Jah'lil Jenkins is one of South Carolina's craftiest playmakers. The 6'1" guard from Blythewood, South Carolina, is entering his junior season at Westwood High School after playing a reserved role on the program's first-ever state championship team under head coach Trent Robinson. This summer, Jenkins competed with Upward Stars Columbia, showcasing his shifty playmaking ability and shot-making versatility. His change of pace and ability to attack different angles make him a difficult matchup for any defender tasked with staying in front of him. He possesses excellent shooting mechanics, with a strong lower-body rise and balance, proving himself to be a reliable catch-and-shoot threat from beyond the arc while also displaying an effortless mid-range pull-up. His long, tight crossover is his bread and butter, allowing him to read defenders, create separation, and get to his spots. Jenkins plays with excellent pace out of the pick-and-roll, never rushing the action and allowing the defense to react before finding his mid-range jumper or delivering a sharp pass to his roller or an open shooter. He also uses an impressive burst of speed to get downhill, combining excellent concentration and body control to finish around the rim with either hand from a variety of angles. Defensively, Jenkins is a high-motor guard who consistently brings intensity and effort on that end of the floor. His quick feet and long, active arms make him a difficult matchup for opposing ball handlers, showing all the tools to develop into a strong perimeter defender. With an increased role expected this season, look for Jenkins to play a major part on a talented Westwood roster with aspirations of returning to the state championship game in March @JahlilJen86062@TrentRob15@_dariusyork@_eatmysneaks@UpwardStarsCola@SavageHoopsSC@AndrewBaxleySC

One more York County stop for the day: Nation Ford High School. Two elite sophomore guards will run the show for them this year, but theyโve always got some size and shooting coming through the pipeline as well.

Getting familiar with another new-look program, Catawba Ridge. Itโs year one for them under Head Coach Andrew Griggs, and theyโve got a lot of solid players ready to contribute including a few with pretty high ceilings.
