[URL='https://nlfrankings.com/player/jayden-james/']Jayden James, defense, St. John’s (D.C.) / Next Level[/URL][/B][/HEADING] The 2026 class isn’t perceived as the best defensive class, but James is basically the unanimous choice as the No. 1 close defender. “Athletically, he’s different than everyone else,” an ACC coach said. “People didn’t really challenge him this summer,” another coach from a top-5 program said. James is going to be a four-year starter at St. John’s, one of the top programs in the country. He can reportedly throw down a windmill dunk, a nod to his elite athleticism. He loves to apply pressure because he knows that few offensive players can run by him, and his frame can handle a bunch more weight once he gets in a college weight room. [B]There’s been a lot of smoke linking James to Syracuse, but he’ll get interest from everyone. [MEDIA=twitter]1829323156202676404[/MEDIA][/B] [/QUOTE]
