Keep in mind they add these guys to Roberson, Singletary, Lewandowski, Cook, and Okorie. I know that Pat Knight is really excited about these guys, and feels like he is adding the experience and ability he needs to win... Their average recruit grade is a 90, while OU's is a 93 (for example)...
I think Tech is going to have a high-flying, high-scoring backcourt next year with Roberson, Okorie, Jenkins, Reese, Tairu, and Crockett. That is a lot of size and athletic ability, and they can all shoot except Crockett.
Now, we have no idea if they will play good basketball or play any defense..
They have talent, but I still rank them low (for now) because they were so bad and had pretty good talent last year, although they were very young..
Theron Jenkins (6'6'' 211-Juco)- 91 RECRUITING GRADE FROM ESPN....Jenkins has a big-time body and is a solid athlete. He shoots well with range to 3pt. He is fluid off the dribble and gets to the basket. He defends well and has quick feet. He finishes well at the basket/rim and mixes in a good mid range pullup game. He also rebounds well for his size.
David Tairu (6'3'' 185-Juco)- 91 RECRUITING GRADE FROM ESPN.... Tauiru has big-time athleticism and posses a nice mid range game. He can get to the rim or hit the pull-up jumper. He rebounds well from the guard position. He is really active defender. He shoots the 3 ball. Averaged 17.5 ppg and 4.4 rpg as a sophomore at South Plains. Shot 46% from the 3pt line.
Brad Reese (6'6'' 200-Juco)- 94 RECRUITING GRADE FROM ESPN... Averaged 16ppg & 4rpg last year at Gulf Coast. He played very well this summer at Jerry Mullen's CCN Top 120 JUCO camp in Tulsa. He is a terrific 3pt shooter who is athletic and has a big wing span. He has great agility which he uses well to get to the basket. He needs strength to improve is in-between/pull up game to impact at high major level.
Jaye Crockett (6'7'' 205)- 88 RECRUITING GRADE FROM ESPN... This young senior just turned 17 years old in October so the upside factor could be off the charts. Crockett is very athletic and possesses an extra long wing span. He excels in transition where he finishes above the rim. He is a good ball handler and passer that will help transition to the small forward position when he arrives in Lubbock. Crockett has range to the arc on his jumper and can post smaller defenders and shoot over them with ease. He is also a live body on the offensive glass where he gets a number of athletic put back baskets.
Mike Davis (6'3'' 180)- 86 RECRUITING GRADE FROM ESPN... Davis is a high energy combination guard that competes. He plays in a relentless pressing high school system that he excels in. Davis is strong, physical and looks to score first. He can get to the rim in transition and is strong enough to finish through contact. He can knock down the open three and he likes to space to the corners when there is penetration.
