Jordan Geronimo and the coaches in his orbit always had a sense that, for him, college basketball could come with a more painful than normal adjustment period.
Geronimo came equipped with both the body and the mind for the Big Ten with a muscled-up 6-foot-6, 220-pound frame, a 7-foot wingspan and a pogo-stick vertical to go with it. His coaches raved about his basketball IQ and his energy level and he got the attention of high-major Division I schools when he proved during the summer between his junior and senior years that he could knock down 3-pointers.
