Awesome I like this one also shot 46% overall fg and 75% ft free throw line. Only a sophomore and a solid 210 lbs.

He will have 3 years available since one Juco year won't count he was a third team Juco All American
22.5 ppg

Let's now get the pg Crawford! And a SF with 3 pt special shooter!

Go Dukes

When did he graduate high school? Did he go to the same school as Sin Carry?
Did he play at another school for a year before going to Wallace or did he get injured & redshirt there?

Maybe he went to the now defunct Notre Dame College in Ohio?

He did go to Solon High School, the same as Carey and Mike Bekelja. For the research I have been trying to do, there is not a lot of information readily available on his background. Seems very under-recruited out of high school. At face value, A player who averaged 7.5 ppg as a "freshman" at a respectable program in USF in a top 10 conferance while also shooting at very good efficiency. 46% from the field and 39% from three is very promising. This has really gone under the radar in my opinion and is a very good pickup. Hopefully, this is not like the Hugley transfer and pushes CC or Edwards or Alex Williams out.

But yeah, this roster is really starting to take shape. There should be a lot of growth from this team next year. But it is all going to ride on who is playing the Point. Need an unselfish guy who is able to really command an offense. Dinkins had his moments but he was not a true PG but rather an undersized SG. Go get that PG along with an athletic backup C and things are really looking up. Not even to mention a much improved 2nd year coach. I am excited. 

And there it is. A Trade of Edwards for Williams. Probably more upside at this point with Williams. Best of luck Max

Edwards left? When?

Not long after Williams committed to Duquesne. Giving this some more thought, It's probably not the worst scenario at the moment. Although a brutal start, Edwards did start to find his feet later in the year and was a solid piece down the stretch. Williams seems to have a pretty skillset and fit in this system. The silver-lining in my opinion is that a good amount of funds should be cleared up with this departure, Edwards took a pretty big hit on the available funds and for a player not really playing to that expectation, might've just been better to mutually part ways. Seemed like a good kid, wish him well. 

I was already on the fence about Williams, but if his entrance caused Max’s exit I’m disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, his skillset definitely fills a need and every team needs role players. A lowly recruited bench player from a similar level program doesn’t get me excited though. I feel like Max had a higher ceiling even if he didn’t come anywhere near hitting it last season.

Jimmie's age/physical maturity, experience against D-1 competition in a respected mid-major conference, 3pt shooting numbers, multiple years of eligibility, size, & All-American award at the juco level are all positive indicators.

For what it is worth, he is rated as a 3 star portal recruit with a very respectable composite value score of 69 points.

Elijah Crawford is a 36, Matus is a 51, Hugley is a 53, Chabi is a 55, Wilborn is a 63, Dinkins is a 78, & the highest rating for any player is 88. Remaining years of eligibility factors into the score.

Here's hoping Jimmie is a steal that needed a year's experience in a D-1 program to get his bearings!
