One of the premier names at this year’s Virginia Phenom 150, 2021 6’4 Jaden House was one of the prospects that stole the show, as he showed a tremendous upside with a blend of length, size, and ability to control the action on the floor.
House’s move to Middleburg Academy has been going well so far, as he has been able to showcase his array of skills on the court and it seems to be paying off.
“I’ve definitely shown more range on my jumper, being able to shoot from farther outside the three,” House told Phenom Hoops. “And my role has been just being a leader, making sure that the team stays together all throughout the game.”
Already holding multiple offers, House received word that another program would be joining in his recruitment, an offer that certainly felt good receiving. Assistant coach Akbar Waheed from Georgetown had been expressing interest in House for some time and on December 21, the Hoyas pulled the trigger and offered.
“(It) felt good to get this one because of the way they play and just the atmosphere of Georgetown basketball,” House replied. “They just said that they want to get me on the campus as soon as possible and that they love my game with me being a strong guard and can play both the 1 or the 2.”
Georgetown now joins his list of offers that also include James Madison, Old Dominion, Stetson, Howard, and Mount St. Mary’s, with each one saying different things from each staff. However, all of them absolutely love the “dog mentality” that House possesses on the court.
As far as visits, House has already visited Howard twice and Old Dominion once.
“Old Dominion was great because it was really in-depth and helped me understand a lot about how the program is run,” he said. “I liked Howard because the coaching staff was relatable and they expressed how they can help me get to where I want to be.”
As far as Georgetown, he has plans on making a visit soon along with a hopeful visit to James Madison as well. House looks to make a visit to the Hoyas when he gets back to school.
House also mentioned that schools like Virginia Tech, Clemson, Richmond, and VCU have also expressed interest.
