This guy has some great offensive moves and for his size will make an impact.

Some of those moves are quicker than the average rabbit!

If Key's ability to penetrate and get to the basket that is shown in his JUCO tape translates to this level, he will get Mike Daum and our other perimeter shooters a lot of open looks. He will not have to be a big scorer to be a valuable asset. We will have to see if teams try to take advantage of his lack of size on the defensive end.

My thoughts on those two highlights "oooooooo, that spin!!!"... Anyone else? This is the type of player that can be a huge asset with our outside shooters.

That play at the 1:45 point of the video, I want and expect to see lots and lots of that this year.

David Jenkins Jr. might have something to say about that.

Jenkins pure scoring ability makes me think that he will play more at the 2 spot, although he certainly could play some point. Bringing 2 pg's (King and Mims) in for next year's class would seem to support that possibility.

Jenkins appears to me to be a true combo guard that has the shooting/scoring ability of a 2, but also has the ball handing skills of a 1. I'd be surprised if we don't see David playing both positions throughout the year.

I thought he was expected to red-shirt?

I'd be surprised at that, as well.

It's still an option, but Jenkins coming from a prep school means he's already had a quasi-redshirt season, so he'll likely be further along than a normal true freshman.

Add in that his skill set fills our likely needs for the upcoming season (outside shooting from the backcourt and a backup point guard) and it just seems unlikely to me that he will be wearing a warm up shirt all year.

Also, the fact that he is an "out of region" player very well could play a factor in whether he is active or inactive for the season. I've heard college basketball coaches specifically cite that as a reason for not redshirting a kid even though he wasn't going to get a lot of playing time in order to keep their mind on basketball rather than how far away they are from family and friends.

Outside of something unexpected happening, there is zero chance Jenkins redshirts.

I was thinking back to this article that Zim wrote and definitely must have gotten my names switched around.

This is a sure bet.
