We know how it turned out, but I’ve never seen a guy make as many contested 3’s as freshmen Jamar
Or more accurately, as high of a % of highly contested 3’s. That dude made a bunch of truly absurd shots, if he could have stayed healthy and kept things together off the court he could have put up a shitload of points over a 4 year career. And he was a true deep cut 3 star recruit, Wagler was at least top 150 but Jamar Smith was completely off the radar when we offered him.  Previous Message
Luther Head and Kendall Gill (I think he was a three star but not 100% sure) are a pretty good start.
