Am i sensing diappointment?

It's too hard to tell from video clips but I wasn't impressed.

And, of course, how many big men in 10th grade look like the next coming of Shaq, etc.?? This kid has played 4 years beyond that clip.

As far as this recruit, I say "IDK" I don't know and won't have an opinion until I see some 2016 or 17 clips.

Sometimes 'bad data' (e.g., a 2013 clip) is worse than no data.

In your opinion and posting one scout opinion isnt much better

I stand by my post.

Unless a post player is a 4 or 5 star player, his sophomore tape probably doesn't show much.

And, many colleges take h.s. senior big men who are projects. These kids probably couldn't walk and chew gum in the 10th grade.

Yeah sorry guys, I tried to get some video on Jones, I'm sorry there wasn't anything more recent I could find. It was what it was.

Yep. Me too (I tried to find more info, video, etc.).

He is kind of a mystery recruit. Just don't know a lot about him.

Interesting choice. Utah Valley is a LARGE university. Larger than EMU.

It is located in Orem, Utah, near Provo and not too far from Salt Lake City.

Basketball is in the WAC.

Yep. He is now 2x as far away from Des Moines, Iowa.

Big loss for EMU! This kid had tons of potential but we just didn't utilize our low post. I wonder why he left?

Murphy just tweeted that we signed 6'10 Jalen King from Washington. Maybe I missed discussion about this. Is this a transfer? Immediately eligible?

Don't know how he sat out there unsigned.

Using the hackneyed expression, but he is a 'Murphy recruit.'

Long, lean (needs some work in the weight room), and can really block shots. Highlights showed ability to finish around the rim.

I would to see him with say 20 or 30 lbs of muscle on him, but I see a lot of potential.

BTW, those Hudl highlights were mostly 2015 or Jan. 2016.

BTW, Pasco, WA is kind of equidistant fro Seattle, Spokane, and Portland (Ore).

Anyone think that he is a raw version of Theron Wilson of a 1/4 century ago? (wow, talking about EMU hoops from 25 years ago, yikes).

I believe this is the same Jalen King as our guy. Seems he played last season in Houston, TX. Was a senior, not a junior?

http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/jalen-ki...efault.htm

I'm really confused on where this kid has been, etc. Pasco, WA, Houston, TX...

It sure sounds like him. Not great on offense but a shot blocking machine on the other end.

Tell me we stole another late summer kid like JT4 as we had a scholarship to give and he became available???

Yes and no, with only Bond's scholie and maybe JTIV if he goes pro and a loaded instate class the best in the past 25 years do you really want to go and get only one or two players in that class?

What concerns me about the two recent bigs is where's their offers from other schools?

I'm not sure I would go that far. JTIV had a great list of offers before his troubles, where's his?

I am looking forward to seeing these new guys grow together. Should be entertaining.
