Jahr, best player at prep school last season, arrives at Clune on Sunday
December 3rd, 2010, 10:00 am · 2 Comments · posted by david ramsey
Jordan Jahr would have been one of Air Force’s starters this season. He’s a superb shooter. He can play guard or forward. He ranked as the best player on Air Force’s prep school team last season. He averaged 16 points and five rebounds for a prep team that won, as is usual for the prep team, more than 20 games.
Jahr decided in the spring he didn’t want to pursue a military career. He shopped around and accepted a scholarship offer from Evansville.
He arrives, along with his Evansville teammates, at Clune Arena on Sunday. He’s averaging 4.6 points and playing 10 minutes a game.
Last winter, Jahr was still planning to play this season for the Falcons, and he was full of hope.
“We’re going to win,” Jahr told me. “And then we’ll go from there. We’re going to win conference, make the NCAA Tournament. That’s my view right now.”
His view of his future changed.
“He decided the military thing wasn’t for him,” said his father, Sean, to the Evansville Courier and Press.
I tried to contact Jahr, but he did not respond to repeated interview requests.
It will be interesting to see how Jeff Reynolds and the Falcons respond to The Player Who Got Away.

I usually don’t read you for obvious reasons (poor, choppy writing style, way off base, loves to talk to fans, negative, yada yada yada). But I came across this blog and you again prove my above points. This Jahr guy played nine minutes and missed his only three. He “is a superb shooter” you say. Really? He “would have been one of the Air Force starters” you say. Really? Over who? C’mon David. Why don’t you tell the fans about the guys who are at the Academy? The guys who choose to defend our country and play a little ball along the way. Who cares about those who left
Mountain Man – Appreciate your continued support and all the kind words. Thanks.
You make one strong point. Jahr would not start for this season’s team. He’d be one of the first players off the bench. Maybe the first. But I went too far in saying he would start this season.
