The DC/Maryland area is Antwon Jackson's specialty. Would be a nice pick up even if a small guard. I just want a play making PG.

Devan Downey was pretty good, had he stayed. lol.

Would be an awesome pickup though. 3 or 4 stars on every site I'm seeing. Being highly praised for his shooting and passing. Top 100 player per most sites. Any more info would be great.

The only thing I've gathered that's holding him back from an even higher ranking is his height. Would probably be a no doubter top 50ish guy if he was a couple inches taller. His play-making abilities are special though. His shot is good but could always get better.

And he is a great kid and student. He has around a 4.0 and takes multiple honors classes.

I know its early, but is there any way he commits any time soon?

Only a guess but I'd say it's definitely possible he could commit relatively soon. He gave his top two schools and already unofficially visited both.

This was written about a month ago: "Along with both Ohio schools, he is being tracked by USC, Cornell, Stanford, Memphis, South Florida and others. Jenifer is undecided if he will end his recruitment early or wait it out for other schools."
 
If he's as good as Brian Flinn (Future150) thinks he is, then I'd love for him to commit.

#60 overall in 2015 class
12th best PG

Scout's Notes:
Justin has shown extreme growth in his game. He has ball-handling skills that will rival just about any other point guard in his class. He also has a sturdy body and uses that to his advantage when attacking the basket and finishing plays. Also a very unselfish player who thrives off getting teammates open shots. Solid defender.

Strengths:
Athleticism, Ball-Handling, Changing Pace, Upper Body Strength, and High Basketball IQ

Note from September:
He was relentless in attacking the rim and showed off his shooting stroke as well. He is super quick in the open floor and looked to push the pace when given the chance. Jenifer might not have the best size for his position but there is no denying how efficient he is on the offensive end.

He's definitely a good student like bearcat18 mentioned:

“It’s not just about basketball. It’s about academics also,” he said.

His coach Mike Silverman said he’s the kind of student-athlete that gets to school at 6 a.m. to practice shooting before going back to being a student between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Jenifer can do it all: dribble, pass, shoot.

“My dad has been pushing me since I was about 4 … now that I’m older I have to push myself,” Jenifer said.

By the numbers, Jenifer boasts some pretty impressive stats: averaging 17 points a game and 12 assists. But his classroom stats are just as impressive, sporting a 3.8 GPA and a QPA of 4.615 in honors courses.

“Without academics, I’m not getting to college,” he said.

So, what are his top two schools?
 
MilfordMillBBall @MMABasketball: Congrats to Justin Jenifer on being named Baltimore County Player of the Year and 1st Team All County! #millerpride
 
@MarcusHelton from DMV Elite
Team Takeover 2015 PG Justin Jenifer (Milford Mill) said he's narrowed his top 3 to Cincinnati, Providence and Texas Tech. #DMVhoops
 
Glad to hear he's still high on us. Has he said when he plans to make a decision? Over the summer would be nice. It's comforting to go into the school year knowing you've got at least one great player coming in.
 
Saw that, so I checked the old Twitter. Just thought that update was worth adding to it. Not sure when Providence and Texas Tech came into play though.

Looks like the 2015 pg spot could be filled by Evans or Jenifer both have cut list but probably a better shot of landing Jenifer

In a video about a year ago, Jenifer was saying Kentucky, Syracuse, and Louisville. I also saw there was stuff about him from 8th grade. I don't know too much about him, but did he peak early or not get any taller? Or is he still a top notch prospect? That final 3 just seems to be a long way from what it was a year ago.
