Jalen Adams (Committed to UConn)

[ctchamps]

typically a recruiting service will rank stars based upon certain criteria and that includes high school performance, projected college performance, and projected professional potential. So there may be 15 5 stars one year and 23 the next. everyone else is a 4 star in the top 150 or so. and then a huge group of 3 stars that comprise most of the high major d1 players. then 2 stars and some 3 stars go to small d1 schools.

Should be playing in the BallisLife All American Game this Saturday, and apparently it will be on CBS Sports Network at 8pm.

Briscoe and Adams, head-to-head. I hope Jalen runs circles around him.

Briscoe is really really slow, but he's a good defender.

 

[Ricker]

How good was Brewster Academy's line up - 3 players in the game - Adams, Mitchell, Simon. I think Crisp is as deserving.

let's see those sneaks!!

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Just swatted Briscoe

 

[UConnSwag11]

Adams has three fouls already and some points. But briscoe tried to take adams to the rim and adams rejected him, smacked it off the backboard and then stared briscoe down and did his flex. So much fire

 

[UConnSwag11]

Adams seems to take everything as a challenge. Love it

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Jalen not playing great in the second half

New Scout Rankings: 18 (up from 28)

Jalen Adams' value is in his ability to score. While he's probably a true combination guard because of his ability to handle the ball, Adams is at best when he's attacking and looking to score. He's good shooter to 22-feet, has a quick first step and is an impressive athlete that can finish well above the rim. He's a good shooter off the dribble and has a developed mid-range game. He needs to spruce up his shot selection, but he's a talent.

Strengths: Big-Time Scorer, Secondary Handler, Shooting Off Dribble
Needs to Improve: Basketball IQ

I'm normally more of a Rivals guy than a Scout guy, but I'm feeling good about Scout's new rankings for some reason.

KO is perfect to help him what that basketball IQ. I can't wait to see them work together and watch JA grow into a star.

Adams scored 16 pts. in the Balls for Life game. Also a tremendous assist to Thon Maker for the game winner with 15 seconds left.
Now, it's on to UConn.

The less than fantastic Bleacher Report listed Adams as the 5th best PG in his class. I think he is better http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ayers-at-every-position-in-2015-class/page/22
Brunson 4 4, Briscoe 3, Thornton 2, Newman 1
