Jalen Adams (Committed to UConn)

Last week, my brother was in town and we had a great time hanging out and catching up. It was really fun. Lo and behold I found out today his plans changed and we never hung out at all! Weird!

It was funny for a while.

Now it's boring. Step up your game.

Look, it's the internet police. Save it, guy, I'm not interested.

how in the world is it boring? you privy to this whole storyline, and the fact that chief seems to think his actions were justified? its humorous

Not the police. You are free to be as boring as you want.

Don't let me stop you from not being interesting.

Sure. It was humourous. The first 17,568 times. Then it got sleepy.

Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first. Usually when I see your name you're being humiliated on the Providence board.

That's better.

Kid was wearing uconn colors out of the womb. Can't wait. I hope he brings that in your face bazz/kemba type play and mentality

Not sure if this was posted but the first 1:15 of the video is all Jalen at the JBC Regional Game.

Sometimes plans change retroactively, so when you think you were hanging out with someone, he was actually on the other side of the country. Only explanation: Andre Drummond is a time traveler.

Oh stop it.

He could also have a clone.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Anyone seen this video? Looks sick...

 

[Rico444]

That dribble around a defender at the 55 second mark was insane. Bazz-like!

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Everything JA related is exciting. Hope to see more finishing at the rim with his left hand (is there any video of that?). He has all the physical gifts to be the best guard ever at UConn.

 

[Kitaman]

Kemba, Bazz and Boat all came of the bench their freshman year. Like them, Jalen will be able to observe, study and master the Div 1 game with no pressure. Sure he'll get big minutes but the luxury he has of being able to adapt (bring what's needed) to each game is going to be exciting.

When the opponents' guards are tiring we have a stick of dynamite to blow them away!

 

[UConnSwag11]

Imo he's more advanced skill wise than bazz or kemba. What bazz and kemba turned into was something I don't think anyone saw coming. It's up to adams and gilbert if they want to get on to that level

* than bazz or kemba were as a freshman

Kemba came in pretty polished. I think he was top 15 in his class if I'm not mistaken. But It's good to know that our program is back to where it was where even top 25 recruits are coming off the bench (ala 2009 with Kemba).

Jalen comes in the program a year older than Kemba and Bazz having played a year at prep school. He looks to have a more polished game coming in because of the extra year.

Perhaps, time will tell, but you are talking about two first team AAs. Just sayin . . . . . . . . . . .

Looks like Russel Westbrook, plays like he has springs in his feet.

I'm thinking more devin harris with that explosive first step and in the paint finishing. been with that comp since we started heavily recruited him.

Highlight videos make everyone look polished. Look at Terry Larrier's Freshman highlights versus complete season recap video on the player profile page. Huge difference.

Also, both of them backed up top caliber PGs in their time. Kemba plays behind AJ and and Bazz behind Kemba. The best thing for JA is to sit behind Gibbs and LEARN. That is how we create amazing guards, they don't come in this way.
