Jesse Zarzuela game went to a new level in July, sets visits
Jesse Zarzuela was and is one of the big stories from July while suiting up with Team Stackz Elite out of Houston. The onetime Texas A&M-Corpus commit, de-committed prior to July Open Period and the 6-foot-3 combo guard took his game to a new level.
• Zarzuela added six offers in the month of July
• The Spring Woods High School product has three official visits set
• He may, or may not add visits to his fall schedule
Zarzuela has set visits with Louisiana Tech (September 8), UTEP (September 13), and California Riverside (September 28), and he is not sure if he will add any more schools in the mix. The combo guard's offer also consists of Denver, North Carolina A&T, Sam Houston State and San Diego.
It’s pretty simple for Zarzuela who says that he knows what type of program he is wanting to play for.
“Somewhere that fits my style where I can immediately be an impact player and be free to play my type of game,” said the versatile guard. “I want to be with a coach who believes in me and my abilities, and who will get me to the next level after college.”
Being once committed, Zarzuela says that he will not rush a decision and will find the best situation for him.
After a big July and a huge showing at the Great American Shoot-Out, Zarzuela said he worked endlessly on becoming the player that everyone saw in July.
“I was in the gym in the morning, afternoon and night. I lived in the gym to work at my craft and just putting in more work than others. It made me more confident once I started playing in front of coaches.”

Zarzuela was a big impact for Team Stackz Elite who had many options on the offensive side of the ball. But Zarzuela was a spark and brought energy to his position. He showed his versatility by being a ball handler and making plays with a pass or by driving to the basket. When he differed to his teammates to be the lead guard, Zarzuela would run the lane and get open to hit soft jumpers that extended past the three-point arc. He had several speeds to his game and always played under control, and would make good basketball decisions.
