Recruiting:  Jays get Mintz…breathe easier. 1st 2016 commit.  Lone open scholie is filled.  Several articles on BJB, BJU, and at Hoopseen.  Sneakily athletic, quiet scorer.  Davion has some Nate Funk in his game – plays downhill, a shooter with an outside-in style, and never met a shot he didn’t like.  A great addition to the team.
