Re: Jimmy Baron has answered YOUR questions!
Jimmy shows a lot of class. Say what you will about his father's coaching abilities, he brought his son up in the right way. Favorite quote: "I don’t pay attention to the females in these countries, and my fiance appreciates that." Smart boy! That's not for show either, that's how he's al...

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
Wait - is he a 2, 3, or 4? I've seen him listed as everything on here!
Either way, great to have a guy who can do all of that.
It certainly is nice to see that our perception of recruiting under the Hurleys was spot on.

I've never even thought of that question, so it's certainly not stupid. I would lean towards no, but since it's not a sanctioned NCAA game, it would essentially be like a practice. The real question is, what would be the point of having transfers play now, it does no good for getting this team ready...

Without a doubt he's one of the best pure shooters in the world. I am legitimately shocked an NBA team hasn't sniffed interest.
He has a shot you can't teach. Plenty of guards don't play D. Not many guards shoot like that.
