Will Jeffress
- Thread starter Joe the Panther Fan
- Start date
I was a little surprised when I saw his name in the email Pitt sent out.
ACC backboards breathe a collective sigh of relief. No more line drives heaved at them.
Hey, he won us the Wake game, though. Props for that. I'm sure he'll be making more money than most of us very soon.

You just know the Will will win at life! This man is a winner and will succeed.
This is a good move by Will. If I were him, I'd look for a school based on the quality of the graduate program/medical school like real students actually do. It would be basically impossible to play college basketball while attending medical school but could he start a class or 2 while playing? Dont know that answer. I think he can be a starter at the mid-major level.
I believe Wayne DiBartolo was playing his final season at RB while enrolled in the Dental School - but I could be wrong. Will could get an extra major or enroll in Grad School for a final season of Hoops.

He has 2 more years. So it really depends on what he plans on doing for a career. If he plans on attending medical school, I dont know if that can be done while playing basketball at a place like say, Drexel. Maybe he could take a class or 2? Or perhaps he just picks up another undergraduate major for 2 years just to play hoops and delays medical school? Or enrolls in a regular graduate school like Epidemiology or something like that.
Seems like a great kid and I'd wish him the best and also I'd love if we had one more scholarship spot for a wing.
Maybe Bob Schilken too, in that same era, don't remember if he ever redshirted or not???
I went to dental school and there were several former college athletes while I was there , but I couldn’t imagine any first yr dental student having the time to play any D1 sport . In grad school you could lighten your load during your season , they’re never going to alter the curriculum for one student .
Heading to Louisiana Tech in CUSA. Decent mid-major. I think he can potentially start at that level
Unless perhaps he’s playing center….I mean I don’t know that I have ever seen a div 1 player so completely uncomfortable with the ball in his hands….just no offensive moves or even instincts. Most kids develop moves on the playground playing one on one. He literally looked like he never played a game of one on one hoops.
So you dont think he can start at the 3 for W&J over some dude who averaged 16 PPG at Trinity?
As long as he’s not expected to score….can he even put the ball on the floor…seriously. To be honest, he looked more uncomfortable offensively this year than 2 years ago.
He will average 7 PPG at La Tech. He's not a D3 level player. Get real.
Good for Will. Spending his gap year playing one last year of hoops before starting his journey toward med school. Best of luck to a great young man.
We should hope he has a productive season after all he gave everything he had at Pitt .
