I believe the staff was ecstatic to get this kid signed

Most kids prep to get their grades in order or to raise their profile in recruiting. I have a friend somewhat connected to the athletic programs he used the Scott Loeffler term to describe Jalen. Said he was a “Dude.” Not sure what that means but kid caught staff’s attention. Limited Twitter film was good. Not off the charts athletic but good hands and high effort.

6'8" 215lb forward Jalen Haynes joins VTMBB -- HokieSA 04/15/2021 4:38PM

I watched his team in a championship game on ESPN - almost all D1 players -- HokieVan 04/15/2021 5:59PM

The Monteverde team he played for isnt the big time Monteverde team.... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 7:10PM

Good info. The game I watched was like a McD AA game ** -- HokieVan 04/15/2021 9:26PM

What are your thoughts on him? ** -- hokie4ever 04/15/2021 9:16PM

I believe the staff was ecstatic to get this kid signed -- millmtnhokie 04/16/2021 12:12PM

Definitely a post not a wing, he was really good for Dillard -- soflahokie 04/15/2021 5:32PM

So, How good a signing is this for MY and VT? How does this kid rate? Offer -- vtox1 04/15/2021 5:18PM

Well he probably isn't a one and done so we'll have 3-5 years to develop -- UTPr0sim 04/15/2021 7:43PM

Offer list is meaningless, all about developing him for MY's system -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/15/2021 7:30PM

Forget "offer list". If he fits MY system & eye test then he is a great add ** -- seacain 04/15/2021 7:08PM

Hard worker with decent skills. Great pickup.. Can't teach 6'8" ** -- UTPr0sim 04/15/2021 6:23PM

I trust CMY. Aluma and Mutts were not coveted out of high school either -- VT ChemE 1986 04/15/2021 5:23PM

Neither were Storm or Cattoor... ** -- Bmackattack 04/16/2021 10:24AM

No one is doing it here but... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 5:17PM

I was going to ask if it would be fair to compare him to Aluma out of HS -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 7:22PM

Sure, Keve added a lot in his down time... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 7:44PM

Now we just need a wing from the portal ** -- VT ChemE 1986 04/15/2021 5:10PM

Perfect! I trust CMY ** -- VT ChemE 1986 04/15/2021 5:09PM

So do I, he is doing a great job at VT ! ** -- FLKEYSHOKIE 04/15/2021 6:08PM

Nice. -- HOKIE MAGIC 04/15/2021 4:51PM

Great for the future. Think next Aluma... ** -- UTPr0sim 04/15/2021 4:54PM
