If you thought Jameel McKay was good last season, you better watch out this year.

The 6-foot-9-inch forward will suit up from the jump in 2015-16 instead of becoming eligible midseason like last year per transfer rules. And he will do so with 15 pounds of added muscle on his frame.

Besides being available for the entire season and having an improved physique, McKay will enter the season with plenty of motivation.

McKay took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with individual player rankings from various preseason magazines and websites.

I’m glad the season starting I get tired of reading about players that supposed to b good or better than me it’s go time where talk is cheap

He continued in an additional Tweet.

Lol I even seen me not listed as top 50 defender in country like how is that even possible but it’s always been this way

McKay felt overlooked, disrespected and snubbed. Now he’s going to use that as motivation. And he has something to say to those who snubbed him.

“I’d say, thank you,” McKay said. “I just put it like this: They can write what they want to write even if I don’t believe it all the time. It’s up to me to go out and show them.

“I’m one of those people who is really competitive, and if I feel like I’m better than someone, I’ll let it be vocally known, and I’m ready to show people more of what I can do this year.”

That’s a scary thought for opponents. McKay averaged 11 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game last season after becoming eligible Dec. 20 because of transfer rules.

What’s scarier is that McKay only started 12 of his 25 games last season, meaning his numbers could improve with more playing time and an increased role.

“That’s a big deal,” said teammate Naz Mitrou-Long about McKay being snubbed. “[McKay] is not shy about it at all. He’ll express that on social media, and that’s just how he really feels. He feels like he’s one of the best players in the country, and I’m going to back him on that. I think he is as well.”

Fellow teammate Georges Niang also expects big things from McKay and noted his consistent work ethic in the gym throughout the offseason.

“[McKay] has done really good over the summer,” Niang said.

McKay being eligible for the entire season, him feeling “10 times more prepared” for this season than last season and added motivation from what he perceives as a personal snubbing spells good things for ISU fans.

“People think that I did good last year,” McKay said. “Well, you can expect a lot better of a year from me this year.

“And that’s a promise.”
