UAZippers Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I haven't heard much about him before, but after a quick search, he seems like a quality guy. He was hurt most of his Freshman year and steadily lost minutes as this past season went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 He's a 53.3% career free throw shooter. Should fit right in in the blue and gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Played HS ball with Aaron Jackson, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'd take him in a heartbeat (if he's good enough for Izzo, he's good enough for me, unless you have character problems like Kaminsky), but where is there scholarship room on this team? His sister plays for Can't State, and with Aaron Jackson being a high school teammate, I wonder if Akron has a leg up on the Billikens?

Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Very nice get. As the article mentions, it's a shame he won't be able to play this year with Big Dog and Kwan. However, beggers can't be choosers. Welcome aboard, JB! Z.I... P.S. Even though Bess hasn't stepped foot on the court as a Zip yet, give me him over OU's MSU transfer in Kaminsky.

ZachTheZip Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 At the level Michigan State plays at, you can't get injured. Ever. As soon as you do, someone younger is always there to take your minutes and is talented enough to keep them. I just hope he's fully recovered and fully motivated once he becomes eligible. You don't start games at Michigan State without having a TON of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just the sort of comment you like to see from your rivals "groooaaaaan. As if Akron needs this type of talent. Ohio going to be put in a tough spot of sorts...". From the Hustle Belt article on Javon's transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyman23 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Javon Bess, who recently committed to Akron after transferring form Michigan State, has decommitted from Akron and reopened his recruitment — Zach Fleer (@ZachFleer270) May 20, 2016 Edited May 20, 2016 by zippyman23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Interesting . . . No insider knowledge but since we already seem to be over the scholly limit until we see if anyone leaves this summer I wonder if we wanted him to pay his own way during the year he has to sit out or what else drove him to decommit.
