Jenkins is averaging a double-double this season (18ppg & 10rpg), but is starting to heat up now that his team is in conference play. In three league games, Jenkins' offensive numbers have increased to 24ppg, while his rebounding remains the same. He dropped 32 on their opponent last Friday, including going 2 for 3 from three and 13-13 from the line. His mid-range pull-up was deadly. He is a big match-up problem for every high school team. His length allows him to post up smaller defenders, while his perimeter skills makes it tough for bigs to handle him outside. Smaller guards can stay in front, but he just rises over the top of them. Just came out that he is one of a dozen players in Michigan to be nominated for the prestigious Mr. Basketball award. Will be tough to win it against name players headed to Michigan State, but he's definately one of the best in Michigan! Colorado is getting a good one!
thanks so much for posting this. It is so hard to follow Jenkins through his senior year because the stats are so hard to find. We are definitely excited to see him in the black and gold next year.Originally Posted by WilyOldVet
Thanks for posting this!
Although I'm a math nazi and that stuff doesn't add up.
Two three pointers is six, plus thirteen freethrows is 19, leaving thirteen remaining, but that can't be gotten on 2 pointers.
nazi! Let us dream.
I must have been mistaken...sorry about that. He must have been 1 for 2 with a 2-pointer from 19'8.5"I would have given him a three from where I was sitting!
It is all good. I just notice that stuff from years of reading box scores that just had field goals made, free throws made, and points, so I back mathed a lot.I must have been mistaken...sorry about that. He must have been 1 for 2 with a 2-pointer from 19'8.5"
Scout finally has a ranking on him. 3*, unranked SF.
Chris Jenkins helped his team to a thrilling 62-60 comeback win last night with an offensive rebound and putback as time expired. Jenkins led his team with 25 points and nine rebounds. Was 5-of-10 from inside the arc, 3-of-7 from three and 6-of-9 from the line. He also collected 3 steals and did not record a turnover. His team is 6-1 in league play and tied for first place. Jenkins is scoring 21.5ppg leading the conference in scoring.
thanx for the update Wily!
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
It's great to hear Chris is stepping up his game! Thanks Wily!
Adam with a nice interview with Chris.
"I am a better player than what those other colleges saw on the AAU circuit. I felt the AAU circuit kind of messed me up. My role was to play in the post, get rebounds and score when they needed me to. I didn't have much freedom. I have developed my game in the mid-range after these years and I will be able to showcase that at Colorado."
Jenkins is also forced to play a lot in the post for Detroit Jesuit. He is averaging roughly 21 points, 11 rebounds and five assists per game this season.
is every player we are bringing in averaging a double-double? Can't wait to see the rebounding in the coming years.
Tad wants to be top 3 in the conference in rebounding and defense every year. If he pulls that off to go along with the offensive skill of the guys he is recruiting, we're going to be consistently very good.
Chris Jenkins helped his team to another win last night. He scored 32 points for the second time this year. He was 8-of-12 from inside the arc and 3-of-5 from three. He also went 7-of-8 from the free throw line. Two of his baskets were dunks (one off a lob pass across the zone and another off a steal he had in the backcourt where he took one dribble and finished it with a two-handed slam.) He also added 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots. Not a bad night for the young man.
wow. That's impressive. What kind of competition is he going up against?
