Jamari Wheeler was committed to the Duquesne Dukes for most of the 2017 recruiting year. In March of 2017, former Duqane coach and current Penn State assistant Jim Ferry was relieved of his duties with the Dukes, which resulted in Wheeler decommitting from the program. What also happened was wheeler seeing his stock rise, as programs like Auburn, Seton Hall, and South Florida offered the recently-decommitted recruit, along with Penn State. Ferry wasn’t yet hired at Penn State when Jamari committed to the program, but one would assume the possibility may have been brought up when those conversations happened.
