Phenom Hoops got their first glimpse at Freedom Christian at the Phenom November Classic, as it gave us a chance to watch a few new names that will be looking to make a name for themselves this season. One player of interest was 2022 6’4 Jacob Dar.
Dar is a player that was born in South Sudan and eventually came to the US when he was only two years old. He grow up in Utah for some time and then moved to Nebraska, where he spent his middle school and a few high school years before coming to North Carolina. Now, he is looking to make his mark at Freedom Christian
When watching how he operated on the floor in Rock Hill, Dar gave us a glimpse of his ability to knock down shots while also using his length to his advantage on both ends. With his wingspan, he is able to rise over defenders but also finish at the rim and get on the boards.
“I’m a versatile player, so I can make shots, finish at the basket, find open teammates, and play defense,” Dar told Phenom Hoops. “And I use my length to my advantage on offense and defense.”
Dar has put up some impressive numbers early on this season and could quickly be a name moving up the North Carolina rankings.
