  • Jamari Traylor Planning Visits

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Jamari Traylor, a 6-foot-7 power forward from IMG Academies, will take an official to Oklahoma State Thursday-Saturday, according to IMG coach Andy Borman.

    Traylor will also visit Kansas, though no date has been set.

    He has also visited Indiana.

    St. John’s, Memphis and Mississippi State are also in the mix.

    “He has a tremendous upside,” Borman said. “Jamari has only been playing organized basketball for 3 years…so he is still a little raw with his face-up game, but is probably the best overall athlete in the entire 2011 class. He attacks and defends the rim as well as anyone in our program. He has tremendous hands and finishes extremely well at and around the rim.

    “He is the type of player that plays bigger than his 6-7 frame because he gets off the ground so quickly and plays at the top of the block.

    “Great kid…great character…will give a tremendous boost to any program that he decides to call home next year.”
