Really great to hear!! Isn't this the kid who was also talking with Pitt? Yes! Good work; should be an exciting player for the Dukes. Check out these stats Check out these stats Seeing Finkelstein go on the record by hyping Jackie a bit is a very encouraging sign. So far So far We did not get Sam Thompson he committed to SEMO. Good get. Now we can close the book on PGs for a while, hopefully. I am thinking big like we got a Willie Somerset kind of player.He is going to be a star on the Bluff.Here is the big question.7 new scholarship players.WHO IS LEAVING AND WHY ARENT THE GUYS LEAVING IN Johnson is going to be great.The competition he played against was top flight competition.57 points against I like this pickup by Dambrot & staff. Love his statistics & strength. When does the roster begin to shrink? I guess time will tell. I am thinking big like we got a Willie Somerset kind of player.He is going to be a star on the Bluff.Here is the big question.7 new scholarship players.WHO IS LEAVING AND WHY ARENT THE GUYS LEAVING IN I dont think anyone here has any idea. We're 3 over, I think, could be 4, could be 2. Something has to happen eventually. Cant just keep adding to an over full roster, can you? By my count we are at scholarship limit with Kelly leaving. This supposes that the same two kids not named TDM are still paying their own way and were not given an athletic scholarship. . Also under NCAA rules TDM as a grad transfer does not count against the team scholarship limit. What is the limit now? 13 + grad players that stayed their extra year(TDM)? Check out these stats Stats look too good to be true. Hopefully between the 2 freshmen we have our starting PG. If not, then we have TDM to fall back on. I doubt we bring in a transfer PG now but never say never. Still hoping for a quality big at center. If we don't land one, we aren't in horrible shape. Still believe there might be more to come. You are correct El Presidente,we need a talented 6-9,6-10 who loves to be physical and rebounds.Tough to I really like this signing as well, especially when you factor in the competition he played against with those stats!!! I too think we are now set at PG, but I am with Stew and El P that we could still use a solid big. Iron Duke I know you like this kid's physicality and strength!! This roster is not set with any finality yet, but as the GMan and Professor say.........time will tell!!!! I bet you he has got a huge chip on his shoulders,as big as Kansas which just wasnt sure because of his I live in Columbus and I want season tickets just to see him. Great article on Jackie’s game, I am excited about this kid: Last edited by Duques102 (4/14/2021 10:04 pm) Highlights: Last edited by Duques102 (4/14/2021 10:11 pm) And he’s a lefty.

If you're big, you have to prove you can't." Speed can make up for a lack of size.
CURRENT RECORD 9 - 14 (4-6 in the A-10)

Jackie’s commitment to DU also keeps him off SBU's roster. Beating them out for a well regarded recruit right now is a fine accomplishment for the coaching staff. Well done!
I am anxious to see how Primo & Jackie fit together. They look like they will provide a real upgrade in backcourt athleticism & scoring.

Re: Duquesne Lands Jackie Johnson
I have us at 16 total. 15 not counting TDM, and 13 if there are actually 2 not on a full ride.
So I guess we are good.

Re: Duquesne Lands Jackie Johnson
height.Kansas was real serious about him but its their indecision that is a huge get for Duquesne.If Johnson
was 6-2 or 6-3 the recruiting services would have given him 4 stars perhaps 5.There is no weaknesses
to his game just the idea he is too short and he will work hard just to prove everyone wrong.

Re: Duquesne Lands Jackie Johnson
Gotta like this quote from his head coach who sees a lot of big time talent up close:
“He has had the best offensive season I’ve seen in my nine years at Hargrave,” Messinger told Phenom Hoops. “He is incredibly fast with the ball and is as efficient as you can possibly be shooting the ball. He has range that literally goes back almost to half court. He has next-level court vision as well and when teams key on him, he is able to make creative passes in traffic to open teammates. He has been invaluable to our 20-0 start, as we know night in and night out, he is going to give us close to 30 points no matter who we are playing against. Super consistent nightly.”

Re: Duquesne Lands Jackie Johnson
Here comes your 3 point shooting, this kid is lights out. Between him, Baker, and TDM/other guys we can all of a sudden be a good shooting team next year. Agree with others I think we are a strong interior player with size away from me really being excited for this team next year.
