Marvin Jean is going to be an Aggie!
Coming off a season at Sullivan County Community College where he averaged 13.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He converted on 41 percent of his shots from the field and was solid from behind the 3-point line as well, hitting 40 percent of his 134 attempts on the year.
Aside from the numbers, Jean bring a very good athlete with some height (6'5) and length that should fit in great on the wing next year. Based on what little video can be found out there of Jean playing, he looks like a tremendous athlete who is willing to be a team-first kind of guy. He also appears to take a little pride in his defense, which is probably a big part of why Stew Morrill and company showed interest in the first place.
Really for the coaches to be willing to fly all the way to New York to see a player play and to make them a recruiting priority, there's got to be something special they see in Jean. While his size and athleticism looks to be pretty good, it's nothing off the charts that couldn't be found in a lot of other players. So I feel it's safe to assume from there that they see some intangibles in Jean, whether it's his instincts, his motor, heart, swagger, or whatever else it may... It's all something we may find out a little bit more of after the coaches are able to comment on him after signing.
