Bibb leads Salesian Pride

Salesian has nine underclassmen on their roster of twelve. Despite the youth, the Pride have started the season 9-4 and are ranked No. 15 in NorCal.

One of the underclassmen making his mark is Jamario Bibb, the No. 8 player in the 2018 Top 20. Bibb is a long, athletic wing that will be the focal point on Salesian for years to come.

For a Salesian team that has its tallest player listed at 6-foot-5, the 6-foot-4 Bibb is expected to help with post defense and rebounding even though his natural position will be at wing or shooting guard on the next level. During the summer, the sophomore played for the Team Superstars 15U program. Bibb plays with a high motor, is always in attack mode, and competes at a high level.

Team Superstars 15U Coach Grady Dodson says, “Jamario plays bigger than he is. Slashes to the bucket with force. He loves to rebound and block shots. Jamario is an animal on the court. High motor for playing (helps that he plays football). He fears no one. He is a proven leader on and off the court.”

Team Superstar 15U ended their AAU season with a 30-4 record beating the Oakland Soldiers 15U team twice (once for the Memorial Day Championship) and Earl Watson 15U (fellow Under Armour Team) as well as another 20 plus teams while capturing three of the six championships that the team played during the past summer.

Without a doubt, the summer team was led by Bibb. The Salesian prospect already has high interest from several schools including Boise State, Cal, and Nevada while San Jose State has offered.

As a local prospect, Bibb will initially get interest from the Big West, Mountain West, and West Coast (WCC) conference teams. As he matures and grows his body and skill set, he will garner more Pac 12 and even national interest.

The Pride finished 19-11 overall and 5-5 in league play last year. Salesian is the lone team from the Tri County Rock League ranked in the current NCP Top 20 rankings. Look for the Pride to challenge for league with Bibb in Richmond, Calif.
