Basketball season for 2015/2016 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from Jeffersontown . Remember, please be constructive.

They got some transfers. But there have been conflicting reports as to who they are, and if they've been cleared. Anyone have the info?

The two top or best transfers would be 2017 Delvonte McCloud, 6'5" SF. He started at times and was part of the rotation in the Doss lineup that made it to state last season. I have heard nothing official, but was told he was not ruled eligible at first go around, but is appealing and expected to be eligible.

 

The other player not on the team last year that would become one of the better players is 2016/17 Juneathean or "Peanut" Cunningham, 6'1" SG. He is very strong, athletic guard that will defend and slash. He was in the Louisville area before, but then moved out on the West Coast with family. He has moved back, but there is some question as to what grade classification he would be and whether he will be eligible in the 1st semester. Should be able to play in 2nd semester and will be a nice addition.

They also have a former doss and brown player a point guard will jay something.

Correct, two Doss transfers and McCloud played major minutes for a State tournament team so he obviously is the player they would like to see eligible. My understanding is both Doss players were initially ruled ineligible and have went the route of getting a lawyer even if it means going to court.

 

I have seen here earlier that if you retain an attorney and go through the courts you are almost assured of being eligible. Hope it works for these two if they are taking those steps.

Without any of the guys mentioned above, JTown could be in for another long year. They are undersized at all positions including point guard.

 

Dakota White will be a Jr who played quite a bit last year. He can get to the basket but likes to challenge taller shot blockers when best to find an open person. Jimmy Kwizera also played heavy minutes at the forward spot, has the heart, just not very skilled.

There is no Brandon Johnson walking through that door. Kid kept them in so many ball games last season and like it is everywhere, you sometimes have to reload without the firepower that carried you in the past. With a good chance of there being a favorable ruling with several of the transfers the team will still be a dangerous team to play. McCloud is very talented.
