Ambrose missed half the season this winter and played at less than 100 percent at times. He’s now playing for Gain Elite and head Coach Sean Whitlock.
“I say this to people all the time,” Whitlock said. “(Jamal) reminds me of John Thomas at the same stage but a better shooter but not quite the rebounder just yet. Similar demeanor, athleticism, body style and upside.
“Kind of that just scratching the surface at this age feel “boy if keeps progressing. He could be really really good.” Like John Thomas. Way more athletic jumping wise than it looks like. Just needs to unlock it. Picture perfect stroke from three. The type of form that allows a kid to be a great high percentage shooter.
“Comparison in today’s world. Boogie Cousins type of game without the attitude. He is one of the best kids you could be around, soft spoken, loving, like John Thomas.”
College programs seem to like the potential of Jamal as calls are coming in, and some of those schools will be at the MBCA event tomorrow to see Jamal.
“ Jamal Ambrose Jamal Ambrose 6'10" | C East View | 2022 State MN has heard from North Dakota State, UC Davis, Virginia Tech, Colgate, Illinois, Harvard, and Princeton,” Whitlock said.
