First 2014 Commitment

Jamion Christian has done it again. The new Mount St. Mary's head coach has landed another verbal commitment, this time for an incoming 2014 power forward.

Handley (VA)'s Cameron Jackson committed to the Blue and White earlier today. The 6-7 rising junior plays his AAU basketball with Virginia Elite. Marcus Helton tweeted the news earlier. Jackson becomes the first commitment of the 2014 class.

We look forward to watching Jackson, who was recently called one of the best Power Forwards ever in the VA Elite program on a VA Elite tweet, develop over the next several years.

We'll have more information as it becomes available.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
