If he plays hard, I am happy to welcome him. Seems to be an undersized forward, which is fine, kind of like a replacement for Walker. Does anyone know if he is a decent defender, that alone would make me excited if he chose the Hoyas.
I am not concerned about the past behavior issues. I am sure Galen is aware that Ewing tossed two players off his team already. So if he chooses the Hoyas, he knows that stuff will not be allowed.

We could use the toughness and enthusiasm to mix it up!

I guess we will see how realistic this recruitment is if we get a a visit from Alexander. I would assume it would have to be once his JUCO season is over. There are other schools also recruiting him so I am not sure what type of position the Hoyas are in right now, but it does seem like there are some favorable connections with Kirby. In his highlights he looks like the athletic, attacking type of player that the staff is going after. Getting someone a little older, and hopefully more mentally and physically mature, should provide someone that could step in and help right away.

If Jolly is 23 and still at a Juco he might not be a good academic fit.

If Jolly is 23 and still at a Juco he might not be a good academic fit. He’s 21 years old. He redshirted at Baylor, played limited minutes as a RS Freshman last season , then decided to transfer to juco for this season. The transfer was reported as a playing time/find the right fit thing. I have no idea of his academics but I don’t see any clear red flags. I like that he rebounds, and that he has 41 steals and 31 blocks thru 26 games this year (so he contributes in other ways than just scoring).

He definitely has skills. Baggage aside, suitors will line up.

Have to think West Virginia is going to have a lot of offers out there, and available playing time, for next year. Huggins can not be too happy with the way this season has gone and he may run off some of the guys on this years team. As always there will be lots of players available after the season through transfers and coaching changes.

I love how Galen uses the threat of his outside game to initiate his full offensive arsenal. Tight check, blow by. Loose check, let it rip from deep.
That is some impressive video. He’ll make a difference somewhere.
What are the JUCO transfer rules now? Do you play right away for 2 years? Or Do you have to sit out a year?

But hasn't he only been there 1 year...so can he leave after 1 year (without having graduated) and play right away? Seems to me taht's what Jerome Williams did, but I could be mistaken-he may have gone for 2 years and graduated...

I think Alexander may be a guy who can come in and contribute immediately. If the grades and character are in order, I would be glad to land him, and I trust that the staff will do appropriate due diligence on those topics.
