^ Damn that jump shot is ugly. By comparison, Trey Davis' jumper is a thing of beauty.

Looks a lot like Trey's shot to me. That music is pretty annoying.

More chatter on DeJon. His ratings are pretty high and it seems we're interested.

^ Nice find, that's very interesting, sounds like he's really high on UMass right now. That was an article from an LSU site (I think), but he talked about UMass the most.

Here's a couple of highlights of Jarreau. One also features his teammate Gresham that UMass is also recruiting.

Jarreau is a tall and lanky G. Weird looking jumper. Pretty fluid and athletic, seems to be good attacking the rim.

Good to know that he saw the game where we lost by 22 points and played like shit :roll:

What do you suppose Matthews saw when he looked at Rhody games two years ago? He went there because he wanted to play immediately.

De Jon Jarreau (6’3-170), point guard at from McDonogh 35, seems to favor Memphis currently. UMass, Arizona, Boston College, ULL, Oklahoma and Oral Roberts have all made offers hoping to sway him.

Don't want no guys with ugly jumpshots anyway.

They seem to still be hard after this kid, and in this article he mentions he's going to come up for a visit: http://louisiana.scout.com/story/154602 ... rid-payton

The other article previously posted from January made mention of how our offer was of "particular interest" to him, whatever that may mean.

I believe he and Gresham are the two that are a package deal, and UMass is hard after both.

^^^ the article says he wants to study sport management. Obviously a huge advantage for us. Getting a top 65 recruit would be a program changer.

From what I've read, plus an exchange I had with someone who covers recruiting, UMass is in really good position to get both Jarreau and Gresham. They're relatively late bloomers, but UMass was involved with them early, they're apparently a package deal which limits their options and they want to go to school away from home.
