He had his share of points too, valuable guy playing like that X and Carry is going to be fun next year. His effort level on the defensive end of the floor added probably 16-20 phantom points to his point total. Man was he fun to watch. @LZIp We go from 2.5 true guards on this team to 5-6 next year. I think the backup point guard position is already taken care of with the influx of talent and Clarke's development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it safe to assume Trimble was no longer going to be part of this program after this year anyways, considering we pre-filled his scholarship?

Yeah. We knew someone would have to decide to/be encouraged to transfer out, but most of us were speculating it'd be Wynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 13 minutes ago, Blue & Gold said: Verbal Commits has a new player on our roster. A JUCO shooting guard named Jacob Tracey. Says he is from Indian River State College and originally from DME Sports Academy in Fort Myers, FL for HS. Lists him as 6-4 & 200 pounds. Had scholarship offers from Illinois State, Fresno State, ECU, Bryant, Buffalo, Nevada, San Jose State, Coppin State, and Canisius. Welcome, Jacob! Go Zips! I am looking at Jacob Tracey's Verbal Commit page. Are you certain this is a commit and not just an offer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Having said that, it looks like someone is transferring out if we're offering JUCO's. Jacob Tracey's offer wasn't listed yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like everyone is staying. Jacob Tracey’s offer must’ve been provisional on someone wishing to transfer out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I thought the kid showed promise but let's be frank. As a big man he didn't play on a team that was short on big men. Have to trust the staff's assessment on this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured BVP was done with college ball, but this could be just what the doctor ordered. I imagine he's trying to go higher though.

LoyalZIP Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Good luck Sekou! I met his host parents once, they are very sweet people and he’s a good kid. He’s got a fan in me. Now, it’s a huge opportunity to fill a roster spot with a meaningful contributor. Come on, Coach! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
