Jeff's almost blew it when Ponds went out with his 4th foul. He had an altercation that caused a double foul for his third and his coach should have sat him down to calm down. Instead on the next pay he got his 4th. He is excellent at driving to the hoop and has a nice teardrop shot but he needs to work on his shot range. Good thing is that he will be surrounded by a better cast of players at SJU and not be expected to carry the team. Don't expect the world of him in year one but let him develop..

Why has almost anyone who has seen him saying we should temper expectations? Not saying ponds should and will be as good as Harrison . But I assume they should be close. Almost all of Mullin's recruits are getting the same caution. Ahmed is first team all American, hardy and brownlee weren't . Is it reasonable to assume he will be an above average big east player?
Another positive on Shamorie based on a local Brooklyn Newspaper. he was named Brooklyn player of the year and he was also named to play in the Mayor;s trophy all star game. He gave his place in the game to a teammate who is still looking for a scholarship so that he could play in the game which brings in a lot of recruiters. Not only a very good player but unselfish--great teammate without the ego. Props to the young man!!!!!!!!
