toddc 13,194 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Four-star power forward Jahki Howard sets official visit to Auburn JD McCarthy Bruce Pearl and Auburn basketball are set to have another top target on the Plains this weekend. Four-star power forward Jahki Howard is set to officially visit Auburn this weekend, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. Howard is from Boston but currently attends Overtime Elite in Atlanta, putting him right in Auburn’s backyard. He is the No. 78 overall player and No. 28 small forward in the On3 industry ranking. He is also the No. 9 player from Georgia. Checking in at 6-foot-6 and 180 pounds, he is a great athlete who is still growing as a basketball player. His impressive length makes him a disruptive defender. Offensively he is working to improve as a shooter but excels at cutting to the basket and finishing at the rim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See the Amazon OTE show.) Trusting Bruce here. Might be a high-risk, high-reward situation because he can absolutely fly. We’ve struggled a bit lately landing top choice wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I trust Pearl’s evaluation. It’ll just be nice to have another top end wing talent. Skipping over Westry, it’s been a good minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The measurables and the report I’ve gleaned from checking Twitter seems to make me think he has a floor of Devan Cambridge - multi-positional defender, runs the floor well, uses his bounce to be a presence around the rim His quote given to someone stated that they think he’s going to be in the Isaac Okoro mold, which implies a really high level of defensive buy in. I would be happy with a higher offensive ceiling version of either prospect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard is a whole other level of class of athlete than Cambridge. Cambridge is only a up and down athlete. Howard is a great vertical and horizontal athlete. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerfinz 1,363 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 This dude excites me. We need another rim attacking wing. Missed that last year. He seems fearless. The future is quite bright at Auburn 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
