The X-factor for the Indians could be Cassell, Jr., with the Connecticut commitment and son of the former Florida State and NBA star of the same name possessing the playmaking ability and court savvy to guide a Chipola ship full of guys more wired to score than to assist.​

​

“We have a lot of guys who like to have the basketball in their hands and like to score, so I’m counting on him being that leader and distributor, but he’s still talented scoring the ball,” Blake said. “He’s got a game similar to his dad. It’s an old man’s crafty game, and he makes big shots. It’s rare to get a kid like this that’s not only talented but brings a high basketball IQ and the savvy that he has. He just has to get the rust out and figure out how to use that in a game setting.”​

Cassell, the son of former NBA and Florida State player Sam Cassell, has committed to the University of Connecticut even though he hasn’t played one minute with the Indians.​

“He hasn’t played a real basketball game in over two years,” Blake said, noting Cassell transferred to Chipola last year after the NCAA declared him ineligible at Maryland. “He’s still learning on the go. It’s baptism by fire for him, and we need him to step into a true point guard role right away for us. We have a lot of guys who love the basketball in their hands and love to score, and we’re really counting on him to be that leader and be that distributor, but also at the same time balance that line of being a distributor and scoring because he is so talented scoring the basketball.”​

reading the names on his team, that's a pretty stacked juco squad. Besides Cassell, Bowers is going to FSU, Morris just committed to Minnesota, and Graham was once committed to NC State and was a top 75 recruit.

He goes to what I believe is the best JuCo. They are loaded with kids that were in his situation every year. They always have 5 guys that can play D-1 ball.
