Mount Saint Joseph varsity basketball coach Pat Clatchey is not surprised by the success of former Gaels Jalen Smith and Darryl Morsell at Maryland — and says their performances have created some buzz for his program.
Smith, a sophomore center, is averaging 15.4 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game and is shooting 38 percent from 3-point range for the Terps. Morsell, a junior guard, is averaging 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
“They’ve been continuing to win, and he’s been a model of consistency,” Clatchey said of Smith on Glenn Clark Radio Feb. 11. “He’s displayed some different facets of his game. He’s shooting the three well, he’s protecting the rim, he’s rebounding the ball, and I think the thing that I’ve been most impressed with is his ability to play physical without getting in foul trouble.”
