According to Tee Morant, 13 Division I programs made official courtships for Ja, including Frank Martin's South Carolina Gamecocks.

I know rankings aren't the end all but he wasn't even rated and from that article played for a less known AAU team without a shoe company backing them.


if all that story is true about him (being that good in AAU with Zion) he should have played for a much better AAU team.
