Jared Sullinger is currently a Senior at Northland High School in Ohio. As a Junior, Jared was named Ohio's Mr. Basketball for his dominating play, as he averaged about 20 points and 15 rebounds per game, along with some very good play on the defensive end.He plays on the now famous All-Ohio Red AAU team, which was ranked as one of the top teams in the country. Jared had the biggest name on the team, but there were obviously some other great players incuding Aaron Craft, Adreian Payne, J.D. Weatherspoon, and Jordan Sibert. Those four players, like Jared, are all committed to the Ohio State University. In an interview with RealCollegeBasketball.com, when asked if it was always his intent to move on to college with the guys from the All-Ohio Red team, he responded, "Yes, because we had to make chemistry and that's one way to win a national championship is to bring winners in a program." And Jared loved to play for the All-Ohio Red team. According to him, "It was great. Everybody took a role into making us win. A lot of us could of went our seperate ways because a lot of us are used to being the go to man or second (option)... But we did what we did to make it easy for us to win." Sullinger plays the game with a ton of heart. Every loose ball, Jared is on it! He is also an extremely skilled player, able to score the ball at ease. He has a great variety of moves in the post and can drive to score, as well. He scouted himself saying that he is a, "Power player who loves to rebound both ends and can face up on you from the block." He is a very good ball handler for a big man and can shoot the ball well. He attributes that to his two older brothers, J.J. and Julian (Jules). "My brothers molded me into the player that I am today. They were guards coming up. Jules eventually turned into a big. But they helped me handle the ball, be able to shoot and pass. I owe them so much," said Jared. But it is not just recently that Jared burst into the national scene. Oh no, Jared has been receiving a ton of attention from scouts since the 8th grade, when he received his first scholarship, which was from the University of Michigan. In the past few years, various 2010 recruiting rankings would list Jared anywhere scattered in the top 10. Currently, he sits at #2 overall in ESPN.com's rankings and #3 overall in Rivals.com's rankings. Mr. Ohio Basketball 2009 is looking to come back next year stronger than ever and be a McDonald's All-American. Talking about goals, Jared said that he really wants to win another State Championship at Northland High School. He's got all the skills and determination to become a great player at the collegiate and even NBA level, so keep your eye on this kid. Newer news items:
