Jarron can run the offense (and him, Jaevin or maybe Williams can bring the ball up the floor) and then we just have to hope McNeal can provide some valuable backup minutes, which seems a lot more realistic.

God how did I know this was you without even looking at the name. Do you ever give it a rest.

Dude needs his own team to coach, preferably a GCL squad nicknamed "The Heps "

He'd be an awful coach, he'd be to worried about deflections. First of all, McNeal is not a "volume" shooter. He's got 2 seasons of D1 ball under his belt, and he averaged about 6 shots in 25 minutes per game. To put that in perspective, those are Tre Scott like shooting frequencies. Second, he was a mid 30's percentage wise shooter which given a disproportionate amount of his attempts were beyond the arc did not help his stats as is often the case if a team cannot get shots (guess who has to fire at the end of the shot clock). He's a solid ft shooter in the 70's, and will not be asked to carry the scoring load. He's not being recruited as a long rang shooting guy, and he's being recruited because he's a good distributor, he's experienced with tempo, and a fairly strong defender for a pg his size. Statistics in bball can be very misleading depending on what you're surrounded with. He's here because Brannen saw him play a good deal, and know his talent from his days down in Jackson Tn.

High School: Lettered four years for head coach Damonn Fuller at South Side High School in Jackson, Tenn…. averaged 23 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals per game as a senior… named a finalist for the TSSAA Class AA Mr. Basketball award… earned a spot on the Class AA All-State Team following his senior season… averaged 20 points, four rebounds and six assists as a junior while leading South Side to the Class AA state title… earned All-District honors and All-Region honors four times… finished his career with over 1,800 points, 500 assists, 300 rebounds and 200 steals… nominated for the McDonald’s High School All-American Game as a senior.

I see that the guys who spent the last several years repeating the same negative blabber and stale attempts at jokes ("DEFLECTIONS!" Good one!) are squealing and flinging their crap against the window when skyblade . . . looks at a new recruit's stats, points out his low assist-to-turnover ratio and poor shooting percentage, and predicts that he will most likely be a solid backup. THE HORROR.
