don’t get along?

 

[Newhouser]

I think I might make the trip too. Damien Call from RFA is really good and I haven’t watched any high school hoops this year

Where is Call playing next year? I know he isn't a D1 guy but he has some panache - great leaper, can shoot it...

Yes, Dior and J.J. have gone back and forth on social media in a non jokingly way multiple times. I believe they built up the majority of their dislike for each other from a City Rocks Top 24 New York camp. There is a video on youtube of them playing each other, where Dior embarrassed him to be honest. I will see if I can find it.
