Where is he at with that test score business? I thought that was the question mark on him.

No idea, but folks act like he's going to be here

Well, if he's short, he better have his butt signed up for the SAT on May 7 and the ACT on June 5.

Not sure it's scores

Core classes?

just needed a GPA lift, as the wind blows. He had time and is supposedly putting in work. Good kid, good family. Hope he reps well in SoCal tonight. Length, Athelticism, plays mean. Just adjusting to the wing, but can shoot, all upside.

That's great. Doesn't mean a darn thing if he doesn't pass. He needs to pass so we can use all those tools when he's going 9-10 at the foul line in the final two minutes to win the CUSA tournament title.

Pretty much, when you recruit that caliber of player/athlete, you're going to sweat your share of eligibilities.

Since I can't see video at work, who would you compare Jalen's game to?

Have to think about comparison, but he's a very aggressive athlete. Prototype SF athletically, don't know enough about the way he handles on the wing. Big blocks/dunks etc. Can also knock down the 3 ball. Papawasamustang or someone else should chime in, but Jalen has played on the block a lot in high school, and only transitioned to wing w/Showtyme last summer. I've heard he's a very good shooter w/range, that just hasn't had a lot of those opportunities. He was very smooth from distance at elite camp etc. Obviously, he's a clutch FT shooter etc.

Interesting. How filled out is his frame? Is he more of a Q kind of a guy in that respect?
