The rankings for Jahque Alleyne are all over the map. Rivals ranks him as a 4-star recruit and the #14 player in the state. 247Sports has him all the way down at #33 in the state. ESPN ranks him in between at #21.

To me, Alleyne is one of the many scores of recruits who could be classified as a lower level 4-star recruit or an upper level 3-star recruit. As we’ve discussed many times, there really isn’t much of a difference between many 3-stars and most 4-stars. He’s a good prospect either way, and whether he’s rated as one of the lower 4-stars or better 3-stars doesn’t really matter in the long run, does it?
