Iowa basketball makes top six schools for four-star point guard

IOWA CITY — Iowa basketball made the top six schools for four-star point guard TJ Jamison.

Jamison’s list consists of Iowa, USC, Oklahoma, Baylor, LSU and Miami (Fla.).

Jamison plans to announce his decision on Saturday, July 25th.

Jamison, who attends Calvary Baptist Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana, is ranked 36th nationally in the 2027 high school recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

“I pretty much do everything on the court,” Jamison said of his skillset. “I can shoot the ball very well. I can get to the paint, make other guys better. I can finish at the rim. I can play defense, pick up 94 (feet). I do everything.”

The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder took a visit to Iowa in June.

“I didn’t really know much about the program until Ben (McCollum) and them really got there,” Jamison told the Register in May. “But once they started recruiting me, I started looking at their background. Coach Ben has a winning background — any program he’s been at. The way he develops his guards and stuff like that. They have a really good culture there (that) they’re building.”

Jamison said of the important factors in his decision-making process: “A family-like program, being away from home. A coach that’s going to stay on me hard, tell me the truth. And a coach also that’s going to trust in me, coming in as a freshman, to lead their team and give me the keys.”

Iowa currently has one commitment in its 2027 recruiting class. Versatile 6-foot-10 Keller Daugherty is a four-star prospect and ranked 88th nationally in the class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
