BB Recruiting Jaden Jones commits to Rutgers

[RRRRUUUU]

Potentially super dumb question, but "class of 2021," means he would be on our roster next year? Or the year after?

year after

 

[S_Janowski]

Huge pickup.

The area Pikiell needs to improve upon most imo is recruiting and this is a great step towards taking it to the next level.

year after. Class means year the kid graduates HS.

 

[Groz]

Tremendous recruit for us.

Best of Luck,
Groz

 

[zappaa]

year after. Class means year the kid graduates HS.

Maybe to some he needs to improve "recruiting". However i am very pleased with his roster formation.

Smooth stroke and great range. That shot at 1:32 is NBA+ distance.

His shooting stroke looks like Caleb McConnell.

He did need to improve recruiting and this is an improvement for sure. Top 100.

that’s why I said imo.

There’s always room for improvement in anything. Always.

If we ever want to be a perennial top 25 team we’re gonna have to pick recruiting up a notch or two and that’s exactly what’s Pikiell just did.

This is so wonderful.Congrats to Jaden and to RU and our coaches.

I am surprised that the Rut actually isn't ripping Pikiell as he usually is.

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Welcome to the Banks Jaden.

 

[rutger80]

omfg love the size....6ft7!

We've come a long way since we had a 6'7 guy defending against the 7 footer from Purdue, Haas.

 

[fluoxetine]

Holy shit.

 

[scarletcrew]

Welcome to RU, Mr. Jones!

 

[Mr Magoo]

6'7" with a 7'2" wingspan and he's only 17....incredible upside!

 

[tonyandruth]

BIG GET!! game changer!

 

[Shell21]

This kids parents /handlers must not need Lsu or Arizona money

 

[Big boy stan]

Shooters are born, not made

I think you are correct. Check this out!

 

[Mr Magoo]

From his father, “The culture in the building there is great. Everybody had good pitches but none like Rutgers.”

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

This isn't just a shooter.....shooters are 1 dimensional.....Jones is a shot maker....midrange, from 3 point distance, off the bounce, FT line....huge difference maker to supplement the current core group down the road.

 

[BillyC80]

His shot looks Douby-esque.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

he just came off of a Kentucky visit about a month ago too

Who? (lol)

 

[newwavedave1]

A 4 star, 6’-7” sharpshooting guard coming to RU?

Times are changing for the good!
