The most underrated recruit in the 2022 class @JabariWestJr1 is on his official visit to @GW_MBB this weekend. S/o to @JamionChristian and @140205_Brown for making it happen. #AlwaysHungry #NeverSatisfied #TheTrojanWay

Welcome Jabari!! He played well during the Las Vegas Big Time event this Summer. I believe his Arkansas Hawks team went 3-0 in those games. He seems pretty athletic for his height and can even hit the three. Fills a need in the frontcourt for sure.

Welcome Jabari ! Seems like a bunch of HM's were kicking the tires but hadn't offered yet. To second what dmvpiranha said I did see he was listed in a prep hoops article about the Vegas tournament. "Las Vegas Big Time Recap: Top 10 Stockrisers". Unfortunately behind a pay wall.

Great news! looks like a very talented addition

As there were two threads in the Recruits area, and none in the main MBKB forum, moved this here. Also, for those who don't actively read the Recruits forum, here's a link to more information on Jabari West, Jr.

GW Hoops » Recruit: Jabari West Jr., Forward, 2022 - Committed to GW!! (boardhost.com)

Glad to see some good news here!

Welcome Jabari!

Here is an article from one year ago

**Posted by Florida Colonial** 9/07/2021 12:25 pm

There are a few more comments in the recruiting thread. But yes the board is slow when there is actual basketball related content. Odd group here

**Posted by jf** 9/07/2021 1:21 pm

Welcome Jabari and family to the GW Colonials family!
Hope the fact that we were the first and only A-10 program to commit to him motivates Jabari to take advantage of this basketball and academic opportunity and be all that he can be at GW.

**Posted by The Dude** 9/07/2021 4:24 pm

It is a little odd isn't it? Hmmm.

Looks like a great addition. 6'8, 3 and D?

First and foremost, congratulations to Jabari and welcome to GW.

As for you board (or is it bored) conspiracy theorists, perhaps the quietness here has nothing to do with the good news of a player providing a verbal agreement, but everything to do with the lack of traffic here stemming from a long holiday weekend immediately followed by a religious holiday for some? Really not so odd when you think about it.

Weekends too quiet here? Maybe some of us post during the week to break up the work day but have better things to do with their weekends?

Or maybe you're right. Maybe we're fuming over the fact that a player provided an early agreement to play for GW. Because that makes all of the sense in the world.

And now, the conspiracy theorists shall likely continue...

**Posted by Joel Joseph** 9/08/2021 2:48 pm

Here's my theory -
For the last 4-5 years we have sucked. Most of our long time posters who provided great info have left. With the few GW fans left who visit this site, only a handful (6-8) post regularly. Then there's the 2 who post 5-10 times a day. That's why there's very little going on with this board right now.

As we get closer to the start of the season we should start getting more info from the likes of Rising and others who have relevant info to share and discuss.

Until then, Raise High everyone!

Welcome to GW. Seems like a good player to take a risk on before he blows up. Hope he loves it here and gets to contribute early on.

Welcome now officially to Jabari and family to our GW Colonial family!
Looks pretty solid. If he can play big and rebound and defend, he can't come to GW soon enough.

**Posted by BM** 4/04/2022 7:37 pm

Senior year highlights he just posted. Say 6’7” F. Seems very active with decent fundamentals.
