On Jimmy written last year it appears Rivals had him as a 4 star
“He currently has nine total offers from Kent State, Ball State, IUPUI, Fort Wayne, Northern Kentucky, North Dakota State, Detroit, Northern Illinois and Toledo.
Beane has drawn interest from Wisconsin, Notre Dame, FGCU, Nebraska, Kansas State, Southern Illinois, West Virginia, Illinois State and Valparaiso as of late.”
So is this kid a steal?
According to his own twitter before choosing SIU he had narrowed his choices to Florida State, Butler, Wisconsin and SIU... So those schools must have offered him a spot. to choose us over any of them is impressive. the capacity at which they offered him is unkown but I have to believe at least one or two were scholarship offers.
I think he was a HIGHLY sought after high Mid-Major Talent--not sure teams like FSU offered

He didn’t have offers from those schools. He’s a little full of shit lol
Look at who the actual offers were from and then look at who he claimed had interest in him.
Seems to be a bit of a disconnect 😆
If there is one thing I have learned following recruiting its that the recruiting sites are absolutely awful at keeping up with offers from non top 100ish prospects. Don't you think its a bit ballsy to put them in his top 4 or 5 if they never even had interest or offers. Someone could have easily called him on that. I am not saying they were scholarship offers but those schools had to at least have interest.
Welcome to Southern Jimmy. Please try and ignore all the ridiculous posts on this site!
Seems apropos here:

Apparently Jimmy will be eligible--if he is he will help out next year
Seems like a nice pickup. It will be interesting to see how much time Jimmy and Darius spend on the court together.
I dug in to this pretty good today. Kansas State did not offer for sure. Some rumors of poor work ethic and a bit of attitude . None of which I can say is true. He is a good get that could help right away talent wise. If Barry can keep him grounded he could be very very good. He did himself say he wanted to play one or two years in college then go pro. That scares me a bit with the attitude rumors
He's still very young. I'm glad Uncle Anthony is here for him

This is hilarious if true. If he's that darn good, I guess we can expect an extension for the clown and several more years of BarryBall.
I think he could be a very good pick up myself. Like underdawg said. Uncle Anthony being there has to be a good thing
