Jimmy's having a good week. Penn St, Willem and cheeseburgers, can't beat it.

per Twitter: Metro_Boston (AAU Team) @metro_Boston @adamfinkelstein Willem told me he finalized his decision & wanted to bring closure. He's grateful for all the coaches that showed interest

When does Jimmy get his key to the city? Does he need it? He already has the key to our hearts.

Nice size and can shoot. I haven't seen any tape of his defense and that may determine his playing time as a freshman.

Based on what I have seen of him this will turn out to be a very important signing for our Saints. Like nearly all bigs he will have some weaknesses coming into Siena but IMO he will turn out to be very good!

Saints have a chance to be a solid 10 deep team next year.
Wright/Hymes Cole/Oliver Poole/Paige Long/Brandwijk Bisping/Silas
6 of 8 that can shoot the three. Only Silas is a bad FT shooter. Wright really more like 70% once he settled in.
That's a hell of a lot more offensive ability than we're used to. Maybe redshirt 2 of the other 3 sophs to give them more time to develop.
Wolfe needs to learn to play D and be tough and maybe some low post moves. White needs to learn offense. JO needs to learn everything except shotblocking.
If this 92nd ranked defense combines with some semblance of consistent offense, the Saints can win a lot of games in a transitioning MAAC next year.

Saints will be better next year for sure... but I wouldn't be so quick to put any freshmen into playing mix next year.. Brandwijk will be hard pressed to beat out JO and or Wolfe-- all MAAC freshmen big men usually have their biggest jump between freshmen and sophomore years.( I expect those two to make biggest jump of all players) .and Paige will have to beat out Oliver and White-- I mean I hope both do-- but until they get here--I wouldn't put either in playing group -- all the freshmen will have their hands full trying to get playing time... I do think we can press a bit more next year, since we will surely be deeper and more experienced .. but I expect competition for playing to time to be intense
