Jameson Keefe

Troy native and 7'3 center Jameson Keefe has announced that he's leaving La Salle citing a desire to be closer to home. If I remember correctly he was planning on redshirting this year at La Salle. Interesting development.

The kid is definitely a D-1 talent. Saw him play in HS. I think he may be worth a look.

We don't have any scholarships available though, either this year or next...barring transfers, of course.

He could certainly walk-on, as long as we didn't recruit him and he contacted us. I could be wrong though.

He's D1 tall, but I'm not sure he's a D1 talent.

In all honesty, he would not be able to play at the pace UAlbany plays, which is not that uptempo to begin with, and does not have the talent to justify slowing down for him. He could potentially work a player like Gifford or Turley in practice, but it would be risky to give him a scholarship. And he did not seem to have any real desire to play basketball in high school.

The road to futility is littered with 7'3" projects who step onto a gym floor without being able to tell a basketball from a cantaloupe.

 

I know nothing about him but what I've read, and it seems he's tall and that's just about all. My gut tells me he'd be a distraction and a detriment. Give him the address for LCC and help him get on mapquest.

I was thinking of him possibly walking on since there are no scholarships left for next year. For the accounts I've seen he's a good student and a local kid. I wouldn't see a downside to him on the roster in those circumstances. Who knows if either side is interested, I just saw the news and thought it was interesting.

I agree with DP-----The kid had a scholarship at a D-1, Atlantic 10 school--and he played well in HS--there was no lack of desire. and he does know a basketball from a cantaloupe.
