Jesse Pistokache Questions

I've watched a lot of Jesse's videos, and love this kid, am glad to have him as a Spider. On the other hand, he played for a different high school almost every year. He committed to Charlotte, before committing to UR. We are in an era where transfers are rampant. Why should fans think he's a 4 year player for the Spiders? You may choose to not ask that question, but I think it's a valid question anyway.
I would like to know how many 3-point shots he took, and made, in order to come up with that mind-blowing 57.3% figure I saw, for his senior year, in the UR literature. Also, if he had previously shot roughly 35% from 3-point range (in the previous two yers), what accounted for the huge improvement in his outside shooting, and can he keep it up?
does he have a nick name and what is the correct pronunciation of his last name?
Go Jesse! Go Spiders!
Go Jesse! Go Spiders!
Below is an excerpt from a recent article in Jesse's hometown paper. Thought it was impressive how many shots he takes each day. Roll Spide!
"Jesse Pistokache learned about work ethic as a fourth grader under a personal trainer. But he was also a student of the game of basketball, and that’s where his game evolved.
His emphasis was on learning the game from a skills perspective, particularly moves and footwork, and shooting. In high school, he made at least 250 shots per day. During a six-week stay at Richmond for a summer camp last month, he made 400 shots each night during a two-hour time limit at the gym.
“I’m big on YouTube, now and then,” Jesse said. “I’d get on YouTube and just search stuff. I’d type in ‘Kobe Bryant Footwork,’ for instance. I’d search for ballhandling drills. Working on skill is a big thing, especially in the Valley.
“There are tons of kids in the Valley who can run faster and jump higher than me, but the difference is I know how to play the game. I learned how to do moves, how to get open, how to jab step into a pump fake. It sounds simple, but you have to know how to play basketball.”
>> GET A PLAN
A parent and the student-athlete should find a position and sport the athlete can succeed in. They should be realistic about the types of colleges and camps the athlete wants to attend. It’s also important to make an athlete’s coaches aware of the kid’s goals, in coordination with the school counselor.
“Things don’t just fall into place,” Patterson said. “Get a plan together.”
Jesse Pistokache goes by a simple motto: keep your head down, stay in your lane, work hard and pray harder. It’s a summarization of his experiences during his recruiting as a high school student-athlete, and it’s what he promises to abide by at Richmond.
“Just work hard and don’t listen to the positive or negative stuff, keep your head down and have a disgusting work ethic,” Pistokache said."
