Jalen Adams (Committed to UConn)

[Dogbreath2U]

too bad he did not come here this year....oh well.

 

[UCweCONN]

Signing with UCONN automatically excludes you from being a McDonald's All-American or a Diaper Dandy....

Ollie's sitting on the baseline, next to Danny Manning.

 

[UCFan1513]

Will he be playing tomorrow?

 

[RipCity]

Random: F150 says he needs to improve his 3 pt shooting. But his mechanics always look good to me.

Hope there's a replayreplay

 

[UCFan1513]

Cool. Thank you

Jalen finished with 23 points. Can we add him to the roster now? The second semester doesn't start until tuesday

Based on the little bit I watched (10 mins of 2H), we are definitely getting a point guard who can score, not a combo shoe-horned into being a point. The offense ran through him consistently, and he did point guard things - getting the team set, finding shooters coming off screens, feeding the post, finding his bigs on the pick and pops, a nice alley oop in transition. Montverde wasn't exactly running college level defense, so his reads were easier than they will be next year, so I'm not saying there won't still be growing pains. After Brewster blew it open, he got sloppy a couple times, and was maybe a bit lazy on D a couple times, but minor quibbles. But he did things that someone with point guard skills does (ie not just locking in on the rim after beating his man).

Mitchell is a terrific athlete and is great around the rim. But he's small for his game - will be interesting to see how that projects to the next level.

I wanted him so bad...

Would you know where to find rosters for all the teams playing today?

Agreed - his mechanics are fine.

If I'm remembering correctly, he has longer arms, which tends to make your form look a little strange. But he has a smooth, effortless-looking jumper that should translate well.

Adams is just flat-out terrific.

It's remarkable how much trouble they're having recruiting a wing/shooter to compliment him - Mitchell is a heck of a player and not that we ever had a chance at him, but we're all set with power guards who can't shoot.

That's what we need, a wing to say "nice pass, Jalen" or "hey, I like your socks"

That's where a Giffey would help, because he could give compliments in two languages. Only helps morale.

Adams may soon pass his teammates simon and mitchell on 247, just saw an interesting exchange on jerry meyers where he claims to be 'pondering' adams' current ranking.

 

[RipCity]

Anyone know Jalen Adams' wingspan?

Anyone know Jalen Adams' wingspan?

Looks like he was measured at an absurd 6'6 1/2" this past summer at the Nike Guard Skills Academy:

He's so damn good. Give me a reclassified Bruce Brown and Diamond Stone and next year's team is top 5. Easily.

 

[Yankees32123]

Imagine...

 

[Vuce]

You watch Adams play and see what Ollie and Uconn accomplished last year and it is bad to believe that we can't get a couple more high quality recruits to sign up. It would be nice for Jalen to come in with a group of talented freshmen.

Tim Fontenault of the Daily Campus has tweeted more than once that after speaking to members of the basketball department/coaches we only have ONE scholarship left to give out for next season.

Everyone else I know and everywhere else I read that we have 2 more. Hopefully its 2

 

[Yankees32123]

We'll be going into next season with 11 players on scholarship if no one else commits. Room for 2 more. Unless there's something that I don't know about the situation.
