North Penn High School Hall of Fame

UNC Greensboro Hall of Fame

Jay is a local Graduate of North Penn High School in Lansdale, Pennsylvania where he became the All-Time Boys Leading scorer in points playing for Mike Fergus in 2000. A product of the area, Jay traveled the country with one of the best AAU coaches in the country, Sam Rines.  After receiving scholarship offers from Pittsburgh, Northeastern, Xavier, Vanderbilt,  Virginia Tech and Central Florida, he committed to the University of Pittsburgh in the Big East.  After the departure of the assistant coach that recruited him, he backed out of the verbal commitment and attended UNC Greensboro.  4 years later Jay became the All-Time leading scorer there also. Shortly after college he continued his basketball career in Spain, Hungary  and the Middle East for 5 years. While returning home during the summers, he  also worked directly with the Lansdale Boys & Girls Club as a counselor and Program assistant. During the 4 years playing at UNCG, Jay learned under the local LaSalle High School legend Fran McCaffery (currently head coach at University of Iowa), former coach of UNCG, Lehigh and Siena.
