"Jethro is going to fun to watch develop. Everyone knows he can block shots, and his skills on the block will continue to improve. You can't teach what he has with his size and length. We expect him to be an elite defender at the basket." -- Bobby Hurley
 
--Physically is ready to go, as his 7-5 wing span will be among the best in the Pac-12 and he has just six percent body fat. Also has size 15 shoe.
 
--Is an excellent shot blocker.
 
--The eighth Sun Devil top-100 recruit since 2007, and at 6-10 easily the tallest.
