Continue Reading2020 forward Justice Ajogbor from Christ School is one of the top freshman prospects in the state. He plays at Christ School in Asheville, North Carolina for Head Coach Scott Willard, who has coached big men who have made it on to college campuses at a high-level. Willard spent a few years coaching at Miller School in Virginia where he coached recent Georgetown big man transfer Isaac Copeland.
PC: Tri-Cities NewsAjogbor is a native of Sudan and lost both parents at the early age. His only outlet through tough times was basketball. He came to United States as part of the Access to Success foundation which helps underprivileged born players name access to American basketball.
Ajogbor is a 6-foot-9 power forward who has long arms and can disrupt shots and passing lanes. He has the ability to knock down a mid range shot Ajogbor has continues to adapt to the American pace of the game and his footwork is starting to catch up with his body. He has a soft touch around the basket and is skilled for a big man at this age. Ajogbor and Wisdom Asaboro will make for a long front-court. Right now he is ranked in North Carolina as the number four player in the 2018 class. Christ School plays a national schedule and Ajogbor should thrive in that atmosphere.
In a game against Clemson-bound big man Aamir Simms and Blue Ridge School (Va.) Ajogbor showed he is close to being ready to handle playing with higher-level competition. He did not back down against the top-100 ranked Simms and made touches and shots for the big man difficult. He was able to score against Blue Ridge’s big men with his soft touch around the rim.
Justice is going to be a player with a unlimited amount of “potential”, a word that I do not like to use but I think it fits him well. He is only a freshman but is working hard and it is showing off. There has been a drastic change in his play since the start of the season until now. It is just a matter of time before high-major programs start to take notice of the young guy.
