Jay Pal comes from Omaha (like Aguek Arop) and averaged 17.5 points with four double-doubles over the final eight games of the season for Campbell
Pal and Arop have known each other since middle school, part of the vibrant South Sudanese community in that part of Nebraska. Their parents worked together. They attended rival high schools but both spent a post-grad year at The Skill Factory prep academy in Atlanta.“We go way back,” Pal said. “That relationship is a big reason why I’m choosing San Diego State. I went out there on my visit, and a lot of people already knew I knew AG. I felt welcome there, already part of the family.
“I like to call myself positionless,” Pal said. “You can play me at any position. I do just a lot of everything. They watched a lot of film on me and showed me how I fit into the system. It really made a lot of sense. The coaching staff just believes in me and how I can help a team that’s already been winning. I just fell in love with it.”
After a year in Atlanta, Pal spent a season at Clarendon Community College in a tiny town in the Texas Panhandle. Then it was off to Jacksonville State in Florida for two seasons, starting 21 games in the first but only one in the second on a team that won 21 games and reached the NCAA Tournament. Then, the Big South Conference’s Campbell in Buies Creek, N.C.
SDSU, which has become a popular destination for long, athletic, versatile guards/wings/forwards/whatever, will welcome Pal’s unique skillset. One thing that may have to change, however, is his jersey number.
