Apparently FSU, UF and USC Trojans were in touch and wanted him to wait until Sprong

Yeah I would agree. Now in all fairness, his statement was in response to the question of if he would enroll early. He replied I hope to be there in January if not I leave in June

Probably just to enroll in classes and start using the facility. Football players do it a lot

How would that effect his scholarship though....someone has to pay for the class so it is either him or it comes off his scholarship

plus room and board.
Well, I'm sure they will work it all out and get it straight. Whether it is Jan or Jun, I'm glad he chose VCU!
This was something that I always wondered if Coach Rhoades would recognize as an issue with this team. It seemed that VCU could never get a big man over 6'7" for the past couple of years. Now we have a 7'1", 6'8", and two 6'9 players that could possibly be on the team by January. I would like to see Jalen play the wing if possible. The considerable advantage VCU could have by having a line up that features three players over 6'9" on the court would be huge in the A10. As skilled as the players are in the A10, not a lot of teams have length. VCU doubling down on length will work to their advantage.

Don't think we have an available scholarship in January, though, unless someone is leaving.

Is his prep school in his home town? May be a wash as far as tuition, room and board go if he pays for VCU for a semester.

He may be on scholarship at the prep school. Plus, if he pays his own way this spring, it's going to be out of state tuition.

Can he take a single class and walk-on? Not sure what the rules are. I do know he said he was just thinking about it and am not at all sure this is the plan going forward.
