Scout Report
Standing at 7'0 tall with another year of high school development ahead, this towering prospect from Pennsylvania is beginning to turn heads on the recruiting circuit.
Background
Jamal Hamidu suits up for Father Judge High School in Pennsylvania, competing as part of the Class of 2027. The young big man has been making steady progress in his development, showcasing his potential during key matchups. His journey through the prep ranks has been marked by consistent growth as he continues to harness his impressive physical tools.
Playing Style
At 7'0, Hamidu brings legitimate size to the paint that immediately changes the complexion of any game. His developing skill set shows flashes of potential as he continues to refine his footwork and post positioning. The young center is still growing into his frame, but his presence in the lane creates natural advantages on both ends of the floor. As he adds strength and polish to his game, his ability to alter shots and finish around the rim should continue to improve significantly.
Recruitment
Currently without reported scholarship offers, Hamidu represents the type of developmental big man that college programs love to identify early. His combination of size and upside makes him an intriguing long-term project for coaches willing to invest in his growth. As he continues his prep career, expect his recruitment to heat up as more programs discover his potential and physical gifts.

Carter, a sophomore point guard standing at 6’7”, possesses all the traits you’d like to see in a future high-major guard and is a name to monitor over the next https://t.co/MyuHGSH0Og
