Jarvis Varnado for the most blocked shots in a season by a MSU freshman. So he has a good chance to break Varnado's record. I really liked Varnado when he was on our team, but I hope Ado can set a new record.

I hope Ado can set an MSU scoring record as well. Keep grinding ado
I love Ado, but he's not breaking that record. Here's why:
1) Let's remember that the 3 years after Varnado's 67 blocks as a freshman he went 157, 170, and 170. Those numbers are ridiculous and I'm not sure Ado can get there.
2) Varnado did that 67 his freshman year averaging 13 minutes a game. Ado has averaged 26 minutes a game. So he's got the same number of blocks in twice the minutes played.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some Ado and his potential. But Varnado is the greatest shot blocker of all time. The fact is that his freshman year Varnado averaged one block every 6 minutes of play. Ado is averaging one block every 12 minutes of play. Ado has a LONG way to go to get to where Varnado was.
I agree on shot blocking. I think ado passes JV as an all around player though.Quote:

Just for the sake of all that is holy and merciful do not make a video of Ado blocking pieces of paper saying Ado blocks.
Ado is going to be a much better all round player than Varnardo. He will also be a better defender. Jarvis was a great shot blocker. He was a slightly above average defender. Ado reminds me more of a young Dampier. If he had Dampier?s wingspan the sky would be the limit.
I believe Ado will be 1st team All-SEC if not his Sophomore year, his Junior year. He will only get better.
Ado has the chance to get drafted and play some in the NBA. If he continues to develop, he has a possible career in the NBA. As much as I love JV, he never had a real NBA skill set.
