30 in 30 Top 250 Edition: Jared Billups
We’re just a few days away from the upcoming Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo at Park School in Baltimore, which is set for this Saturday, September 21. On the 22nd, the Top 250 Expo will travel back to Virginia where it will take place at Riverbend High School. In anticipation of the upcoming expos in the area, we’re in the process of highlighting 30 prospects who benefited respectively from last year’s local showcases. Today, we take a look at 2021 forward Jared Billups of McDonogh.
PRE-CAMP
Billups really made a name for himself during the spring and summer with Team BBC 15’s. He was selected for the Super 80 Showcase in Baltimore and had already received interest from the likes of Mount St. Mary’s prior to last year’s expo.
DURING CAMP
The first thing that stood out about Billups was his non-stop motor. He was flying all over the court on both ends and took pride in playing defense. As the day progressed, Billups only became more dominant, and was ultimately one of the biggest standouts of the event.
POST-CAMP
Billups would go on to have a breakout sophomore season. He was an integral part of McDonogh’s success, and will continue to be moving forward. Right now, Billups is being actively recruited by a handful of division one programs. Schools like Loyola (MD) and UMass-Lowell have already offered, but that list should continue to grow.
