6-9/6-10 BIG CENTER Jaleel Cousins

[Vega]

Coach O recruited DeMarcus to UK and now trying to get his brother to USF. He's raw but with proper motivation and coaching he could be productive at USF. Definitely a major upgrade over Omogbehin.

Looks like he has some light feet for a big man, and he showed some good ability to pass there too. Looks out of shape though, and maybe a bit soft at the rim. Tough to tell against that competition. Looks like a lefty too, which is nice. I like the offer!

That video is from two years ago.. I wonder how he has improved, doesn't look like he has had much playing time at Navarro College

He supposedly took a visit to Hawaii and a subsequent visit to USF, in April, but haven't seen any recent updates on him.

 

His brother played for CoachO at UK.

 

Rivals shows he has "High" interest in USF.

Mama's post from the Guerrero thread on the Main Board, , with something found on a Spanish message board mentioning Cousins:

 

Thanks Paisa for that translation:

 

y luego han traído a Jaleel Cousins de JUCO (and they have brought in Cousins from JuCo)

 

Since Cousin' visited USF, I haven't found any recent updates on him. In addition, his tweets are protected https://twitter.com/J_cousins15.

 

It seems plausible that he could be a silent USF verbal.

 

I suppose we will find out, one way or the other, shortly.

[DELdaBull]

We need to lock him in.

I dont see anything too impressive.

I know we desperately need another big but are we grasping at straws with this one?

We need depth in the low post. The kid has a ton of upside, and we'll only have him for two years max, as a JuCo transfer. I think it's a gamble worth taking in light of Egbunu's transfer.

[JupiterBull]

_{Any idea when we might hear from him?  I have to think the window for JUCOs who can play in 2014-5 has to be shrinking.}
