Obviously, I don't think we will load up the program with 12 players with more potential/ability than Parker Jefferson, so I am not spinning this in any way. I would have liked to keep Jefferson.
That said, I wasn't super impressed with his highlights. I know a lot of the people who know about basketball on here really liked his game, so I wouldn't be shocked if I was wrong, but I just didn't love his highlights. I watched one full game of highlights and then a mixed senior highlights clip and I don't think I saw him dunk the ball once. That always stands out to me - - not because "dunking is cool" but because it shows a lack of explosion to me. Even guys like Nate Reuvers or Nolan Winter had a lot of dunks in HS.
I wouldn't be shocked if I end up wrong on him and I'm not at all arguing that it's a good thing he is leaving, but I'm kind of either way on him.
