Pundits often state with respect
to basketball; that “none of it matters until high school” – well Jaden
Springer is making the most of his opportunity when it matters. How impressive a start to high school has
Jaden Springer had? In short he has been
so impressive that NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson even decided to come out and
see what all of the buzz was about.
Springer who now stands 6’4 and
growing; we still project him to reach the 6’7 to 6’9 range is currently playing
the same position as “AI” himself.
Starring at Charlottes Rocky River High School for Coach Jermaine Walker
in Charlotte, NC his team is off to its best start in years at 4-0. Springer who actually has a year of varsity under
his belt already where he averaged 18ppg as an 8th grader; has added
so much to his game in terms of skill set he has moved from Top 10 to Top 5 in
the country and is vying for billing as the top freshman in the country. He is now dropping 25+ppg, his team is
winning, and frankly his Coach Jermaine Walker still hasn’t fully let the big
dog off his chain. Springer is pumping in
25+ per night often times sitting him for periods of 10 to 12 minutes. and this doesn't take into account the abundance of rebounds, steals, and assist he is collecting. Springer
likely would be pumping in 30 to 35 a night had he been given the minutes. Coach Walker still seems to be learning what
to do with his weapon of mass destruction and Hall of Famers, NBA players,
College Scouts and Coaches, and rumor has it some people even higher up than
that are waiting anxiously for him just let the kids play.
Springer continues to work
extremely hard and displays a non-stop motor regardless of the accolades. Jaden’s last 4-months consisted of an
invitation to the UA Elite 24 game where he proceeded to win the MVP Award,
P2BBall.com named him the #4 player in the world in the class of 2020, USA
Basketball invited him to Colorado Springs for the Olympics Trails – a team
P2bball.com believes he will ultimately make.
Multiple colleges are showing interest and Kansas University, a blue
blood, amongst others - have physically come to visit the freshman sensation at
his school. With a formal offer already
on the table from New Mexico State, confirmed by Verbal Commits expect a plethora
of more in short order as the season continues.
Our predictors is that this
prospect is so appealing as a pure basketball player with a high floor and
ceiling; that unlike in many cases where interest is built during the summer,
Springer will garner attention from several institution before he steps foot
onto the shoe circuit this summer.
