Whittle, about JBJ?

  • I believe I read he was rated the 40th best prospect in VA as a high school senior.

    I know he played on some good travel teams and as best I recall, had good stats.

    How does a kid with his obvious multiple skills get overlooked not only by pro scouts but also by virtually every college team in America?

    That's a great question I don't know the answer to. The first time that the USC coaches saw him, they knew they had a steal. There were a couple of big schools that were recruiting him early and basically dropped him. He was on a good travel ball team - the Richmond Braves - so he had eyes on him. I don't know what people weren't seeing.
