Small forward
Small forward Jimmy McDonnell, from Jackson, New Jersey, joined the team on August 11, 2010. In his senior season at Jackson Memorial High School, McDonnell averaged 13.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks per game as Jackson Memorial compiled a 16–8 record. McDonnell was selected for the first team all-Division in the A-Shore Conference, and was the most valuable player at the WOBM Holiday Classic. McDonnell was originally headed to Division II UMass Lowell, but after a strong performance at the West Virginia HoopGroup JamFest, he drew the attention of Owls coach Fran Dunphy. McDonnell redshirted the season to add bulk to his frame.
