More on MaymonWritten by: noreply@blogger.com (Henry Sugar)Just a few more updates from around the web regarding yesterday's commitment from Jeronne Maymon.
- Sportsbubbler (http://sportsbubbler.com/DisplayTopic.aspx?TopicID=1840) has the video of the press conference from yesterday.
- Rosiak was on a roll yesterday with three blog entries. The first one was linked yesterday, the second is a Q&A with Jeronne's dad (http://blogs.jsonline.com/muhoops/archive/2008/05/27/tim-maymon-interview.aspx), and the third covers some first impressions of Maymon (http://blogs.jsonline.com/muhoops/archive/2008/05/27/first-impressions-of-maymon.aspx) based on a game against Milwaukee Vincent.
- 620 WTMJ has a radio interview with Jeronne (http://www.620wtmj.com/sports/16490206.html)
- The Wisconsin State Journal (http://www.madison.com/wsj/mad/breaking_news/288289) has an article on the commitment from yesterday too. Here's a fantastic quote from his mom:
QuoteNow that Maymon has his basketball future mapped out, his mother â€" and others â€"will make sure his academics don't keep him from getting there.
"He could fall and hurt himself and be out of the running as a basketball player," Latanya Maymon said. "Then what are you going to be? A big, dumb jock? I refuse to have a big, dumb jock; I want him to have more substance than (that)."
- Finally, don't forget to check out Jeronne's wiki page (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball_recruits/jeronne_maymon) for a comprehensive overview. There is a ton of information on his game, style of play, additional links, and even a few video clips.
