. Jordan Ash made a lot of headlines last summer, playing a significant role on the Illinois Wolves’ under-15 team before ever stepping foot in high school. Now that he has a year at St. Joseph’s under his belt, the rising sophomore combo guard’s play on the club circuit isn’t such a novelty anymore. But it hasn’t been anything short of stellar – and at times tiring. “You got to give Jordan a lot of credit. In the spring – especially at Spiece – he was playing with the 15s, then he’d play with the 16s right away, then he’d go back to 15s,” said Dave Kleinschmidt, the Wolves’ under-16 coach. For most of the July evaluation period, the plan is to have Ash play with the under-16 team. Though he’s playing a year up, Ash is still a go-to player for the Wolves. “He wants to do that. It shows what type of kid he is,” Kleinschmidt said. “He has an attacking mindset. If he can, he wants to dunk on everybody. He’s got that mentality that he’s going to go to the rim every time.” The 6-foot Ash, who is hoping to visit Marquette soon, mostly plays on the wing for the Wolves. He still needs some skill development if he’s to become a reliable point guard.
