Pretty high praise considering this program just had Keon Johnson 2 seasons ago.
Definitely HS coach.I wonder what the context is to that comment? Is it Barnes saying it, or is it his high school coach? Because if that is Barnes, he either mistakenly forgot about KJ, or this kid is off the charts from athleticism standpoint. He certainly shows a high level of athleticism on film, but not anything eye-popping that would lead me to believe we have Keon 2.0. Man, that would be awesome because he is extremely unlikely to bolt after one year like Keon, did.
Yes. Usually when a recruiting article talks about athleticism, it’s a counter to the fact that the player can’t score consistently yet Keon/Mashack/Pons. In this instance, Jefferson also seems to have a nose for creating buckets. He’s still a bit raw, but I think he’ll produce.Thats what I figured. Thanks. Still a great athlete, though.
I agree. It tends to be the saving grace when describing kids with undeveloped offensive basketball potential/skills. In addition to your above examples, guys like Cameron Tatum and Josh Richardson come to mind.Yes.

Also when that’s said about a recruit you think, “ah this kid probably has no handles”. DJ ain’t Cason Wallace with the basketball, but he’s definitely better than hopson or hubbs in that category, at this point in their careers. Obviously that’s my opinion, but I think that’s pretty evident.Yes.

Damn. I’ve always wanted some UT Jordan 1’s. If I ever have 1,000 bucks to spend on shoes, I know where it’s going.Have fun paying for them

KA-BOOM! I wanted this kid, bad. I knew he was a special athlete, that will dunk on you and hurt your feelings. Very good defensive player when he wants to play defense and playing for Barnes, he will want to play defense or we know how that story goes. Jefferson is my , for this recruiting class. My favorite that will flash, this year, but shine in year 2
He strikes me as Mashack’s younger brother. If Mashack progresses as we all hope then Jefferson shouldn’t see much pt. If Jefferson makes the rotation then Mashack is probably portal boundKA-BOOM!
