Let'sGoZips94 Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 6'5" G/F from St. Ignatius. Love seeing the NEO kid stay home. Much like the Columbus duo, not a whole lot out there about RJ in terms of other offers. 2 1 Quote

Zippy87 Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Jashawn Ladd has committed to Akron per his Instagram. 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted August 27 Report Posted August 27 6'4" G from Ben Davis HS in Indiana. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the bigger and better athletic high schools in the state, most recently winning a state title in 2023 for boys' basketball (won the football state title in the same year). No idea on his other offers. Quote

zipinnc Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 I thought I saw a commit on socials somewhere, but I can’t find it now. Anybody else see anything? Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Zips Basketball posted to their FB story a graphic that read, "Welcome Kaleb Khairi." Anybody know anything about this? Several posts on social media pop up but they're all in Arabic. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted Thursday at 12:19 PM Author Report Posted Thursday at 12:19 PM Found this scouting report on Jashawn Ladd. It's from last summer. "The best player on the best team in the 3 Stripes Gold circuit is no doubt Jashawn Ladd from Ben Davis high school in Indiana. Ladd is a long wing that has a nasty crossover, good Jumpshot, and explosive first move to the hole. He often beats guys with his second move, finishing outside the frame of the backboard with great touch. His athleticism is extremely difficult to stay in front of, and his ability to play above the rim made him a fun watch. It was no surprise that Ladd already has a D1 offer from Miami (OH) and will no doubt collect more as his team finished 8-0 in the circuit, qualifying for the 3SSB finals in July. Ladd was a strong piece to an excellent team, who played the right way and coasted through Adidas Gold like it was nothing." 1 Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted Thursday at 11:37 PM Report Posted Thursday at 11:37 PM (edited) Devan Christion- 6'9" F - Vegas Where in the world did this come from? Had offers from George Mason and others, but can't find too much on his recruiting. Looks long and smooth. Edited Thursday at 11:39 PM by Let'sGoZips94 1 Quote
LZIp Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago Seems like another quality overall class. Who are we most excited for? I lean towards Ladd Quote

I lean towards Ladd I honestly don’t know enough about them yet. But the video above of Devan is quite impressive. Is he really 6-9? He sure is skilled and athletic for a young forward. 1 Quote

I lean towards Ladd All of them until proven otherwise. With Devan coming out of nowhere, there's recency bias for me and I'm really intrigued by a 6'9" with his level of athleticism. 6'4" and 6'5" guards though maintain fantastic size in our backcourt and everything about Ladd sounds like he's a real player. St. Iggy to Akron is an awesome pipeline I'd like to keep going. The St. Iggy kid Kent has can shoot so if RJ has the ability to contribute like that as a freshman, look out. We will still have 2 open spots automatically to bring in transfers. This is truly a dynasty being built. Edited 2 hours ago by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
