Jarreau finding a groove after early season adversity

Junior guard DeJon Jarreau has battled through a lot of adversity for the Cougars in the 2019-20 season, which started with a broken hand injury at the beginning of October, but the 6-5 New Orleans-native has slowly fought to get back into a rhythm and help the team.

“My shot,” Jarreau said on what he focused on improving in the offseason during Kelvin Sampson’s radio show. “But I broke my hand and that kind of threw all that out the window.”

On Jan. 15, Jarreau was moved back into the starting lineup against SMU and although head coach Kelvin Sampson does not put much value to who is a starter and who comes off the bench, the lineup change somewhat represented the hard work he had to go through to overcome his obstacles.
