Temple signs 6-10 forward Jimmy Mcdonnell

Temple has signed Jimmy Mcdonnell to a scholarship. Jimmy is a 6'10 forward from Jackson Memorial high school in New Jersey. He earned the scholarship with a solid senior year where he averaged over 13 points and 6 rebounds per game. He also averaged 4 blocks per game. However, Mcdonnell really helped himself out by playing summer basketball and catching the eye of Temple scouters. Jimmy has good ball handling skills along with being able to hit long jumpers. He received the scholarship when former Temple forward Carmel Bouchman decided to stay in Israel rather then return to Temple. He's most likely going to red shirt his freshman year so he can build up his strength to become a more formidable low post presence.
