There are two vaguely basketball related reasons why Kent State and MAC basketball fans should expect a huge season from Jimmy Hall.
The first is that he has been featured on the Kent State youtube channel with an interview style self-titled show. Mid-major schools that want to elevate the profile of a star player to go interesting measures to get the names out and that is what Kent State did here. Jimmy sits down with the host of incoming players and more or less introduces them to the fanbase. While seemingly a small gesture by the Kent State basketball program to give Jimmy this kind of platform, it certainly shows that he has a leadership role within the team and highlights a problem of an incredible amount of incoming players.
