all I know is that he had a great HS career and he's not very tall. the later of which is why he's not on scholarship here or anywhere else (for now). I suppose his role will be defined by how he does in practice, just like everyone else. personally I'm not expecting a whole lot from him his first year, but we'll see how he's able to adjust to playing against D1 players.

There are plenty of guys who aren't very tall that end up getting a D1 scholarship. I think a lot of people are reaching on this one. I imagine if he is a solid role player by his junior year JJ will be happy. But to imagine him coming in and being a contributor as a freshman seems unrealistic to me. Guys that can contribute at PG as a freshman don't go unrecruited.

They may not go unrecruited, but some go under-recruited. I remember this kid named Trey Freeman. He contributed as a freshman. There have been others.
