4-Star SG Jasiah Jervis sets first two official visits; opens up on where things stand with Illinois, Rutgers, Northwestern & Pittsburgh
On3's Jamie Shaw caught up with four-star shooting guard Jasiah Jervis to discuss the latest with his recruitment, visits, and upcoming plans.
Jasiah Jervis is On3’s No. 55-ranked player in the 2026 class. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard will enter his senior year at White Plains (NY) Archbishop Stepinac. He is currently averaging 16.3 points on 36.1 percent shooting from three for the 10-1 NY Rens program on Nike’s EYBL Circuit.
“My game is an all-around shooting guard,” Jervis told On3. “I am a two-way player, I take pride on the defensive end, that is the most important thing to be, stopping the opposing team’s best player. I can play off the dribble, on or off the ball, and I can make shots.”

“I have official visits set with Rutgers and Northwestern,” Jervis said. “I am talking with Illinois and Pittsburgh about dates, as well.”
Jervis breaks down Rutgers & Northwestern
RUTGERS: “They have been very involved with my recruitment, starting during my sophomore year. Every time I finish a game, I get a text from one of the coaches. When I took an unofficial there, it felt like a family. They welcomed me with open arms, and it was just great there. Seeing Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper working out, those are two pros, and one day I want to be like them. I will visit them on October 17.”NORTHWESTERN: “They’ve won, but they’re also really good academically. My parents always tell me that it’s not always about basketball; books are good, too. I like their guard play and Coach (Shane) Southwell, he is from New York, too, loves my game, and I’m going to get on campus soon. I have a visit with them on August 1.”

ILLINOIS: “I love their guard play, the freedom they get to make plays. The coaches always tell me how much they love how I play and that I’m a dog. They want to recruit me hard, and they want to get me on campus.”PITTSBURGH: “Coach (Jeff) Capel offered me, and we’ve been connected ever since then, along with the assistant coach. I played against Bub (Carrington) in high school, so I watched him play a few times at Pittsburgh to keep up with him. He’s a good player, and I saw what they did with him.”
In his words
“I hear a good amount from Michigan, USF, and some other schools, as well,” Jervis said. “Once Peach Jam is done (July 14-20), that’s when I plan on taking my visits. Right now, the plan is to sign during the November period.“I want to go to a school that is going to push me to become a pro. Play for a coach that I trust, and that I know is going to keep it real with me. I will go to a school that I know really wants me. A lot of schools will tell you what you want to hear and end up recruiting over you. I won’t really look at a team’s style of play, I can play on the ball or off the ball, but I will look at what their plan is for me individually.”
