A lot of people may be learning the name Jordan Agyemang (South Bronx Prep ’19) very soon as the 6’6″ wing who led his Cougars team to the PSAL Class B Championship will now be heading up to Glens Falls for this coming weekends NYS Federation Tournament of Champions.
Once there, Agyemang’s first test will be Glens Falls led by high scoring guard
III ’19 as South Bronx Prep will be taking on the Indians in Saturday’s semifinals in what promises to be a sold-out crowd at the Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls.
It’s Agyemang’s chance to showcase that Girard isn’t the only high scoring potent shot maker on the court on Saturday as he has averaged 28 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists a game this season as the still uncommitted Agyemang will look to continue to bolster his stock for those coaches in attendance.
There aren’t many with the skill set of Agyemang if you are to ask his coach at South Bronx Prep in Paul Campbell. Having seen a lot of players in his day on the H.S. and AAU scenes, Campbell says there is a lot to Agyemang’s game that makes him very special.
“Jordan is a two-way player who is a versatile 6’6″ and is super athletic. He puts defense first as you saw today too as he had 10 blocks,” Campbell said this past Wednesday after the Cougars PSAL Class B semifinal victory. “Offensively though he plays the game at his pace and is such a sponge because he wants to learn and keep getting better every day.”
Displaying an excellent pull up jumper off the dribble, Agyemang is also excellent at attacking the basket and finishing above the rim as he is as bouncy a player as they come and should only continue to develop more and more with his every improving long range jumper coming together as well.
According to Campbell, Agyemang has a handful of Division 2 offers along with some Division 1 interest though Campbell didn’t want to name the schools who are in the mix right now, though with the chance to be playing Glens Falls this weekend, a good game there in front of what should be many college coaches on hand, things could blow up even more for the talented wing.
Wherever he ends up Campbell says he is very excited for Agyemang’s future as players like him have become fewer and fewer these days he believes, with Agyemang just scratching the surface of the player he believes he can be.
“He fits the mold for what colleges want with his length and his size and his ability to do so many different things well,” Campbell said. “He’s a diamond in the rough and someone is really going to get a major steal.”
