Jeremiah Worthem - SF - Math, Civics and Sciences - Philadelphia, PA

Worthem likes Owls. Jeremiah "Lump" Worthem is still leaning toward accepting a scholarship to play at Temple, according to his Math, Civics and Sciences basketball coach, Danny Jackson.

"Temple is like his dream school," Jackson said of the 6-6 junior swingman. "He has some of the bigger [conference] schools offering him. But he wants to stay local.

"Now, if he gets a school like Villanova, I think he might lean toward there."

Rutgers, Rice, St. Joseph's, La Salle, Niagara, Marist, Towson, Baylor, Virginia Commonwealth, and Rider are among the 15 schools that offered Worthem a scholarship.

Jackson said St. John's was close to making an offer. He also said his standout was being recruited by Maryland.

Bottom Line:
Worthem is a tough forward that competes and attacks on both ends of the floor. He gets to the rim and finishes though contact, a good rebounder and capable multiple position defender. Worthem must continue to build is game to be productive as a small forward but has good upside and is a terrific glue guy that just finds a way to help his team.
