Home today, so watching Jenkins play in the Florida 2A state tournament semis and final game from last March. Interesting in that he doesn’t really look like any of their other offers. He’s a big, thick, physically-mature, not terribly athletic sort of 4/5 with a very nice skill level for his age but not a ton of projectability. His best traits are his skills: nice stroke, very nice handle, can pass it and sees the floor well. But he’s kind of a below the rim guy, he runs ok but not great. In 2 games against a bunch of kids he’s miles ahead of physically he has 1 block. Not sure the athleticism will ever be plus. Effort’s very good. If you dropped him in a college weight  program in about 90 days he could hold up physically in a college game. That’s how far ahead he is. Will be interesting to see how he does in the OTE environment.

Side note: the team he’s playing in the final, Santa Fe, has a ‘25  named Tate Darner, son of former PU player and coach in a million places Linc Darner, and that kid’s a nice player. 6’4”, can really shoot it, never stops moving, and is the only reason this is a 20pt game instead of a 40pt game. He’s a freshman at UT-Chattanooga and I imagine he’ll outgrow that program and be an interesting portal kid in a couple of years.

Totally overlooked this particular offer as I believe he's the only IU offer playing in Overtime Elite for the City Reapers team.  For 11 games he's averaging:

18.9p,  8.3r,  2.6a,  .5s,  .6b,  2.1t     42.9% FG,  20.5% on 3s,  71.1% FT     29 min./gm
