Jalen Adams (Committed to UConn)

Bazz was an ok shooter freshman year. It took him four years to become what he was

Did you see Bazz play in high school? AAU? He took a year or so to adjust to college but he had range for days in high school/AAU.

Not saying JA will become this, but I honestly see a young (pre-injury) D-Rose. A little smaller, but not much. Ridiculous hops and speed. Not quite the same freakish athlete, but probably a better passer at this age, and probably a better shooter. High praise, but warranted IMO.

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Not sure if this is a repost, but this video shows the kid has heart just seeing his raw emotion. A true Husky. He will bleed blue!

This was I think 3 years ago at Endicott College, and I was there watching since I was a student at Endicott. Watching him play and seeing him hit that buzzer beater, I was said to myself "wow that kid needs to be a Husky."

Love it when a plan comes together Dave LOL

Meyer has 30 5 stars in his latest rankings, that seems to be a bit ridiculous IMO.

I don't know. Considering that there are 320+ Division 1 teams and each brings in about three recruits a year, that translates to about 1000 recruits total. Listing the top 30 as 5 star doesn't seem ridiculous.

It sounds weird until you do the math...

I thought the top 100 players were divided into equal tiers of 20 for each star level.

You thought there were 1 star recruits at the D1 level?

There are 4 stars who aren't top 100.

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously I'm not a star gazer!

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.

 

[Yankees32123]

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.

 

[bfair]

Can't wait for this kid... Haven't been more excited ... Well since our stud DHAM....... U......CONN

 

[HU5KIES]

Looks like this kid is pretty excited to be a Husky!!!!

sick. love the speckle on the midsole . nice patchwork too. he should just ask ray allen for a pair of custom jays

 

[FartMan69]

These are nice but nothing compares to the Kobe's that were made for Geno.

 

[tcf15]

 

[W Coast UCONN]

Love this kid's attitude already, hopefully a future Husky great.

 

[UConnSwag11]

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
