    Muskie, JD Weatherspoon is a Columbus, OH native and attends Northland High School. You might want to change the info under his profile. If OSU does not offer this kid I think Xavier's chances are very good. Think Bill Walker athleticsm.

    James Weatherspoon Commits

    From ESPN

    James Weatherspoon SF (6-6, 205)
    Junior, Columbus, Ohio / Northland, committed to Xavier
    This long and super athletic lefty has improved his skill set since I saw him in July. Weatherspoon is still a work in progress, but his midrange game and slashing off the dribble are much better. Weatherspoon displayed a smooth pull-up jumper going to his right. His release and follow through looked much smoother. He also attacked the lane and used a spin move to get past his defender and finished with his right hand. In transition, he catches lobs over or around defenders on a regular basis with his head at rim level. He is a tip dunk threat on the offensive glass. Weathersppon sprints the lane and plays with great effort and energy at all times. He must continue to work on his shooting and ball handling in order to be a complete small forward. On defense, he is capable of defending positions 1-4 with his length and high-major athletic ability. He also does a great job of covering ground to contest shots. This young man has big-time upside and with his rate of improvement will be a contributor right away at Xavier.

    Nice get for X. An athletic SF is a valuable commodity.

    Great stuff, I hope his jumper continues to improve. Never underestimate the ability to knock down a simple jump shot.
