Jojo McGlaston, 6-5 explosive wing from Utah State w/2 years of eligibility, just committed to Bradley, per a source. Immediately eligible.

He spent the 2 years at Utah State and was at Diablo Valley College last year

[bstall]

McGlaston is a 6'5" guard averaged 5.6 pts, 3 rbs, and 1.9 assists while shooting 32% from the field, 33% from 3 and 62% from the free throw line in the 2014-2015 season at Utah State

Wow, did not see this coming. Welcome to Bradley Jojo!!! Is he eligible to play next year then?

[Chibearsfan10125]

Sounds like he sat out last season, which is why he is immediately eligible. Why he sat out, I'm not sure.

Everything I found said he transferred to Diablo Valley college, but he was not listed on their roster for last year so I am not sure.

Chris Roberts reincarnated?

Chris Roberts reincarnated?

That would work for me!

He is eligible immediately since he is a juco graduate. He attended Diablo Valley College for 2015-16, where he did not play. As a juco grad, he has 2 years of eligibility remaining. He is originally from Dublin High School in the SF Bay area of California.

Here is a YouTube highlight video (sorry if it was already posted) from high school, and he looks pretty impressive. He is a wiry left hander-

Bradley already has a signed NLI from Jojo McGlaston, and posted this on Facebook-

Wow.....this came out of nowhere.....good job Braves!

Many fans, including myself, were hoping for a lights-out perimeter shooter.
Well, JoJo probably isn't that lights-out shooter, but here are some interesting numbers-

At Utah State, in 2014-15 he was 21-63 from three (33.3%) and in 2013-14 he was 9-21 from three (42.9%).
His combined three point shooting in his 2 seasons at Utah State was 30-84.
That is 35.7% from three.

That may not sound great, but it would have been the best 3-point percentage on Bradley's team last year (2015-16).

In fact, the 35.7% would have been the best 3-point percentage on the 2014-15 team-

And the best on the 2013-14 team-

http://www.bradleybraves.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209304392&DB_OEM_ID=3400

And better than anyone on the 2012-13 team [except for Tyshon Pickett's limited stats (6-13)]-

And it was better than anyone on the 2011-12 team-

http://www.bradleybraves.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205332886&DB_OEM_ID=3400

The last Bradley guard who shot better that JoJo's 3-point percentage was Andrew Warren in Jim Les' last season, 2010-2011

Ironically, Dub suggested a comparison to Chris Roberts, who played at Bradley in 2008-09 and 2009-10. Chris' 3-point stats in his 2-year career was 70-196, which is exactly the same 35.7% that JoJo McGlaston shot in his 2 seasons at Utah State. I'll take that, but hopefully, JoJo's best years are ahead of him!

I was at Childers for breakfast this morning and saw the coaching staff with a recruit that looked a lot like JoJo, I was wondering if they were closing the deal on a recruit. Welcome to BU JoJo!
