Hinds’ Recruitment Picks Up

After an excellent summer in which Jabarie Hinds cemented himself as one of the top guards in New York City from the class of 2011, he is seeing his recruitment increase quickly.

Hinds, a 5-11 point guard from Mt. Vernon (N.Y) who played with the Westchester Hawks for AAU ball over the past few months, picked up three new offers as well as increased interest from a variety of schools.

“I got 3 new offers,” Hinds stated in an e-mail message, adding Wake Forest, St. John’s and South Carolina to his previous list of James Madison, UNLV, Virginia, Louisville, Oklahoma State and Seton Hall.

Furthermore, Hinds also has interest from Ohio State, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, West Virginia “and more.”

He also added that he will likely have a list of favorites sometime soon.
