Billy Gillispie:

B.J. is a premier, true point guard and those guys are few and far between. He’s played on winning teams his entire life. He plays bigger than his size and is a tremendous competitor.

Dave Telep (Scout.com):

B.J. plays a lot tougher than his listed size.

Mike Kunstadt (Texas Hoops):

B.J. Is very quick and is a good ball-handler, scorer and penetrator. He also is a good on-ball man defender and is very athletic. He's a true point guard and is a really nice addition to the A&M program.
