** #1 HYG: J’Von McCormick **

[Denim Vest]

Eat your heart out cbb universe. Can put to bed the notion Boog hoops is taking a step back with this electrifying HYG stepping into the starting PG role.

Dubbed baby AI by our own Daymeon Fishback the athleticism of this young boog is on another stratosphere. He kind of reminds me of a future HOF of the huhut by the name of Steve Smith. Small in stature but just a knack for imposing his physical prowess on much bigger opponents.

I had run the #s in the off-season but Jvon has the highest PER of any returning SEC PG. Better than the likes of Ashton, Kira, Nembhard. Bruce been raving about this young buck and judging by his performance in the exhibition Jvon looks ready to pickup where he and Jared left off last April.

What a meteoric rise from a bit part after thought at the beginning of last season to arguably the top HYG of them all. Expecting a mondo sized season from him and baby AI has proven to not cave under the pressure

I remember early last year thinking we couldn't survive with Harper in foul trouble. What amazing scouting and player development by Bruce. He truly is the GOAT.

No doubt. I just purchased an 8x10 for my little office space of which I've never had huthut pics. Will go right next to my Diploma/Samford combo & my picture matted frame of the CREED (which I have no problem with as long as BRUCE is corching the Boogs & HYGS).

I’ve never seen a player develop more - in season - than J’Von being legitimately unplayable at LSU to being the best player on the court for prolonged stretches against multiple top 5-10 programs in straight up NUT CUTTING TIME mere weeks later

we’ve seen players make leaps from 1 season to the next, but the work J’Von must’ve put in - and the help he was given by every coach involved - should not be glossed over... it was a transformation - and everyone deserves far more credit than they’ve been given, even by us

I can only imagine the continued strides he’s made over the summer... BRUCE beams when discussing him, and I feel certain we’ve modified our base offense to accentuate even better J’Von’s strengths compared to Jared’s

case in point - our first bucket in the exhibition was, I believe Samir, hitting a cutting J’Von crashing hard from the weak side baseline for an easy oop... I love Jared, but he wasn’t attacking the rim off ball and mushroom stamping poor, unsuspecting bigs... I suspect we’ve tweaked a few more traditional sets to put J’Von in as many spots as possible to attack the rim

everything about this HYG staking his claim to the #1 spot is beautiful, and I’m about to take a nice long walk and find a secluded spot to weep quietly and reflect on the blessings BRUCE hath - and shall continue to - bestowed

also - not sure if it was a 1 time tribute for the exhibition or a full time change, but J’Von rocking the #5 speaks volumes about his place on this squad
