It has been a while.
Does anybody remember what Wilson's HS stats and accolades were?
I do not remember his stats, but as a sophomore he was as highly ranked as Tokoto.
Here is some stuff...
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Jamil-Wilson-66544#stats
http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=3001375
FWIW, these were his final rankings:
Scout - #30 overall, #5 SF
ESPNU - #31 overall, #4 SF
Rivals - #94 overall, #18 SF
I hope this was dj's choice, and doesn't sour philly on us.however, you can't overestimate what a huge positive this is. As pointed out on cracked sidewalks, a low 3-star guard rarely has any impact in the big east at least for the first 2 years. A high 4-star, and jamil was almost a 5-star in 2 of 3 services, has a huge impact by his sohomore year. His signing would make us a contender to go final 4 in 2011-12 with easily a 30-win season projected. The 2010-11 season still projects to 25 wins, same as the last two 3-amigos years, though hopefully we sneak out at least one extra win to go sweet 16.
Let's not get overly exuberant, people.
Will he help? Sure.
How much? Hopefully, a lot, but that will remain to be seen.
I'm excited for the addition, though. Welcome, Jamil!
"As a senior, he averaged 21.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.4 steals per game, leading the Rebels to the WIAA Division 1 state championship game in 2009, where they were defeated by Madison Memorial."

To be honest, I'd rather get the 4/5 star Wisconsin kids rather than Philly. That being said, I really hope DJ goes the prep school route and comes to MU next year.

Thank you! How could I leave that out?

I forget who was the point guard on that Madison Memorial team, was it Blue or Maymon?
BTW, Madison Memorial? How long ago did Madison die exactly?
I see Jamil's transfer in the same light as Ron Curry coming from AZ in the early 90's with KO. Solid impact, but maybe not All-Big East. But, still significant. Beyond that, its up to Jamil.
