2008 PROSPECT: Jay plays AAU for Michigan Select.  He moved from the D.C. area where he played at DeMatha H.S. It appears that Miami has become interested in Jay during the July 2007 evaluation period.  Averaged a double-double as a Junior (21ppg/10rpg).  Jay can play all 3 front court positions and is considered a “step-out” forward.  Miami, along with Michigan, Michigan State, Va. Tech, Clemson, WV and others have been following him around this summer.  He has an offer from Central Michigan. Bradley, Eastern Michigan, Oakland and Western Michigan.  Here’s a Prepspotlight.com scouting report:

I came into the event having watched Thames more than any scout in the state and I was almsot convinced he was a 4 man.  That was until I saw him knock down deep jumper after deep jumper and put the ball on the floor with skill & polish.  Think more skilled Brian Randle of Illinois.  The kid has a world of potential.
