2023 Recruiting: Jayden Ross Visit 6/14

When Solo Ball posted pictures from his UConn visit, Ross commented “team up?”

I wonder if they are looking to be some sort of package deal for a school

Edit: This post is meant to be taken with a grain of salt. A ton of kids talk about teaming up, but just an observation

I know nothing about him. Someone tell me he is a shooter.

Averaging 6.6/2.8/1.0 in EYBL. 35% from 3 on decent volume.

Am I missing something? Why are we after this kid? His only other offers are Temple, George Mason, Penn St., Howard, and Towson.

Tall, long, lengthy- great form on his jump shot- high release on jumper- very raw rest of the game- offensive upside- Polley like jumper…,

Also has a Virginia Tech offer. I suspect this visit has a lot more to do with the team he plays for than anything else (Team Melo). We seem to be going after Ball and Coleman very hard. Could do worse than bringing in a guy just outside the top 100 for a visit

This staff has shown incredible foresight as well. He may be about to blow up or experience a significant rankings jump

That would have happened by now.

6-7 3 star on 247. Looks athletic quick and long. Aggressive. One nice finish with the left hand. Pretty active; hope that translates into a potential great defender as well as a good shooter.

if We signed a guy like Ross for this season we would be saying he’s just the type of developmental player we need

Yes

Great looking shot. Athletic. Kid has got some game to him.

 

[Incursio007]

Seems to have tools that with the right coaching, could develop very well at this level. Long, athletic & can shoot well from outside? Potential certainly there. Staff knows what they’re doing.

Don’t know too much about Saint James overall. They have got better the past few years under Breslin. He’s a young coach with a lot of overseas coaching experience & such. They’ve had some talent it seems the last few years. (For a small western MD school)

Poor man’s Tyler Polley?

2023 wing Jayden Ross was on an official visit to UConn on Wednesday.

Last sentence of this article:

Adama Sanogo, UConn men’s basketball’s proud star center, is ‘on a mission’ this season​

To be fair, he is also been offered and closely watched by Penn State and Virginia Tech (who is recruiting him fairly hard)
Kind of weird - his HS/Prep team went 2-10 last season and didn't play the toughest of schedules but he did play Team Melo this past year and did well
He is listed as a 6"7" GUARD and in every video of him, he is playing the 1 or 2 position. Has a good handle and he can jump out of the gym. Reminds me of AJ with a better handle and better looking shooting style.
I can see why DH and staff like this kid

This sounds like a great connection beyond the recruit we are courting. Besides the staff doing their own fishing for recruits they are also interested in other good coaches with an eye for training and recruiting. A young coach with a lot of overseas experience and recruiting talented kids can pay dividends of a pipeline for years to come. More positive news about the staff. Thanks for the post.

Have we ever see an official visit video before?

Kemba would be proud of this one.
