It will only be a matter of time before Jake Layman makes a huge name for himself nationally. He is a 6'8 wing/forward who can shoot, play elite defense, and dominate above the rim. Recently, Layman has begun to attract attention from a whole host of high major schools including Boston College, Texas A&M, and Providence. Here is ESPN evaluation and highlight video.
A long and athletic player, Layman has a terrific set of physical tools. He stands a legit six-foot-seven with great length and a solid frame which will eventually support a good deal of muscle mass. He is a very good athlete and gets his head on the rim between his length and leaping ability. He has good touch on his jump shot and projects as a very good three-point shooter down the road with a little refinement to his technique. He is a potentially versatile defensively who can change the game with his length on top of the press.

I'd love to see this kid on the Friars. Why didn't he prep though? I'm terribly vexed.
