looked at his high school vids. loads of athletic ability and broad shoulders..he could potentially be an asset on defense and in transition. I agree with the sentiment posted by Old MVC Days that the team has enough shooting as is - you could even include Epperson in that bundle as someone who could potentially stretch the floor. Shooting 22% from 3 as a true frosh isn't a huge red flag, but a sub 50 ft% is. Even if he can't shoot, he has a big east body. If he can play good defense, I see him as a valuable acquisition, one for depth.

I'm wondering why Damien Jefferson is not on the roster.
Is Jefferson on campus?
Other players having to sit out a year have been on the roster in previous years.

I've seen recent pics of him with the other players, so yes, he's on campus.

That being said, I went to the New Mexico board to read about their reaction to Jefferson leaving. Vast majority were sad he was leaving with multiple comments about his being the best player on the team, most talent and potential, "legacy player" and great athleticism. Most said he was gonna be a special player and had all the tools but just needed time to develop. Hopefully he can use his redshirt year to refine those tools. Most of the time when a player leaves, the fans bash the player as not being good enough anyways etc.....exact opposite in this case. Definitively feel better about having Jefferson in the fold after reading their board.

Marcus Foster was listed on the roster for his 2015-16 redshirt season after transferring from Kansas State
Kaleb Joseph was listed on the roster for his 2016-17 redshirt season after transferring from Syracuse
Hopefully, the situation with Damien Jefferson is just a correctable error!

The roster was updated as soon as the freshmen got here in June. I'm sure they will update it again when school starts. Go Jays!
