Future Spartans

The Verbal Commits site has the following prospects in the San Jose State University recruitment pipeline. But do keep in mind that names of suitors are not removed there until an actual signing happens even though the wooing between a school and a prospect may have actually ended months ago:

PG
James Akinjo 2018 Link

SG
Naseem Gaskin 2018 Link
Austin Galuppo 2018 Link
Jamario Bibb 2018 Link
Ryan Langborg 2019 Link

SF
Andre Kelly 2018 Link
Deon Stroud 2019 Link

PF
Kenneth 'Kenny' Wooten, Jr. 2017 Link
Michael Wang 2018 Link
Mason Forbes 2018 Link

It's interesting that each is a California resident. The need to search elsewhere has diminished as has the budget to sign out-of-state prospects.

At the point James Akinjo would be a solid get even though he measure 5-foot-10. His competitiveness and will to better his game stand out.

Each of the shooting guard prospects is interesting because none have yet to exhibit the ability to take over games. Ryan Langbord, who has a brother playing at Pt. Loma Nazarene in San Diego, is currently the best shooter with Austin Galuppo right up there too. Naseem Gaskin is being monitored for greater consistency while Jamario Bibb remains more slasher than outside shooter.

Andre Kelly should officially be shifted to power forward as his bulk relates to that position and it looks like he is continuing to inch upward.

Kenny Wooten Jr. isn't coming to SJSU so take him off the list. Kansas seems to be his frontrunner right now.

Michael Wang's offensive game is intriguing but there are questions about his athleticism. Is he a faceup four?

Mason Forbes has the best hair of anyone in high school ball (hit that link above), a great motor and the ability to pick new elements up quickly.

There are certainly other talents being watched and we'll try to cover those as additional names come to light.
