London Jemison, a top-40 player in the Class of 2025, has cut his list to Kansas, Alabama, Syracuse, Virginia, Vanderbilt and Louisville, he confirmed to ZAGSBLOG Monday.
The 6-foot-7 forward out of St. Thomas More (CT) and Expressions Elite AAU has been one of the fastest risers this spring, and has scheduled new official visits to Kansas (Aug. 29-31) and Vanderbilt (Aug. 23-25). The Jayhawks are Jemison’s most recent offer after a successful Nike EYBL Peach Jam.
His visit list is as follows: Vanderbilt (Aug. 23-25), Kansas (Aug. 29-31), Alabama (Sept. 6-9), Louisville (Sept. 13-15) and Virginia (Sept. 27-29).
He previously had a visit setup with Notre Dame, but has since cancelled with the Irish not making his top-six.
Jemison broke down some of his options to ZAGSBLOG at Peach Jam:
Alabama: “[I’m looking forward to] seeing their play style, how they practice and how they prepare. I like the coaching staff a lot, they recruit me really well. Coach Preston [Murphy], I have a great relationship with him. I definitely like their play style a lot and how they like to play their freshmen.”
Louisville: “I know coach Pat Kelsey has a really good résumé. He had a good year last year and I’m excited to see what he’ll do the next few years at Louisville.”
Kansas: “I’d say the coaching staff has done a good job recruiting me. Play style-wise, they’ve always had good, big, wings in the past and see me as a pro-style wing who can push the ball and shoot it.”
Syracuse: “Coach Red [Autry] and coach Gerry McNamara were there, it was a great official. I got to see them play live, they have a great play style: they play free, shoot, play fast. The facilities and campus were nice, it was fun for sure.”
He is ranked the No. 58 overall prospect in the 2025 class by 247Sports and the No. 2 player in Connecticut.
“I think I’m a high level wing,” Jemison said. “I can do multiple things, shoot, pass, dribble, create, rebound pretty well too, run the floor. I’m just a versatile wing that can guard one-through-four. I can do whatever you need on the court, bringing whatever coach needs for sure.”
