I really like Jamil Wilson

Are Jamil's supposed "character concerns" coming out of a HS a thing of the past or were those just baseless rumors? Or somewhere in between?

Just curious.

I think it was just that he was "soft".  I'm pretty sure Buzz took care of that.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was the class president in high school.

Jamil is a very impressive person.  Very mature, hard-working, stays miles away from trouble, and appears to take school seriously and be a very good student.  Awesome to hear he's also on track to graduate next year, in four years despite transferring and already plans on grad school.  I'm certain that as he keeps working his game will continue to improve as well - tremendous improvement just over the course of the season this year.  He's really a model student athlete.

Well said.

Figured I would bump this thread.  Something more related to Marquette basketball.

i like that Jamil started shooting/making more long range shots throughout the season. he extended his game over time and that really helps to give us a "stretch 4"....

a 6-7 guy with length who can rebound, and keep other bigs honest from deep? yes please.

if he continues to refine/expand his game, get a little stronger/tougher down low, then he could be the next all around stud for MU.

One can only hope that Jamil grabs Vander when he works on his individual skills this off season. Vander wil learn to finish around the hoop if he's got got a guy like Jamil testing him.
Was anyone else amazed how many shots we saw blocked from behind the last few weeks? makes one question our speed.
