High-major schools are watching G3 All-Indy guard Amhad Jarrard (2022) more and more as July develops. Indiana Basketball Source spoke to Jarrard about the high-majors watching him, the campus visits he took in June, and more.

Since entering high school, Jarrard’s potential has stood out. His game turned a corner in the last few months where D1 schools started offering, and now Big Ten and Big East schools are expressing interest. He began to excel as a playmaker, defender, and scorer. His recruitment is developing quickly.

“I’ve been talking to Xavier and Butler, and I see Purdue most of the games,” Jarrard said of his new power conference interest.

“They (Purdue) haven’t really talked to me at all, really, but I’m hoping they reach out in the next couple of weeks.

“I watch them a lot. They play hard, and Coach Painter is a good coach.”

Jarrard sports offers from IUPUI, Coastal Carolina, Illinois-Chicago, Wright State, Southeast Missouri State, and Miami of Ohio. However, he told Indiana Basketball Source that UIC, Wright State, SEMO, and Xavier reach out to him the most. Xavier will watch Jarrard and G3 All-Indy on Sunday at the Grassroots Showdown.

Jarrard visited UIC, Ball State, and SEMO in June.

On the SEMO visit: “The campus is big, and Coach Korn is a good head coach. Coach (Keith) Pickens, he’s good. He’s been hitting me up a lot.

On his Ball State visit: “They’ve got a big stadium and big school. After the visit, I haven’t really talked to them like that.”

On UIC: “All their coaches love me; I like that.”

The rising senior reports that all of the schools view him as a combo guard and two-way player. Jarrard also said he thinks most of the more prominent schools want to see him shoot the ball well. He took a step in the direction of proving that on Friday night. Jarrard shot well against Griffin Elite.

With the way Jarrard’s development and recruitment have transpired, it seems like a high-major offer will head the mix sooner rather than later. As a big, athletic guard, programs are enthusiastic about his potential and what his game could look like under their supervision. The following two weeks will determine if power conferences enter the fray or not.
