Class of 2022 PF Jaret Valencia (TX/Colombia) Portal to Wichita St

[SanDiegoCuse]

New interest!

 

[satsuma]

If a guy named Valencia doesn't end up committing to the Orange, then what are we even doing here?

 

[23Zone]

Think of the orange juice commercial NIL potential lol

On campus per his insta

This kid looks great on tape. Has a really nice shooting form, can jump out of the gym.
6’9 190lbs needs to bulk up.
Can shoot from outside and block shots.
He had career highs in HS of 56pts 18reb and 16blocks.

I like him a lot more than the other forwards we have looked at. Major potential.

 

[CuseMan4]

Would be an interesting get. I would be happy with it as he would have multiple years and he’s extremely athletic. Still pretty raw with a lot of potential.

Interesting because Jaret and Sadiq are basically the same player lol. Both extremely athletic and both have similar skill sets at the point. Hard to pass up on a kid that’s 6’10 and this kind of athlete and potential though, that has multiple years left

Former top 100 recruit it appears as well

The Colonial Athletic Association is either 20th or 22nd best men’s basketball conference.

Nobody has posted video of Valencia yet, but he’s visiting, so might as well watch some highlights.

Put up 13 and 4 against Auburn this year and 11 and 9 with 4 blocks vs Seton Hall

Any known reason for the drop in stats across the board from Fresh to Soph year?

Missed some games battling a hip injury which may have been something he had to play through last year. Seems he was getting back to his normal output again as the year ended.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Can he play the 5?

:ducks, rolls, dodges hurled tomatoes:

 

[cusefan88]

Seems like the staff is looking for combo forward right. Deng, Valencia, and th Tarleton guy all fit the mold albeit with different strengths.

Oh god you couldn’t resist could you. Here we go again.

Valencia wasn’t high volume but showed he can hit the 3 ball. Obviously not at the level like Deng

Injury preseason so they just gave the guards the ultimate green light

SU is linked to multiple combo forwards and no centers. That tells me Mr Freeman might see some real minutes as the biggest guy on the floor.

This kids got some juice !

I also think this could mean Melo might be envisioned getting some minutes at the 3.

If it’s Melo, I would play him 40 +.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Any other year I would assume you mean Kiyan, but honestly now Melo might get a judge to give him three more years of eligibility
