Jalin Billingsley is in DC with his mom and sister. Anyone know whether he’s on his official visit? Edit: Forgot about this quote from an article about Jalin’s commitment “Add in his family, his sister, Natasha Goldsby, transferring next year to Howard, and Billingsley picked the Hoyas over Arizona State among his final two schools.” So he and his mom might just be visiting his sister at Howard.

Not sure Othella Harrington could do that drill as well as Billingsley just did.

Jalin certainly looks to be a fully developed physical athlete. He should be able to compete physically right away if he can adjust to the speed of the game in the Big East.

Julian Vaughn has more bounce than Billingsley and is bigger...not sure what point you’re trying to make. Billingsley has longer arms, maybe that’s what’s deceiving you? Vaughn had more bounce but short arms? Think you are wrong on both accounts.

I confess I have not gone back to look at film but I recall Julian Vaughn as a guy whose success was based more on hustle than bounce.

Julian lost a lot of bounce due to injuries. He was a different player his SR year, definitely more hustle then athleticism based. I wouldn't say his wingspan was exceptional for a 6'9" C/PF.

Jalin Billingsey is a terrific young prospect. He's big, strong, fast, very athletic and his outside shot looks good. Awesome. I also like Holloway a lot. Both guys are thick, athletic, fast, great timing. Coach Ewing and his staff have recruited some studs.

Even though they aren't in the same class and we won't rightly know all the answers until 2021, but for now I have to agree with you. I also believe they've been underrated by both this board and college scouts as a whole, but we shall see in the near future.
