Just noticed this from Corey Evans mailbag a few weeks ago. He highlighted 3-4 mid major recruits who could make an immediate impact as true Freshmen and Justin Amadi was one of the 3-4 mid major recruits across the country that he mentioned.

“The new staff at James Madison found one of the more under-the-radar prospects this spring in Justin Amadi. A perfect combo forward for today’s style of play, Amadi is someone you throw out onto the floor and he gets stuff done. He steps into a relatively empty cupboard so Amadi has the chance to star immediately.”

If you watch those little interviews Byington has done, he calls Amadi one of the best athletes in the CAA.

Smallllll school player, but clearly HS teams matter very little in MBB. All about AAU.

Don’t want to rag on the kid but talking with my friend in the AAU circle, he wasn’t the best kid on his team. Friend says he wouldn’t have made his AAU squad but he knows he’s a walk-on and must be a good kid if Coach B likes him.

He has a sense of humor clearly because in his Instagram announcement he set his location as “The Bench”. Welcome aboard Hollman!!

(04-10-2020 08:36 PM)Duke It Out Wrote:  Per Shane Mettlen, Coach Byington has offers out to 2020 guards Roger McFarlane and Terell Strickland.

Edit: Terell Strickland is Rod Strickland’s son, and played at SPHS in 2018 and 2019. (Darius Banks graduated from SPHS in 2017.)

His brother, Tai Strickland, will be a redshirt sophomore for Temple next year (sat out last year after transferring from Wisconsin).

McFarlane signed with Dodge City CC (KS)

Nice one- probably was unlikely that Paul was going to follow in Matt’s footsteps at JMU but you never know. Sometimes these offers come early from the bigger schools and then depending on how the kid progresses they fade toward the end.

Delaware will need a big season out of Dylan Painter inside.

As for Flowers I think his best bet may be to go juco for a season to prove he’s healthy and can play major minutes and then he’d have a shot at playing D1 his junior and senior years.

RE: 2020 MBB Recruiting
This news really helps balance out the classes as well.

3 seniors this year... Lewis, Jacobs, Fredericks (Grad Tr)
3 juniors...Hodge, Morse, Mensah
3 sophs...Harvey, Wooden, Christmas
3 frosh...Amadi, Edwards, Strickland

TBD...Taylor (will have to sit out this upcoming year and will be a Jr in eligibility next year assuming he gets no waiver to play this year???)

Hard to get much more balanced than that.

I think Mensah May be a RSoph with 3 years of eligibility left. It was originally assumed he would have to sit a year, but now that he doesn’t he’s got this season plus two more to play. He’s originally a 4* recruit, so could be the best post JMU’s had since Bowles.
