Jasiah Jervis of White Plains, N.Y. announced on Sunday that he has received an offer from the Michigan Wolverines. This is a notable development as Jervis has received an offer from the Spartans in late June and has started to pick up some more steam on the recruiting trail since then.
Jervis is a four-star shooting guard prospect in the 2026 class. He holds a recruiting rating of 96.26 in 247Sports composite system, and is listed at 6-foot-4 and 180 pounds.
Jervis ranks as the No. 7 shooting guard in 247Sports' rankings for the 2026 class. He is also listed as the No. 61 overall prospect and No. 4 player from New York in the class.
Along with his notable offers from Michigan and Michigan State, Jervis has picked up offers from Tennessee, Texas, NC State and Villanova since late May. Prior to that, he received notable offers from Illinois, Virginia Tech, Rutgers, Northwestern, Wake Forest, Pitt and St. John's.

Iowa women's basketball offers top-5, 2028 wing recruit
As Iowa women's basketball continues its relentless recruiting search for the next great names to don the black and gold, the Hawkeyes made another bold move by extending an offer to top-five, 2028 wing prospect Ella Peper on Thursday. Peper, a 6-foot-4 native of Brookline, Massachusetts, plays on both Dexter Southfield High School's varsity squad and for the independent Bay State Jaguars AAU program. While it is a bit too early for most recruiting sites to hand out concrete rankings for the 2028 class, Peper lists as the No. 4 overall prospect per ESPN's 2028 SportsCenter NEXT - Terrific 25. Following her performance during the USA Women's Basketball U16 National Team trials in late May, which featured 52 total prospects spanning the 2026 to 2029 recruiting classes, 247Sports' Brandon Clay described Peper's game as that of a player with a desirable hybrid forward skillset and a potential that will only rise with increased experience. While Iowa's winning pedigree in recent years should be a significant attraction for the talented wing, Peper also has notable offers from premier women's college basketball programs, including UCLA, LSU, TCU, Tennessee, and Maryland. The Hawkeyes hope their success in the talent-loaded Big Ten and on the national stage will pique the interest of Peper even more as her recruitment progresses over the next year or so.

'They see me fitting right in': 2026 4-star TE explains why he chose Texas A&M
On Friday afternoon, Texas A&M gained its 27th commit in the 2026 recruiting class, beating out Iowa State and Notre Dame for four-star tight end Evan Jacobson out of Waukee, Iowa, who plans to play football and basketball with the Aggies as soon as he makes his way to campus. OC Collin Klein and TE coach Christian Ellsworth deserve a bulk of the credit for winning the battle over the last few weeks, as Klein's tight end-centric system, combined with Texas A&M basketball head coach Bucky McMillan's fast-pased, high scoring offense was too much to pass up, which he further explained during his recent interview with 247Sports' Dushawn London. The SEC is considered the best conference in football, baseball, and basketball, and Jacobson, who could have easily chosen the simpler route of staying close to home and playing for the Cyclones, feels the Aggies offer him a chance to see the field and court by his second year on campus. "It makes the most sense because the people, the players, the staff, and the schemes," Jacobson stated. "SEC football and basketball is where you want to be right now." Notre Dame and Iowa State both secured tight end commitments in the 2026 cycle, while Jacobson now joins four-star Caleb Tafua and three-star athlete Kaeden Johnson, who will play tight end for the Aggies. Scheme-wise, Jacobson noted that he can "do it all," including blocking in the run game and pass protection, and should become a playmaker as a hybrid receiver once he gets through his freshman season. On the court, Jacobson, whose brother, Michael Jacobson, was a star basketball player for Iowa State, feels that McMillan's high-tempo offense fits perfectly with his skillset as a shooter and defender. "Coach McMillian likes how I stretch the floor, shoot, handle the ball, and play multiple positions," Jacobson stated. "They see me fitting right in." Overall, this is a win-win for Texas A&M Athletics, bringing in a prospect with unlimited potential in both sports and joining at the cusp of what could be the start of greatness under two coaching staffs dedicated to building a winning program. According to On3, Jacobson is currently positioned as the 14th-ranked tight end prospect in the 2026 cycle and the 3rd-ranked prospect in Iowa.
