jamil wilson

[dolly4512]

does anyone have any information on how the kid looks in practice? can todd post something interesting?

[tower912]

I've seen different places that he is the most athletic player on the team, that he plays like Carleton Scott of ND, that he is even running the point in some half-court sets.    All of which tells me that he is not a mauler under the boards.   

[Goose]

He is the best player on the team from what I hear.

[Blackhat]

I can believe he is the best player on the team, needs refining but this summer at the pro-am he was definitely the most physically talented player we have.

That said, he won't be the physical presence inside we need for rebounding and defense.

I'm no talent evaluator, but just watching the guy in shoot around and in the videos that I have seen...he is something special.

I am really excited to see him play next year. Hopefully he can make lose of Jimmy only a minor a one.

Jamil is an athletic swingman.  He always has been.  He is more athletic than JFB...definately handles better...probably shoots better.  But he isn't a banger.  He will cause match up issues for sure.

[mviale]

amazed that he is the best player - time will tell.  Better than Jae, JFB , DJO, DB?

He certainly was holding back at Oregon.

[T-Bone]

Right now, he's by far our best cheerleader.  He's always the first person jumping off the bench waving his arms around trying to get the team and fans up.  It'll be interesting to see that on the court next year. 

[Stronghold]

Will he have 2 or 3 years of eligibility here?

If he relentlessly crashes the boards like Jimmah F'in Butlah...watch out BE!

Three years as he took a red shirt this year.

Not a red shirt....a transfer.

Actually it's both.  He's using his redshirt during his transfer year.

What is his Gasser Comparison Index Score?

[shaquilvaine]

Jamil is a special talent.  Where he needed to improve is his intensity... mental aspect of the game.  Hopefully this redshirt/transfer year has taught him to bring it every possession because if he does... look out!

That's what I was told, too. 

"A better Jimmy Butler"  We'll see....

I don't get to watch him practice or have any inside sources on the team, but it's been great to see how involved he is on the bench cheering his teammates on.

I forget the exact reasons why, but i seem to remember their being knocks on his character about Jamil being all about him when he was being recruited as a senior in high school. I could be wrong about what i remember though?

Either way, i find it very nice to see how he has acted on the bench during game days. I'm very excited to see next what he can do on the court.

There were no knocks on his character.  Him and Buzz had some issues due to Jamil being late to Marquette Madness (?) during his senior year due to a volleyball tournament that ran late.  Buzz pull the scholie offer...only to put it back on the table.  Here is the thread:

Which of course prompted a number of Scoopers to basically say we never wanted him anyway.

Not sure if anyone noticed during the game, when Buzz called a TO that setup the corner 3 by JFB, right at the end of the TO, Wilson steps into JFB's grill yells something at him, they pound chests, and 5 seconds later JFB releases the 3, and before it goes in, Wilson threw the 3 googles and stands up, knew it the whole way.

Can't wait to see this kid play!

[Stretchdeltsig]

Another interesting comment about Wilson is that it seems he has grown taller.  When you watch the players huddle, Wilson seems as tall or taller than the "ox."  That would make him 6'8" or 9".

I didn't notice this.  Would love to see it.  Anyone?

If Jamil brings to the floor the interest he's demonstrated on the bench, there will be some happy Scoop fans.

So we can expect a Frozena like performance?
