Scouting Info:
ESPN.com,, "Tebbutt's frame is that of a college junior rather than a rising junior in high school. Despite his bulk he has a nice touch out to the stripe and he uses his body very well while navigating the key area for runners and strong takes to the rim. He has a nice mid-range game where he uses his strength to power his way to the rim or pull-up and hit the jump shot at the elbow. He has a solid looking 3-point stroke and his release is smooth. Defensively, he slides his feet fairly well despite his size and he's a dependable rebounder. Overall, Tebbutt is an intriguing prospect for the next level. At this stage he's a college-ready 2/3, but if his body gets much bigger and he loses some of his explosiveness and quickness his upside may come into question."


Jordan's recruiting is wide open at this point. It doesn't help that he is headed to Oak Hill (VA) for his senior season. This will only bring more east coast teams into his recruitment and if he plays well, he may be in for the likes of UConn, Duke and UNC jumping into the fray. At this time, he is being courted by the entire PAC-12 as well as some of the WCC and even some BIG EAST/ACC teams. Very big, physical wing...Capable of driving the lane with ease, however he currently does not have the level of competition he will get next season. His body is built for contact, and with his skill set he will match up with most wings in the country. He has a nice stroke from outside and will square up and knock down the three. I expect the Zags to continue to recruit him, but with the level of competition they will have for his services, he may not make up his mind until late in his senior season.
