Let's do this 5 years from now after Jordan has a chance to add about 10 more to the footage.

I like to see what other fan bases say about recruits. And this kid has good reviews with all of them.
Missouri State - wanted him badley.
Wichita - thought he would be a good pickup (if he went there) and that he will be a great MVC player.
St. Louis - Wondered why they never offered him. They are also pleased that he DIDNT go to SIU or MSU.
The more I read about the kid, the more I get excited!

I used to forecast new recruits as to how they can make us competitive. Now, I'm forecasting how they can help us get to the NCAA Tourney and win games. That's a big change over the last decade or so!
Side note: I'm pretty sure that's Brad Beal from the Wizards hugging Jordan at the end of the second video.

Getting a kid who generates excitement and good comments like Jordan does gives a good indication of the direction this program is going. Welcome to the Sycamore family Jordan! You will like it here.

You don't get a verbal from a kid in July to have him sign in the spring..Barnes will either sign on the dotted line in November to be a Sycamore or he won't be coming here at all.

Which is why I am wondering if this breaks the norm for ISU. I don't recall very many early verbals, nor NLIs...am I forgetting names?
I think we've had plenty of early commitments but I can't name them.

Rickman and Kessinger both signed in the fall last year if I'm not mistaken..a lot of our guys through the years are November signees.
Yes, and Page, Bell, Brown, Murphy, Smith, all signed in the fall. Not sure how early they committed.

This is about the time of year that you will see most players start to verbal. The vast majority commit between July and September I would say, and then sign on the dotted line in November.
Remember, one of Jordan's AAU teammates committed to Duke right around the same time, so it is not out of the ordinary.

I saw a ranking that had his AAU team as #25.

too many long, lob passes, too many TO's. However, playing with several top 100 and high major players.
average defensively
GOOD passer
EXC handler, VG-EXC shooter and very quick. Looks like VG+ speed to me.
That's what I got from watching the semi-final and final games.

Do you think the LOB passes are (a) part of the offense (b) has anything to do with the level of talent he is playing with? Young PG's make TO's. Average defensively against top 100 talent, I will take it for how many top 100's will he play against in MVC? All in all sounds like a great recruit.
Right. I didn't intend to sound negative. Just trying to be objective. I really like him as a recruit. I think he could really help us and I'm excited to get him.

Just my thoughts... This is a very, very solid pickup for ISU. Of course his height may be considered a liability. It seems he has learned to utilize other strengths to offset that liability. Foot speed and lateral quickness seems good. Can pass and has good anticipation.
