BU commit- 2016- JoJo McGlaston

[Da Coach]

You could have had the scoop on everyone! I suspect you are right and he must have been visiting Bradley's campus.

Like the fact that our classes are a little more balanced out now. Looking forward to JoJo rocking the rims at Carver Arena for the next 2 years. With all of the new additions we're certainly becoming more of an athletic team, which is what BW's teams were at Wisconsin-Green Bay. The jury is still out if that translates into better shooting and more wins.

I like this one a lot - nicely kept under wraps 'til sealed....
This is the kind of player that people look forward to watching - I wish him great success at Bradley!!

I believe Jojo is the first Northern California product since Zach Andrews & Lawrence Wright - also both extremely athletic kids...
..and McGlaston is a lefty like Boogie...and like Zach- Jojo has already had one ESPN SportsCenter #1 play on their Top Ten Plays

While Jojo was at Utah State he was a teammate of ex-Bradley commit Sean Harris

While in high school - Jojo was ranked as high as the #30 shooting guard in Class of 2013

I like how much Coach Wardle highlights the high character -
"We ... feel really good about the student-athletes we have coming in this
summer," said Wardle. "Our approach to recruiting has always been to
evaluate with our eyes and not our ears. We filter out a lot of the outside
noise and emotion and dial in on who is the best fit for our long-term success.

"We target players who possess the Bradley DNA: high character, degree
driven, tough, competitive, winners, high motor, work ethic, coachable and
an upside to develop," Wardle added. "The players we have coming in for
next season fit this mold. We have done a lot of homework on their character
and have watched them play live and watched film on them and believe we
are bringing in the right pieces for our puzzle. The future is bright and we are
ready to get to work."


btw - some more highlight videos

Athleticism must run in JoJo's family. A couple of JoJo's older brothers were pretty good basketball players, and his younger sister, Mecca McGlaston, a senior at Dublin High School, has only been running track for 3 years, but she is already a world-class track star.

She set the world record a year ago for the fastest time ever by a high school junior in the 100 meter high hurdles. Her personal best time of 13.18 sec. is the third-fastest in state history and sixth-fastest ever run by a high school hurdler.
She won the state title for the 100m HH in 2014, and finished a close 2nd in 2015. She has a scholarship to run track for USC.

A nice Youtube video with a lot more info on Mecca McGlaston-

Injuries have hampered her in her senior year, but she is ready to make her comeback-

with the addition of two extremely athletic wing players as soon as we missed out on Freddie McSwain - obviously that need was high priority and I have to think these similar guys we were recruiting are off the board
Elliott Smith
Tre'Darius McCallum

Smith has beens elected for the NJCAA juco All Star Game tonight in addition to John A. Logan's dontavious Payne and Kavell Bigby-Williams.

This is a nice addition. Now we need to get a couple of pure shooters.

Confused!

Hey Vent,

Last I looked, BU now has 13 players with scholarships for 2016-17...

Are you talking about 2017-18 BU recruiting, or, do you think some more of the returning 2016-17 BU scholarship players will leave?

I'm talking about 2017-18 recruiting. Several weaknesses have been addressed. We still haven't been able to get a couple of pure shooters, but there are only so many scholarships available.
