Title: Get to know Dino Jakolis
Post by: sectionee on May 09, 2011, 08:43:24 AM
Dino answered a few questions for me that I've posted on my blog.  He seems like a very serious, matter of fact, kind of person who is going to work hard to try and earn some playing time this coming year.

Thanks for posting this?!  He certainly sounds like a confident young man.  It is really good to start looking forward instead of backward.

My thoughts exactly.  I was going to save this for later in the summer, but with what has happened and the fact that the water is going to get muddier before it gets clearer is why I posted this one now.

Do you plan on interviewing Ben Boggs--who I presume is on campus or Richie Edwards--who will most likely be attending summer school??

I hope so, I'm a school teacher so the end of the year is a bit nutty.  But after that I should have lots of time on my hands to track down players/coaches from Valpo and other teams.

Nice interview. Short and sweet, informative and entertaining.

Thanks.  He must know that he'll be playing 3,4 or 5 on defense - mostly 4 or 5.  Once he proves he can hit the three, developing a post game will only enhance his basketball abilities.

Great interview...the kid is pretty confident.  I really liked his last answer...he is focused on the right things, a good fit for this Valpo program.

Seems like a talented addition.
