NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Pros and cons for each landing spot for Jaden McDaniels
By Josh Stevens
Through most of the NCAA Basketball recruitment of Jaden McDaniels, he;s been very quiet and just enjoying the process. With time quickly winding down where will he end up.
Jaden McDaniels is my favorite NCAA Basketball player in the class of 2019 to watch. He is long athletic, has good knowledge of the game, and will only get better. His frame is something that I really love, he is listed at 6’11”, and he could still be growing. He is very light though at 185 pounds, but a high-level D-1 workout routine could see him add weight in a hurry.
You look at some recruits this year, and while it is loaded with depth, and players that have their own special trait all the way to 100, McDaniels, in my opinion, has one of the highest ceilings in the class. He is a big man that will step out a shoot an occasional 3, but he can also beat you off the dribble. McDaniels also has very good defensive instincts and will be able to guard multiple positions due to his size. He is going to be a coaches worst nightmare when he gets the next level.
He has four schools that are truly in the running for him. All of them are in different coaches, so while it will be a loss to not get him, they might want to thank their lucky stars they will not have to play him twice or at all like other schools. Those schools are Kentucky, San Diego State, Texas, and Washington. I think each of these schools has the possibility of signing Jaden McDaniels and I’m going to look at the pros and cons of each of these schools.
