Brandon Randolph missed last year’s Peach Jam with a broken leg, and now that he’s back and healthy he is on a mission.
“I think we can win the whole thing,” the 6-foot-6 Yonkers, N.Y., native said of the PSA Cardinals, who begin play on Wednesday.
Terrance “Munch” Williams, the program’s director, told SNY.tv he expects about 50 schools to watch his team this week.
Any why not? The Cardinals are loaded with uncommitted 2017 talents like Randolph, point guard Quade Green and 7-footer Mohamed Bamba.
“It’s going to be very exciting,” said Randolph, a teammate of Bamba’s at the Westtown (Pa.) School. “This is my first time playing in Peach Jam because last year I got hurt so I definitely got something to prove.”
A shooting guard with a high upside, Randolph holds offers from a Who’s Who of high-majors, including Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon, Villanova, Arizona, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Kansas and UConn.
“I have 29 offers and they’re all showing me love,” Randolph said.
Randolph plans to trim his list sometime after Peach Jam.
“I’m definitely going to cut my list after Peach Jam,” he said. “Probably like 10.”
As for what he’ll be looking for, Randolph said: “Definitely, academics and a school where I can fit into their basketball system.”
