Jason Crowe Jr., the 6-foot-3 point guard from the Class of 2026, appreciated Tajh Ariza’s dunking skills. On Tuesday, the son of Trevor Ariza shared an Instagram reel with a compilation of his dunks from several high school basketball games. The caption of the post read:
“The hero…”
In response to the post, Jason Crowe Jr. expressed his admiration by leaving a comment:
“here go dat man.”
Previously, Tajh had impressed the hoopers with an exceptional 3-pointer during the Westchester High School game. According to ESPN's recruiting database, Tajh ranks seventh among the top 60 players in the Class of 2026. Among the small forwards, he ranks an outstanding second.
The 6-foot-7 player from Westchester High School has received offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Kansas, UCLA, UNLV and USC. He is yet to commit.
In an interview with 247Sports, Tajh said that he won’t limit his prospects to the West Coast and is willing to move a long distance if that place is a good fit for him.
What are Jason Crowe Jr’s plans for commitment?
The five-star prospect from the Class of 2026 recently impressed everyone with his spectacular performance. In his last week's clash against South Salem at the Capitol City Classic, he contributed 47 points with 60.8% shooting alongside eight steals and six assists.
Inglewood won the game with a massive 112-63. He had consistently performed well and contributed for Inglewood. Over the past two seasons, he has played 65 games for Inglewood. He averages 36.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game.
Moreover, he ranks sixth among the top 60 players of the Class of 2026 and ranks second among the point guards from his class. His standout performances, consistency and skills have earned him offers from top college programs, including Arizona, Kentucky, Louisville, UCLA and Weber State.
Jason Crowe Jr. has not committed yet, but seems to be getting good advice. On Paul Pierce's "Truth Lounge" podcast, he mentioned receiving guidance from NBA stars Jayson Tatum and Russell Westbrook.
He is in regular contact with Tatum, who frequently offers him pointers, while Westbrook mentors him through the program and has helped him refine his game.
