Jayden Ross Returning!!!

[JRDBWK]

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Great news, I think he's going to be a defensive stopper for us next year, and I anticipate a more mature approach on offense. He's got great hops and quickness.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Ross gets too much shade from some Boneyarders.

Regardless of what you think he's contributed so far in his career, he's got the backing of the coaching staff. That's better than Boneyard approval I think.

And he's a great kid too. I'll be rooting for him to show what he's got.

Eliminates one spot needed from the portal. The Ross/Furphy battle preseason to get that bench forward spot is going to be a lot of fun to watch

 

[WhereistheDove?]

He’s got the tools to be a real nice bench piece. Time to put in the work. If I’m him, I’m living in the gym and putting up an insane amount of threes this off-season.

If Hurley continually praised him this year, despite the lack of on court success, then I have no reason to believe this kid can’t figure it out. Excited for JRoss to put it all together, and his loyalty to pay off.

I will bet any amount of money Ross will get more playing time than Furphy and another bet that Furphy won’t play lol.

Very happy to get Ross back!

If you told me after the Florida game that we'd retain Reed, Stewart, and Ross, I'd have been very pleasantly surprised.

 

[hardcorehusky]

If he can improve his handle and jumper, he could be the back up 1 through 3 guy that could get 20 minutes playing position less basketball

 

[BlueWolf25]

Was a little nervous as our offseason started, seemed very much up in the air as to how many guys would return. Fast forward to now and we’ve got four experienced upperclassmen returning, a big guard transfer, plus the freshman class. Hope everyone else enjoyed our down year, because I have a feeling we’re about to climb right back to the top again

 

[Marat]

I was wondering, it was kinda quiet on the announcements . I think Ross will be better next season.

 

[djct1999]

Wasn’t the biggest fan the last two seasons but his loyalty and devotion should be applauded. Will cheer loud for him next year and hope he finds the on court success he deserves. This is home for Jayden and happy he is staying.

Same. I was honestly prepared to lose more than one of them. Thrilled that isn’t the case

I was in that camp for awhile about Furphy but at this point it's impossible to ignore that every report from the staff says he's going to be an immediate impact guy. I would guess it ends up at 5-10 for Furphy and Ross is not getting that many minutes

Speaks volumes about Dan Hurley. These kids love him and love playing for him.

 

[RuffRuff]

As well as Sam V. I’m with you on this - I think Furphy ends up better player by end of year.

Ross got 4.4 minutes as a freshman and 11.4 this past season. I don't think he's returning to just be a practice player.

 

[Umami Zen]

Solid bench guy with potential to bust out. Furphy is going to push the envelop on PT. Great problem for Hurley to have.

Like I said I’m willing to do any wagers.

The staff playing a low ranked freshman (no matter what reports say) and not play the junior they spent a year talking about would be completely off pattern.

Hurley does seniority. Ross is going to play and most likely start if we don’t add someone from the portal. And we’ll all end up happy for it.

I’d be shocked if Furphy didn’t get the same minutes as Abraham and a freshman Jayden Ross.

And it has nothing to do with how good I think he is or isn’t and everything to do with that he’s a freshman.

 

[LIuconn]

I'm sure Dan Hurley had a very frank conversation with him. He must be a good one for the locker room. Glad he chose to come back

Can’t Furphy play some PG? He would have the size and passing ability to play as a Big PG.

I'll admit that I'm probably over-correcting and Ross plays, I just don't see an 11 man rotation happening and don't see anyone else being forced out of the rotation before him.

But there is literally 0 chance of Ross starting, that is crazy

I have been waiting to hear this. Very happy he is back. Gotta love a guy that knows what the hard work ahead looks like and is up for it.

As easy as he let the freshmen go into the portal, it really makes me wonder how much of an emotional decision maker he can be, as he seems glued to this sophomore group. Just throwing it out there, but might he be attached to anything connected with the NC teams?
