Jarad Scott Signs NLI with Winthrop University

CONGRATULATIONS to Jarad and family!!!!

Jarad Scott signs National Letter of Intent with Winthrop


#SCELITE

With a few signatures, Jarad Scott made it official.  He’s a Winthrop Eagle.

The Lumberton native and senior at Flora Macdonald Academy signed a scholarship offer and national letter of intent Wednesday afternoon to continue his basketball career at Winthrop University, a Division I program in Rock Hill, S.C.

Surrounded by teammates and family members, Scott, a 6-foot-8 forward, set plans in stone at his school after verbally committing to Winthrop coach Pat Kelsey last month.

“It’s just exciting,” Scott said. “I’m at a loss for words.”

After receiving Scott's faxed LOI, Kelsey called himself the “happiest coach in America.”
“I knew when I laid eyes on that kid that I had to coach him,” Kelsey said, praising Scott’s character and ability.

“He’s got a very unique blend of size, skills, and toughness,” he said. “Obviously he’s got the physical attributes and tools, in terms of his length and his size, but for a young man of that size, he’s got a very high skill level. He can shoot the ball from the perimeter, he’s got a very good back-to-basket game. He can do a lot of different things for his size.”

Jared Scott Commits to Winthrop University




Nice pickup for Winthrop last night. 6'8 big man Jarad Scott of Flora MacDonald. Like his upside in the Big South.

Winthrop nabs big man Jarad Scott


Published: March 22, 2013
By Bret McCormick — bmccormick@heraldonline.com
Winthrop men’s basketball has nabbed a needed big man with its final scholarship for the 2013-14 season. Jarad Scott, a     
6-foot-8, 220-pound forward from Red Springs, N.C., committed to play for the Eagles and coach Pat Kelsey on Wednesday night.
“They recruited me really hard,” said Scott on Thursday. “Coach Kelsey and his resume and the places he’s coached, and he’s good at coaching my position, made me want to go to Winthrop.”
ESPN recruiting guru Dave Telep indicated that Scott was Winthrop’s priority after the Eagles signed two guards in the early signing period. The commitment, which will become an official signing on April 16, is a nice get for Kelsey and his staff. Scott had offers from High Point, Charlotte, Appalachian State, Marshall, Old Dominion, Saint Louis, St. Bonaventure and Tennessee Tech. Clemson, Oklahoma State, Temple, Syracuse and Miami (Fla.) were a couple of the high-major programs also sniffing around the 6-foot-8 stretch post man.
Scott rose to prominence two years ago, helping Flora MacDonald Academy to the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association 1A state title, though that championship was vacated last year when the school was investigated for undisclosed violations. Scott averaged 17 points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks per game for the school last season.
He was starring on the AAU circuit for South Carolina Elite last summer when Winthrop’s staff initially spotted him at a Myrtle Beach tournament in July.
Telep said in an email Thursday “He’s a legit mid-major prospect and was Winthrop’s top big man target this year. Excels in running the floor and he’s got a knack for tracking down rebounds.”
Scott joins a Winthrop post group that includes returning players James Bourne (6-foot-9), Larry Brown (6-foot-6) and Steve Johnson (6-foot-7). The Eagles already have 6-foot-8 Chukwudubem “Duby” Okeke, from Jonesboro, Ga., signed to join the team next season too. Telep thinks that Kelsey has got a guy in Scott who can play right away.
“My take on him following last summer was that he was a late bloomer. Winthrop locked in on this kid, made him a priority and sweat it out. He may start four years.”
Scott’s ability to stretch the defense with his long-range shooting should make him effective in the Big South Conference, a league largely devoid of traditional post players.

YOU NEVER KNOW
You never know when someone
might catch a dream from you.
Or something you say may open up the windows
of a mind that seeks light;
The way you live may not matter at all,
But you never know, it might.
And just in case it could be
that another’s life, through you,
might possibly change for the better
with a better and brighter view,
it seems it might be worth a try
at pointing the way to the right;
Of course, it may not matter at all,
but then again, it might.
