<p>“I want to go somewhere that feels like home,” McCulloch said in a recent interview with On3. “A place where I can make mistakes on the court but still be allowed to play through them. Style of play will matter, kind of. I really want to go into a system where I can play my game and learn from a coach to be great.”<a href="https://www.on3.com/"></a><a href="mailto:?subject=4-star%20Jesse%20McCulloch%20talks%20visits%3B%20has%20timeline%20in%20mind&body=I%20found%20this%20article%20on%20www.on3.com.%20https://www.on3.com/news/jesse-mccullough-talks-visits-has-timeline-in-mind-michigan-state-indiana-alabama-ohio-state"></a><a href="https://www.on3.com/"></a></p>



<h2 id="h-scouting-report">Scouting Report</h2>



<p>“Jesse McCulloch has a tough mindset. The forward is a good area rebounder and not afraid to get in the mix around the basket. McCulloch has a strong frame, with broad shoulders. His wingspan is is over 7-foot, which allows him to play even bigger. While he may lack pop, he understands positioning. McCulloch is a good shooter with deep range off the catch. He has good balance with his jump shot and a high, soft release. He is a below the rim defender, but understands rotations and angles to be an effective defender. McCulloch was the central figure for a team that won a state championship.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw</p>

<p>McCulloch broke down his own game and discussed who he models his game after in a previous interview with On3. </p>



<p>“I can be a pick-and-roll pick-and-pop threat,” McCulloch told On3. “I’m a big man who can guard and is really good at passing. I’ll watch a lot of <a href="https://www.nba.com/player/203076">Anthony Davis</a>; he’s my favorite player in the league. He can put the ball on the floor; he’s got a jumper and a post-game. He’s just got great skills.”</p>
