5-star SF. Jamier Jones chooses Providence over Kansas, Ohio State, LSU, and more.
Jamier Jones, a five-star forward ranked 22nd on the 247Sports composite list of 2025 men’s high school basketball prospects, has committed to Providence.
Jones broke the news to On3’s Joe Tipton on Instagram Live Sunday.
He choose the Friars over Ohio State, Houston, Kansas, LSU, and South Carolina.
Jones, a 6’6″ 210-pound small forward from Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, Florida, told Tipton why he chose Providence over five other schools.
“The loyalty of coach English and the coaching staff,” Jones stated.
“I wouldn’t want to trust any other coaching staff to get me to where I want to be which is the NBA. Everything those guys have been telling me sounds great and I’m just ready to work hard and do what I do to reach my goal!”
Jones also provided a self-scouting report when asked what Providence will be getting when he steps on campus in a year:
“One word: Dog. Literally the dog mentally I play with separates me a lot. I’m a willing passer and love to get my teammates involved. I put pressure on the rim (rim attacker is the best thing I do) and I can knock down shots and it’s only going to get better from here.”
Jones is a massive addition for a Providence team that’s already added 4-star center Erhunmwunse Oswin to its class of 2025. Oswin, who committed to head coach Kim English’s program in January, is ranked No. 24 overall on the 247Sports composite list.
