Thanks for all the updates, folks and thanks to the Mods for getting these threads back on the recruiting board. Seems like there's more activity on them now.

Jalen can obviously score and he also has a good defensive reputation. However, I could not help but notice that the assist numbers were pretty low at least the last few games.

So, for anybody who has really seen him play entire games, and not just highlights, I gotta ask, he is a true PG or really more of a 2G ???

If either Sid gets well or we land another big we are going to be scary next year.

More of a 2 than a 1.

Not having seen him play--

Could the concentration on scoring, as opposed to assisting, be in part due to the fact that he needs to score for his team to be successful?

Hard to say. I'd lean to that being the case. He certainly seems to have the tools to be a good PG, including handle and vision. He's just usually in attack mode. He will replace TB but will be different in that he will go to the basket a lot more ala Dion.

Is he another Battle?

Impressive win. Ranney is loaded.

Like iommi said, more like Dion - but definitely a scorer and creates his own similar to both Battle and Dion.

If you look at last year's full game log at the bottom, plenty of times he had decent assist numbers. Just not those 10+ true distributor games. (They don't always record assists, rebounds, etc).

Yeah, it's tough to really just point to one of those guys as a comparison. He has that scoring mentality of both. Gets to the basket like Dion but doesn't really bull his way to get there like DW. He's a more consistent shooter than Tyus but I haven't seen that step back game as proficient as Tyus.

Jalen is really his own guy. He can pass but like his dad said, he's a scorer, a bucket-getter.

Next year, Frank can pull back a little and be more of a game manager. With Baz, Carey and (pretty please) Oshae, the prospects are frightening.

Ranney is really good. They came in 4th-ranked in the state and have a ton of high-major talent. Today's performance came against top competition. He drilled some big shots too. Carey can fill it up from every level.

I take back what I said above about Carey’s step back game. He shows a filthy one here. He just keeps getting better.

This is the coach of NJ power The Patrick School...
