There are promising reports on Jordan Riley but merely being explosive is not always successful. Jerry Nichols averaged 34.1 points a game in high school and averaged 2.1 in college. Otto Porter was steady and has earned $100 million since college. And despite that Nichols wasn't a five star either. Maybe not even a four star despite his huge numbers. I doubt any Hoya fan even saw highlights of him before he arrived. When he got to Georgetown he didn't look as if he had much of a handle and his jumpshot was iffy. Of course perhaps if he had gotten more playing time he could have shown his gifts. But he transferred out quickly and was pretty much never heard from again. Also as I recall Othella was putting up Alcindor numbers in high school too so I a m not sure what was going on with the competition in Mississippi back then. I had issues with how Thompson used Othella but regardless O had great limitations in his game despite all the accolades he came in with, and I say that as a person who considers him to be one of my fave Hoya players ever.

Can we have the 3 pt breakdown? What I want to know is whether the workouts are paying off.

He'd legit but the competition is not. Oof. I really wish he had an AAU season. Tough to gauge how much of it is Jordan being special versus just beating on some guys that won't sniff a D1 roster.

After watching this interview, I believe this kid is going to be a beast! The kid says he doesn't like losing and everybody around him gonna have his sentiment. The kid said Patrick Ewing wants him to bring everything to win. He said, defense, offense, energy, everything to bring to win. This kid has the mentality. This kid is going to be a beast in the Big East!

With Mac-like moves like that, how can we lose?

What can possibly go wrong with this? Discussed last week on the front page. Jordan's father refuted the press release.--Admin

I am convinced Riley will be exceptional. Having another guard that has a very similar “kill or be killed” mentality to Dante’s is comforting. The more dawgs on the floor the better.

He's a more athletic LJ Peak. How is his shot from deep? Thought he is more slasher than shooter, but maybe that was someone else.
