One quibble--Chase Jeter was a top-12 to top-15 recruit. Although this past recruiting class has been described as down, expecting DeLaurier to be appreciably better than Jeter coming into college is inflating expectations beyond reason. Especially since the HS-to-college transition is almost universally more difficult for bigger guys than guards.
I'm going to continue to look forward to Javin competing and contributing in practice, and consider myself very pleasantly surprised if we get anything out of him next year.
