We may be on the brink of a nickname kerfuffle - from Scott Springer's story:

James said he could see himself driving the lane like DeJulius for the Bearcats. His trainer, Olympia assistant and AAU Florida Rebels coach Antonio Owens, said James is a man of many moves.

“I call him a Swiss Army knife because he does some of everything, Owens said.”He can penetrate. He can shoot. He's really improved his jumper this season, his 3-point shot. He has a nice physical physique so he's very strong and can bully opponents and he's a dog on defense."

That does speak volumes about his character. Getting him in a bearcat uniform and on the floor can't get here fast enough.

Chad Brendel and Justin Williams both tweet that Jizzle James will be attending tomorrow's UC game vs. La Salle. I love that JJ (from Florida) will have visited campus twice since he officially visited and committed.
