Regardless if we should be comparing him to Jimmer (at this time in his young HS career) it'd still be great if he does end up coming to Siena and if he's anywhere near Jimmer's talent level. I have my dollar & a dream attitude towards this kid. Like Upstate mentioned, did anyone know Jimmer would end up as successful as he was when Jimmer was a Soph in HS? I didn't but that's because I didn't know about him until his Jr & Sr. Let's hope that IF he does turn out to be close to Jimmer's talent, Siena is even in the running to get him. Siena wcould use a sharp shooter (with PG abilities) in 2 more yrs. I don't know I really don't get all the hype about this kid, I've seen him in the sectionals a few times he's a nice player BUT we really need to be upping our recruiting game, this kid plays C ball against D schools. Not exactly what we need there are a ton of players out there much better than JW. Jimmer played at a much higher level and was a much better player. This kid is not even close to Jimmers talent level,

Not exactly what we need there are a ton of players out there much better than JW. Actually, I know absolutely nothing about this kid. Only going by what people have been posting. Again while it might not be fair to compare him to Jummer. Upstate posted that no one knew about Jimmer when Jimmer was a Sioh. I was just going on that, that IF this kid is anywhere Jimmer it's good we're in the hunt early. He might not be any good at D1 level, but the coaches see something in him by offering a ship soooo early. So I'm placing my trust in them for what they see in him.

I understand but I can tell you as a soph people did know about Jimmer. Jimmer played on the City Rocks Elite this kid no. Give me Sterling Taplin over this kid any day of the week, Class C/D competition tells me nothing! I'm not gonna say he's not D1 talent. We just need to shoot higher.

Can't we try for both? Again I know nothing about Joel, simply going on the coaches offering a ship. They obviously see something in him.

My guess is the coaches understand the level of his high school competition, and probably put more importance into how he performs during the AAU season. I haven't seen him play, but I have seen the five freshmen play that Patsos brought in this year, and they are all definitely division 1 talents.

I figured the coaches know what they're doing, that's why I'm not as opposed to getting this kid as others appear to be.

We just need an overall upgrade of our talent. Jimmy started that and he needs to get 2 good kids at least in 14 followed by 3 in 15. Look what Ajax is doing after a year at Siena- good 13 class, real good 14 class and just a nice commit from a kid in 15. Signing northeast talent and New Yorkers - I see Siena filling both gyms in the next two years

Siena should grab Marcus Jackson 6'9" 260 from Albany Academy 2014, and possibly Ray Jerome 6'3" PG 2015. If Brian Fruscio still has a good relationship with the school.

Jackson isn't on too many radars yet, just turned 17, late bloomer. Jerome was mentioned here before, I forget which site listed him having Siena offer, I'll check.
