Jordan Goldwire

Playing his high school ball in Norcross, GA, Jordan Goldwire gained interest from the likes of UNLV, Rice, and Arizona State, among others, for his three-point shooting and adept passing.

He will backup Duval and will be worth keeping an eye on for the future. His height doesn’t set him apart (6-2), but he has speed, makes smart plays with the ball, and is a valuable catch-and-shoot option off the inbounds or unsettled play.

While he failed to make the ESPN Top 100, he possesses the skills necessary to succeed in NCAA basketball, and it can’t hurt that his High School team was the Norcross Blue Devils, right?
