Definitely the best video Ive seen of Jenkins. Good range and I love that mid-range game. He can score in a lot of different ways. His handle is better than I thought too. I'm not all that worried about him finishing, he showed the ability to explode when he needed to and I really don't have an issue with a kid who's content with a layup instead of trying to make the highlight reel with every play.
This would be my one criticism of Jenkins. Love his game outside the paint, though.

Yep, they do. Some pretty good bball players in the Detroit area. Another plus in this guy choosing CU -- could be making some nice in-roads to a talent rich area.

I agree he was underrated, but I'm curious about the timing of your observation. Anything you care to share?
Rivals had some practice observations on its message board. Very positive.
I already said this. Welcome to the bandwagon
I've been on for awhile, but it's good to keep hearing positive reviews. This class just keeps looking better and better!
This. We haven't heard much feedback on the practices so far, but Jenkins has apparently been a standout.
I'm guessing just some whispers coming from people associated with the program.
and a possibility of an all-mustache back court.
YES!
I think everyone on the team needs to grow the pornstache that The Mayor and Jenkins rocks. Chen with a stache? Simba? Oh God, make it happen Tad!
Good lord, that would be awesome. I can already see the ESPN intro. "It's MUSTACHE MADNESS, BABY!"
I'll let you deal with the ladies with the facial hair.
From a team standpoint it would be seriously cool if every player had one. It could start a national trend.
I can't grow a mustache. Hot Rod style?
Glue pubes to your face
PM sent with a picture of Snow when he had a mustache and me when I had a mustache.
I better get some rep.
For looking like Nate Tomlinson's brother?
He, obviously, decided to attempt to mirror his best critic. Besides, such speculation is scurrilous and without basis.

there's a lot of begging going on in here
Thorburn on Jenkins.
It's looking more and more like everyone is going to owe Rugged & Snow rep (on here) and shots (at the Dark Horse).

alright. Now i'm annoyed. I called it first dammit! Way first! Rugged is riding on my coat tails!
But whatever, its awesome that UM came after him, and even more awesome that he stuck with Tad.
If he can translate this 40% from three to the college game he may see a lot of time this year. One of the big struggles the Buffs had this year was when teams packed in the defense and challenged our players to drive into them. We had a very good slashing team but opponents took away the space to do that. Since Levi graduated we haven't had anyone who could consistently make teams pay for backing off.
Jenkins could provide that threat and as an added bonus at 6'7" he is tall enough that he can shoot over most guards easily meaning that teams can't just play a zone with a guard out top running at the shooter. They will have to defend him with a forward which will open up space for the slashers which is exactly what Tad wants to do.
I don't know if CU found Tad as much as Tad found CU but I am glad he's here and even happier that the wants to stay. Every time I wonder why Tad is in on a kid or makes a certain decision time proves out how much ahead of the curve he is.
