It has been a long time coming for the Porter Gaud pair, but senior Aaron Nesmith and junior Josiah James are finally getting their due on the national level. The pair has long been thought of among the top prospects in the state, by Phenom Hoops but it has taken the national writers far too long to catch up.
Porter Gaud junior Josiah James was recently ranked #18 junior in the country by Rivals.com
When Rivals.com came out with their updated rankings for the 2019 class on Wednesday they ranked James as the 18th best junior in the country. When they came out with their updated rankings for the 2018 class on Tuesday, they ranked Nesmith as the 69th best senior in the country. While we still think, in the long run, there will not be 17 players who are better than James in this class. Rivals.com is ahead of the curve on both of these standouts and for that, we applaud them.
It was obvious the second someone watches James that he is special, as far back as 2015 we wrote
