Jizzle James 2023 FL PG 6'1 commit

Starting off the night, Jizzle James and his Orlando (Fla.) Olympia team took action and it didn’t take long for the No. 64 overall prospect to get things going.

James and his team got off to a hot start and per usual James was doing his work on both ends of the court. Defensively, James has been one of the toughest on-ball defenders in the country for a while and he was up to his normal disruptive self on that end.

On the offensive end, James was doing it all from getting to the rim, creating for others and also showing an improved jump from mid-range and from three.

He was breaking guys down off the dribble and creating his own shot, which he knocked down effectively on Saturday.

James is down to three schools - LSU, Georgia and Cincinnati - but more on that later.

Here's hoping for some good news. Would love to hear the 5/3 pa announcing Jizzle James! Not to mention seeing his dad wearing UC gear!

It’s a Cincinnati versus Georgia battle for Edgerrin James Jr., and the struggle between the two programs seems to go back and forth with some regularity. Not long ago, UGA looked like the distinct favorite to land James, who the staff has been recruiting since it was coaching at Florida. On the heels of James' weekend visit to Cincy, however, the Bearcats are thought to be the slight leader in the clubhouse.

It’s starting to feel like the Dawgs may need to get the talented guard on campus for a return trip if they hope to swing the momentum back their way and seal the deal, as James visited in July but has not been back since. Should that take place, things will be back up in the air. LSU is also involved, but can’t be taken too seriously until it gets the four-star prospect on campus for an official visit, which is tentatively set for later this fall.

Do we have a timeline on when James announces who he's committing to?

P/ a tweet from Chad, he's targeting a November announcement

[GoBearcats31]

Well, I'd like UC's chances much better if he does not take any further visits ^^^

Per Chad Brendel, James has a visit scheduled to LSU in a couple weeks and may take a trip to GA as well.

The Bearcats felt like they were becoming the slight favorite even before James’ Sept. 25 visit to campus, and that feeling has intensified in the days since the trip concluded. James has long discussed his fit with Wes Miller's style of play and seems to like the emphasis Bearcat fans place on basketball.

There’s no such thing as a lock when it comes to recruiting, but Miller and company should love where they stand in the race to secure James' pledge.

I liked Chad B's idea (heard on a podcast or somewhere) of trying to get a bunch of people to wear Edgerrin James jerseys (or t-shirt versions) to the IU game to show some love to this young man...

James is a MUST if UC is going to be successful in the Big 12!

From Justin Williams ($):
#Bearcats MBB will host a pair of 4-star official visitors on campus this weekend in forward Arrinten Page and point guard Jizzle James. I talked to coaches of each prospect about their game, recruitment, and thoughts on Cincinnati. https://theathletic.com/3615819/2022...shared_article

Interesting note here is that James' AAU coach is a Cincinnati native (and brother of Alicia Reece, current Hamilton County Commissioner)

Between basketball and football, there are going to be a ton of high ranked recruits here this weekend.
