So I have refrained posting here for months but I feel the need now. I am Josiahs father & barnstormers coach and coached both Josiah and Tez Seales as well as McDermott in MS. Josiah struggled offensively in his transition in the 1st 8 games or so but avgd 5 rbs & 2.5 stls or so as a starter and is the most versatile defender on the team capable of guarding 1z4 positions. The coaches have decided to go 3guard and severly limit josiahs monutes as of late. Jo is wotking hard and being a great teammate encouraging his teammates despite knowing he can help in areas of struggle, defense, rebounding, moving the ball, and making open shots. The ball movement early in the year wasn't nearly as fluid as it is now so Jo didn't get many opportunities except in the home games due to lack of defensive pressue but he showed when there is ball movement he can make open looks. Jo will continue to work hard, be a good teammate, work hard in class and be ready if his number is called. SWSiouxmn if u want to continue to down him feel free. I can't speak to Collins but with all due respect to McDermott a former player who has worked very hard to earn his scholly he will most likely redshirt next year. He would tell you he is not better than Jo right now. Tez would tell u the same thing, tez told me after his visit, jo lit him up and it was making him mad. Tez will play and play a lot next year, his handle will give him success in the ball screen offense.
