Jalen Adams (Committed to UConn)

[UconnU]

Don't like that he cut off the fro...

 

[Kitaman]

Ollie will have fun with this kid, he's got a lot to work with. As for the mixtape, well that ain't Div 1 basketball, that's for sure.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

it's exciting to imagine Jalen in a UConn uniform....what talent this young man shows! He seems strong in just about every area -- shoots it very well, great handle, great body control, gets to the hoop, some really good passes showing great court awareness. Of course, there might have been some plays that did not make it into the highlight videos where he wasn't quite so good, but still.

Jalen was at First Night but I believe he's also using it as his official visit. Any idea who he is hosting him?

IMHO-It's interesting when people disagree on the board as long as they are UCONN fans and not some troll from another school. That's seems to lead to real basketball discussions - insults should be saved for special occasions- like when people disagree with me. : )

For those without Insta....

What's going on guys.

I've been lurking on the boneyard for a while but decided to make an account to tell you guys about what I saw at First Night.

I sat really close to all of the recruits and I was interested to see what their reactions were to First Night. I was watching them all night, but in particular, Jalen Adams. I can't even describe to you how into the program this kid is. He was literally on the endge of his seat all night, and was in awe of everything that was going on. You can tell that he is just itching to get started.

In addition to this, he posted this instragram picture recently. "Tre_The_King" in the comment section is Tremont Waters, and it looks like Jalen is already assuming that Tremont is gonna be a Husky. Will be awesome to see the two of them play together.

Wanker.

Great update to hear. The combination of Jalen's obvious excitement to be a Husky and his early commitment will hopefully help us bring in guys like Waters and other players we are pursuing.

Hopefully that UConn education can help out Jalen's spelling.

Great first post! Great to hear he is encouraging Tremont to come join him at UConn. Perfect attitude!

Good name too! Unfortunately you'll have to change it come March.

Jalen and VJ King have been tweeting each other. Apparently they are friends and had a great time hanging out together at first night. King would be another great get.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Love it.

Looks like it was Purvis:
@JalenAdams25: S/o To The Big Brodie @rpurvis44 For Showing Me a Good Time Up At Uconn This Weekend !

Purvis seems to be the host for the guards and the wings. Brimah seems to be the host for the big men.

Do recruits typically get to work out with the team/Play pick up with the team on their officials? Just curious.

If they want, yeah. That was a big reason why Hamilton committed on his visit. Many recruits do it on unofficial visits too. This summer the day of the draft when we had Ray Smith, Tyus Battle, Tremont Waters, Makai Ashton-Langford and a bunch of others they were playing pickup in Gampel when Napier was drafted.

On official visits it's two days. There's plenty of time to do a bunch of things. Tour campus, visit Manuel and Herbst, tour the facilities (on campus and the XL), go to coaches house, eat dinner somewhere on campus (Geno's), go to a football game (if there is one), visit with instructors of majors their interested in, hang out with the team, and other things.

Stellar defense.

 

[intlzncster]

Stellar defense.

It's an old clip, but that is def a sick move. Chair defense or no.

 

[HooperScooper]

Is that even legal? It was so fast I couldn't tell if he carried the ball or not.

 

[Leebo]

Yeah, if that happened in a real game, it'd probably get called just because it looks weird.

 

[alfonse]

Forget the fancy move, what is impressive to me is how explosive an athlete he is, wow.
