Jaemyn Brakefield – PF

Rating: 5-star, #18 Nationally, #4 ranked PF 

Height/Weight: 6’8, 210

Hometown: Huntington, WV

The 6’8” power forward and teammate of Loveday and Slazinski is a high-level prospect that has seen his ranking and offers rise significantly in the past year. Brakefield recently took an unofficial visit to Louisville and expressed positive reviews. Per Jody Demling of Cardinal Authority, he was quoted saying

"“Chris Mack is probably the coolest coach in college basketball. He has a great personality and I love the way he coaches. I really like watching how he coaches his team and that’s why I like Louisville so much.”"

Brakefield demonstrated that he possesses an excellent outside shot and can play above the rim. Classified as a  power forward, he can compete for playing time right way and provide elite depth at both forward spots behind Sutton, Nwora, Williamson and Withers.

Currently, he holds offers from Ole Miss, Louisville, Baylor, and Alabama amongst others, but has received serious interest from Kentucky and Duke.
