It’s a long shot because he should get much more interest, but hopefully he’ll do what Maximus did and return after entering the portal. Whoever it was that said they knew one player who would be leaving, is this him?

Should clear up some $$ to offer some portal guys for next year. Assumng Dave, TG, Alex and Jimmie were all getting paid, they should have some money available.
Jimmie had a good year despite losing his game in the last month of the season. Maybe some coaches figured him out. It seemed like the GW game was a turning point for Jimmie. GW doubled and tripled him on drives to the hoop and forced a bunch of turnovers rather than kicking it out to an open teammate. He also seemed to lose the reliable 3-point shot at the same time.
For the season Jimmie made great strides at Duquesne, basically doubled his scoring avg. from his previous year at USF, and became a full-time starter at Duquesne after playing backup minutes at USF. I would think that Jimmie has much to thank Dru and Duquesne for after this season. He made the right choice to come to Duquesne. If he tries to make too big a jump in competition, he might find himself as a bench player again. So, I think he needs to be smart with his next move.

Levon I agree with your analysis. From all accounts Jimmie is a great kid and a goid teammate. I wish him all the best.

Oh wow. Wish him the best at OSU if that’s the case. Hopefully we see some guys coming in soon.
