Why Findlay Fits

Findlay's guard recruiting over the last five classes maps almost exactly onto Jordan's profile: 6'1"–6'3" combo guards from Ohio high schools with 15+ PPG senior seasons and limited AAU exposure. The staff has signed three such guards since 2022 — two earned starting roles by their sophomore year. The system plays two ball-handlers and asks the off-guard to score off the catch, which matches Jordan's efficiency profile (47% FG) better than a pure point-guard role would. Where Jordan separates from the guards they've passed on is…

Why Ashland Fits

Ashland recruits guards at Jordan's exact size — 6'1"–6'3" is the staff's clear preference (7 of the last 9 guard signings) — and the offense asks its second guard to do precisely what Jordan already does: attack closeouts, finish through contact, and keep the turnover count low. His 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio would have ranked second among their guards last season. The open question for this staff will be…

Jordan's transition scoring (31% of his points come on the break) is the exact skill this system amplifies, and his conditioning numbers suggest he can sustain their pace. What he'd need to prove in a deep guard room is…
