Some history: played at Dallas Hilcrest through his soph year, transferred to Oakridge school in Arlington where he played his Jr. and sr. years. His Jr. year at Oakridge stats: 20.4 ppg, 2.8 steals, 2.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds. Sr. stats: averaged 21 ppg, played FB, Track and BB at Oakridge and had a 3.2 GPA...

Signed with UT San Antonio out of Oakridge, was recruited by SMU, Davidson, New Mexico. Played his Fr. year at UTSan Antonio made 7 of 15 3pts, and 10 of 29 FGA.

Transferred to Mesa CC where he played his Soph year.

TX hoops states was recruited as a combo guard by instinct but is versatile enought to play PG.

I've seen this kid play...my grandson was a starter for Oakridge BB (is now a Fr. at Baylor) McCoy is very quick, can hit from all over the floor.

We can have an all McCoy backcourt off the bench next season? Welome to the fold Adam!

Appears he can stroke the 3 and according to the article he shot 83.5% from the line, that fills two definite needs. If his 40 inch vertical is legit he could also provide some real athleticism. I think he should be a pretty nice addition.

I don't know what the competition was like, but his shooting percentages make him sound like a real pimp... a few quotes below from the article:

McCoy ranked first on the team and eighth in the ACCAC in points per game with 18.4 each contest......while owning the nation’s 14th best 3-point field goal percentage of 48.7 percent......a fundamentally sound player, McCoy ranked third in the conference last year with an 83.5 free throw percentage, ranked among Mesa’s leaders with a 50.0 field goal percentage.

I'm not sure how tough the AZ Community College leagues are, but he certainly looks like an excellent pickup. Granted everyone does on paper.

Good, now at least I think that JJ has the players he will need next year. A back up point guard and a wing for the rotation. The "Real McCoys" are here.
