Five-Star Jalen Duren names Top 11, considering two pro options
By JACOB POLACHECK
Class of 2022 five-star big Jalen Duren has named a Top 11, but only nine of those options are colleges.
Duren, the 6-foot-10, 230-pound center from Montverde (FL) Academy, lists Villanova, Michigan, Miami, Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, UCLA, Penn State and Memphis as his top nine schools.
He is also considering the NBA G-League and Australian NBL.
“Jalen has a chance to be an NBA All-Star,” Team Final coach James Johns said. “He just continues to get better. If this is about potential then Jalen Duren is the No. 1 player in this class. Nobody has been able to be more productive and still have such a high ceiling than him.”
