As someone who doesn’t follow this, how good is his son? I love the idea of sticking it to the Hawks if he’s worth it He and Christian Ray have good chemistry together. Their team went undefeated this season and they won the Inter-Ac and State Independent Schools title. He would be a solid add and I would want him both for his basketball skills...and for the burning stake it would drive into the hearts of the Hawk fans on City Line.

Giannini had already offered him. He is not going to be as good as his dad, but I like pedigree.

I'm OK with him not being as good as a former Wooden Award winner and NBA all-star

If he landed here, I'm sure there's a good rollout idea.

I was sitting with some HS and College coaches at a InterAc game and the subject of Jameer Nelson JR came up. All agreed the PERFECT level and schools for him were SJU(PA) and La Salle. That kind of gave me the impression that we were more than interested.
88 said he would like a bigger guard. I'm not sure he is saying a "bigger profile" or "bigger physically". The one time I saw him play he appeared to me to be in the 6-2 range. Slender but not skinny. The rep on him is he's hurt a lot. Sat out about half the season this year at Haverford School. Not sure the injury either a hand or a shoulder. He averaged 14 points a game this season. I recall something about him going to Prep School for a year before entering SJU (PA) which I think would be perfect for the young man. His game is more of a traditional 2 guard. Can take the jumper or take you to the basket.

Is he going to be a 5th year at Haverford?

Is he going to be a 5th year at Haverford? i'm pretty sure they don't do post-grads in the inter-ac. he'll need to go to one of the new england prep schools or something similar. closer to home you've got perkiomen prep where chris arch went and mt zion in baltimore where ayinde hikim went. my guess is he's already qualified for freshman eligibility, so he could also spend a year at one of the basketball-only academies just working on basketball, strength, and conditioning.

I never could imagine the day when Jameer Nelson Jr might maybe possibly commit to La Salle after walking away from SJU, yet here we are... Wild times.

Not "post-grad" but they do allow students to repeat grades. He's listed as a RS JR on some recruiting sites.
It's what keeps the Inter-Ac out of the PIAA.

He has abysmal stats at Indiana...6-10 guy that doesn't shoot threes.
Texted my high school knowledge base who doesn't like him.

Usually they will repeat 8th grade, I know some kids that did this entering Episcopal Academy. The other reason the Inter-Ac doesn't want to go into PIAA is the transfer rule. Kids can transfer into a Malvern or Haverford and play immediately instead of sitting out a year. I wouldn't be surprised if they were PIAA in 10 years...parents talked about wanting to play for PIAA state championships a few years ago when my son was at Malvern, especially now that the PCL competes for them.

I am pretty sure we are in on Clifton Moore. I don't know if he will choose us but I am pretty certain we have made some contact with him.

I've seen enough La Salle basketball to say that a guy who can rebound those types of shots is exactly what we need.

I'm that kid in the gif who misses the wide open three by hitting that part of the backboard that no one ever hits.

BJ came to La Salle as a 23.4% shooter from behind the arc. I need atleast 106 minutes of career playing time before I use the stats to tell me anything.

I question anyone would voluntarily go to school in Indiana. We should order a psych before we offer.

I’m not sold. Joe, Come on. 2 attempts. I saw him in AAU. The jump shot is real. Effortless really hard to find with someone north of 6’9.. Recruited by the coach that was fired.. He never got a shot.. He is a good fit for La Salle.. If he wants to come here, he will and should have plenty of suitors.. Full faith in Ashley to evaluate the pool and go after what he needs..
