Jenifer started the scrimmage in place of Evans and played 30 minutes. When they played together I'm told Troy played the 3. Obviously won't see it a ton when Evans is back, but it will be part of the rotation... |

Similarly, here's Coach Cronin talking about Bellarmine. |

Haha well thanks that's great info. I guess the Jenifer buzz is for real. I'm excited to see him get good minutes in the exhibition.

I'm so happy to hear so much talk from the coach and players about winning the league. That's a big deal to me. Great to hear them being so open about that being a goal.

That is a big development! If Jenifer is ready to give a good chunk of minutes this year it effectively adds depth to the wing which was my main concern going into the season. I'm definitely rooting for Jenifer as our biggest X factor this year!

Don't sleep on Tre Scott. He is going to surprise some people.

As for Jenifer, I believe he was ready last year, but the coach decided to treat him like it was Marine boot camp and completely tear him down, and now he is building him back up I guess. Once Mick sucked the confidence out of him last year, he looked nothing like the player that he was early in the season. He still shot a lot of outside jumpers at the scrimmage and I didn't see a lot of improvement in his shot that day, but I did notice that when he didn't hurry his shot and was fully under control, it looked sweet. My fear is that this is just another example of preseason Mick-speak, and when push comes to shove, we'll see very little of Jenifer after December and Mick will run Troy ragged. I think Jenifer's fate rests with KJ. If KJ is solid, we won't see much of Jenifer. If KJ is shaky, we'll see a lot of combinations and may the best man win. |

Talking from a source around the team I have heard Jennifer's shot did improve and I also did not think much of it during the scrimmage, but we will see as the season goes. I think Cronin is saying the right things though that he doesn't need Jennifer to be the scorer, just the guy to make plays and find the open man. This might be the biggest progression I have heard of a player in the offseason since Dion Dixon from soph to jr year. I remember I kept hearing that whole off season how better he got which he did and he played and helped the team out tremendously. Dixon in my mind didn't progress from jr to sr year.
