James played HS ball at MSJ (same as incoming freshman Tyler Brelsford) and AAU ball with Team Thrill (same as Chase Paar) so he will have some familiarity with other guys on the team. His nickname is "Church" and Bishop is a Lakers fan. Anyways, this will surely bolster our depth at point guard and Bishop can play the 2 as well which will help. Bishop getting immediate eligibility would be big for sure - the NCAA is currently debating whether to give one-time transfers immediate eligibility which would apply to Bishop. At the very least, he could possibly point to coming back closer to home in his decision to come to GW.

Welcome James! November can't come fast enough.
