It's still early, but they're in range of Mek & Ben.
Who is Jackson from CT.?One thing that’s interesting about this staff, is they don’t recruit every local kid under the sun. It seems they did a great job finding the kids who will contribute.
Makes me interested to follow the careers of guys like Claude and Jackson from CT.

He's not a CT. kid, he's just at South Kent for the year.Elmarko.
I love the bi-polar instability of this place sometimes.This has quickly become one of my favorite teams, largely due to those two.
I agree that eventually teams will start to seriously game plan for Donovan but how lucky are we that these teams have to deal with not one but TWO very skilled big menDonovan’s next adjustment will come when he becomes the target for the other team’s defensive plan. Right now, Adama gets a lot of that attention. Donovan’s been taking some people by surprise, but you think that has to end with his performance in Portland.
It’s been said by opposing coaches in the postgame interviews, but this is it right here. Teams prepare for days to keep Adama sanogo from going off, and honestly we’ve now seen a few teams with specific roster makeup succeed at that. However, not only have we weathered that with our amazing passing and good enough shooting, but when Sanogo sits down the other teams coach and big men go “nice! Finally!” And then out comes DC ready to dominate the game. How the heck can you prepare for this? To try to limit 2 guys who are so different and so difficult to keep at bay?I agree that eventually teams will start to seriously game plan for Donovan but how lucky are we that these teams have to deal with not one but TWO very skilled big men
