He has good size and his shooting %'s were pretty good. If Josh says he needs to work on his perimeter shooting a lot of his shots must come from driving the lane. But we can sure use an 80% Ft shooter!

I hope he has good quickness at PG. I am thinking of guarding FAU's PG whom we had a LOT of trouble with last year.

Thanks Josh!

You are correct. Jackson rarely takes outside shots. Is more of a natural distributor with a nice first step and a strong all-around game. Very physical on both ends of the floor. Dedicated defender.

Speaking of FAU, sophomore all-conference guard Ray Taylor has been suspended for violating team rules. Sat out exhibition loss last night and could miss more time.

He kinda sounds like Orien Greene.

Spoke with his juco coach. Had some great stuff to say about the guy. Will have more later.

Alot of defensive issues last year is only 2-3 players actually played defense. Defense is not about speed on speed its about anticipation and help. There was never any off screen, back side, switching or help defense.

As much as I hate to say it, that was a coaching issue.

I agree it is coaching and player dedication. I can't wait to see Coach Marlin and this team in action. Got my tickets for the season.

You can get good Level 3 season tickets for less than $100 per seat. If you go to a few games, you might as well buy the season package.

I am good for the entire season. They are having a pep rally Monday night at 7 at EKL for both teams.
