Was that pre or post blown knee?

Jeez, that kid's had a rough go his first two years playing football. Maybe he's better on the basketball court.

Post injury…

On MJ's radar:

Rashad James 6-3 SG - White Plains, NY

"James, a White Plains senior, is the best dunker I’ve ever seen at the high school level. The video should convince you of it, too."

Footage

video looks good. His high flying dunks could add a lot of excitement and bring in more fans to the Burrow. Just like they said in the video, he needs to stay disciplined about it.

Why hasn't he signed with any colleges yet this late in the year or will he be going into his senior year the fall?

I agree with Illinois. If he does sign here once the casual fan gets word that we have a player who dunks all the time people will come out just to see him dunk and then if he has an awesome dunk in the middle of the game it's all people will be talking about for days "Did you see James' dunk the other night?" that's just what we need to get fans interested in going to the games

For some reason the video didn't load for me. Did it mention FAU or Mike Jarvis specifically?

I see him on Rivals though:
Rashad James - Yahoo! Sports

yah why is this kid still on the block? he should have been grabbed way long ago, from a contender, unless his defense is poor or handling skills????????


keep in mind that highlight films do just that highlight the pros of the player!

Ive read elsewhere that he is still working to get his test scores up.

Ahhhh, that could be the answer! That would make sense.

Hadn't seen that, but good point…

At this point in time recruits of any salt are usually going to fall into two base categories:

1.  Test score/admittance requirements
2.  Administrative changeover

i think in this case, i believe we have a bit of both…

However, ther are still some very talented unsigned players…this is just one of them…

There are sites that are dedicated to tracking players that move around that were "high star" recruits, etc…they are always adding new information, so who knows who we could theoretically land at this point in time…

One thing is for sure, MJ aint signing anyone just to fill a spot…committment to academics, and solid talent will be the key cogs…and if no one signs, then no one signs…….

still no reports of defects from other signees, which so far "no news is good news"…i think we would be ok with just them…it would be nice to pick up a true frosh at the five or four, but we could get by…….

no mention of FAU or Jarvis, showed some of his dunks and him doing it in a game and he just said he wants to play D-1 ball that was really it
