Based on the cherry-picked video, he's mobile, too. And a guy that size hitting threes is definitely eye-catching. I wonder what his shooting percentage was for those 19 threes.SFAXE93 said:

EDIT: Looks like he hit 49% from the field, 42% from three, and 70% from the FT stripe.
Second Team All-Great Lakes Valley Conference and GLVC All-Defensive Team.
He looks big! How many years does he have left? 2?
Yep. Looks like he's not timid around the bucket. Big presence with a nice outside shot formSFAXE93 said:
Looks bigger than 6-9
42% from 3 will really stretch the floor if we're running the sets with the big at the top of the key.

The team he played for (SW Baptist) was a solid squad last year, 21-6. Jalil was a consistent contributor. That's a good sign in my mind.
Now we need a 6'10" to help fill the roster. How many spots left?
Yes, we need one more good big man. Plus it would be really nice to some how get Calvin back.
Former Kansas State player and SFA signee Montavious Murphy tells me he has heard from Georgia, Vermont, SMU, and Auburn. Tell me that SFA is still in the picture.

Well if he picks Vermont over SFA…

"Tell me" or "Tells me"? Big difference.
And …No-look said:saw where he was ranked #38 in the early juco rankings and in the final rankings he wasn't mentioned. Wonder if he finished the year at NMJC? Didn't see his name on the roster???PurpleOut said:Dannie Smith signed, I haven't seen anything that suggests he got out of his LOI. He still has it pinned on his Twitter (although he hasn't been active since then). Verbal Commits still shows him as signed too.No-look said:
Dannie Smith?
Recruitment open!!! Looking for a school give me a chance at any level. https://t.co/upjwgURwa2

Well, that answers a few things

"a chance at any level"? Didn't we give him a chance at the D-1 level?? Just guessing, but maybe his departure was not of his own free will...
Let's just go sign Linton Brown to replace Dannie and then get 2 more big men. Hopefully we can get Monty to re-committ.
Anyone know how many spots that are actually available? Will Nigel be back?
Did Monty leave, or did we invite him to leave?Jacks1989 said:

I thought Nigel had one more of eligibility. Not sure
Monty was invited to leave..

It seemed like Hawkins was done. Maybe more the body than the will.
I was thinking that. Had some on going ailments most of the year. Wish him well either way.nacluth said:

Lol no doubt..
Keller had just praised him a bit on Twitter, then the next thing you know, he's gone. I have a pretty good idea about what must have happened... Something that Keller absolutely won't tolerate.Jacks4460 said:

I know there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes with recruiting that shouldn't be aired but seems there's not enough transparency at times…Dannie Smith for example. He's probably been off the radar for months and I was thinking he was good because of his twitter page. And Keller hasn't called me once for advice…
So is Nigel done playing or is he playing next year? Really not sure from remarks made from previous conversation. Thanks
Now, this I absolutely don't understand!No-look said:

I hope we get him next year. If for anything, a solid off the bench option. Depending on the opposition, he could get the start

Neat interview with AJ. Audio on the interviewer is somewhat sketchy but good overall.

I wouldn't be surprised if AJ is in the starting lineup when the season kicks off. He's going to be that good right out of the shute!
With Calvin for sure gone that leaves three spots to fill if my math is correct. I'm thinking we need a couple more bigs and another shooter???
Kyle Hayman one of our Juco signees out of Hinds was 2nd Team All Conference. He averaged 15.8 ppg in 25 games. What is really interesting is 2nd half of his year.
His last 10 games he averaged 19.8 ppg
His last 5 games he averaged 22.4 ppg.
In comparison, AJ Cajuste averaged 19.5 ppg this year.
Linton Brown averaged 18.4 ppg his last year at Indian River.
Kyle smoked it his last 10 games. He played at the level of a Juco All American.
