Jack McGillis transferring to Montana
Oregon State Beaver and hometown kid Jack McGillis is transferring home to play hoops for the Montana Grizzlies. The Griz didn't recruit McGillis out of high school and he ended up out in Corvallis.Here's are some notes from his '06-'07 season:
Tripled his scoring average from a year before, as he averaged 5.7 points as a sophomore ... Saw the most playing time of OSU’s reserves, as he averaged 20.2 minutes while playing in all 32 games (with six starts) ... Also averaged 2.2 rebounds ... Had the second-highest three-point percentage on the team (35.9%) ... Reached double-figure scoring six times ... In his "homecoming" game at Montana State, made his first start of the season and scored a then-career-high 10 points ... Made all three of his three-pointers and scored 11 points vs. LSU ... Second-highest scoring output of the season was 15 points vs. Western Oregon ... Made what would have been a game-tying three pointer at the buzzer vs. California, but released it just after the buzzer ... Played his finest game at California, scoring a career-high 24 points while making five of nine three-pointers ... That was his first time scoring in double-figures in a Pac-10 game ... Helped OSU to its home win vs. Washington by scoring all 11 of his points in the second half ... Earned the team’s Jim Anderson Award (most improved).Glad the Griz eventually got a kid they missed the first time around. His size and range will be big for the Griz. Unfortunately, he has to sit out a year as a transfer. He does have a redshirt available so he will not lose a year of eligibility.
