Two Teams, Five Nations, One Dream: Golden State Prep (CA) 2026-27 Player Profiles
Golden State Prep (GSP) is a Northern California basketball academy in Napa, CA, built for post grad and gap-year players, and it now also takes upper-age high school athletes. It is not a school but a training-based program that gives players an extra year to develop their skills, mentality and physique before moving on to college basketball. GSP began as the post grad program affiliated with the high-profile Prolific Prep high school program, which founder Jeremy Russotti launched in 2014. Prolific's high school program has since moved to Florida, and while the two staffs remain close, there is no longer an official connection. Russotti, GSP's founder and president, says his aim is to "bring the blueprint of our past history success building the Prolific Prep brand" to GSP's players. Each day combines skill work, strength and conditioning, yoga and mobility, position-specific training and mental development, and the season runs from late September to March against a national schedule with stops in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Utah, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Southern California. GSP alumni include AK Okereke, who played at Vanderbilt and signed an NBA two-way deal in June 2026, Utah transfer Terrence Brown, who committed to North Carolina in April 2026 , and forward Jerry Deng, who transferred from NC State to Memphis.
The program fields two teams, Golden State Prep Black and Golden State Prep Grey. The program recruits both domestic and international prospects.
Humphrey Jackson II, the program's overall head coach, oversees both the Black and Grey teams and is entering his ninth season leading GSP. An Oakland native, he won three league titles at Woodside High (CA), then played his freshman season at Utah State on a 23-7 team that reached the NCAA Tournament. He moved on to Foothill College, where he earned All-League and All-State honors, and finished his career on scholarship at Southern Oregon, where he led the conference in assists twice and ranks among the program's top 10 all-time in assists. He coached for six years with Team Arsenal on the AAU circuit and served as an assistant with Prolific Prep's National Team, and he has sent more than 100 GSP players to college basketball, several of whom have reached the NBA. Assistant coach David Stinson, a Chicago native, played at Illinois Central College, Southwestern Christian (NAIA) and Ozark Christian, where he was All-Conference, ranked among the nation's top five in steals and played in the NCCAA tournament, and he previously coached at Southwestern Christian, Trinity Christian College and Erie Prep Academy. Skill development and strength coach Alimamy Koroma, from Freetown, Sierra Leone, played two seasons at Prolific Prep and became the first D1 scholarship player from Sierra Leone, earning two All-Big West Honorable Mention honors at Cal Poly. Scott Ergas, a longtime Bay Area high school coach, rounds out the staff.
