At 6-foot-6 and just shy of 200 lbs., Jermaine Samuels has earned the second glances that he received from college coaches during his noteworthy high school career.
The 4-star small forward excelled in his home state of Massachusetts, graduating from The Rivers School this past spring. His defense is most praised, with reports throughout his young career describing the ease of which he picks the ball from the competition, changing the tide of a game in a heartbeat, and surprising many with his athleticism.
Throughout high school, Samuels performed best as a small forward, but could potentially fill a few different roles for the Wildcats, especially as the needs of the new team are realized over the course of the year.
