Coach Baines of Pupillo - "James is an extremely talented player that we couldn't be more excited to add to our basketball family. He has the quickness to get by defenders, the strength to finish at the rim and the ability to knock down the three-point shot with regularity. He is dynamic in transition and brings loads of potential with him to Elmhurst. Once James learns our system, finds ways to stay healthy, and develops as an on-the-ball defender, he is going to be an unbelievably good player in the CCIW. We are so happy he chose to compete as a Bluejay."
