LAS VEGAS – Jamarion Sharp probably have one of the most intriguing recruiting stories of all time.

While Sharp was a high school junior in Hopkinsville, KY, Western Kentucky coach Rick Stansbury was attending one of Sharp’s game, but was only there to scout another player. Sharp, however, got the attention of Stansbury during pre-game warmups, but didn’t play in the first half of that game.

That’s when things got interesting.

“During halftime of the game, Rick Stansbury came up to my coach (Tim Haworth) and he told him to come work me out during halftime so he could see what I can do,” Sharp said.
