Mike Anthony of The Hartford Courant writes about the praise that Hofstra’s junior Charles Jenkins received from UConn’s head coach Jim Calhoun.
Said Calhoun: “He’s such an unusual player. He’s certainly got an opportunity, with some work on range, to maybe play at the next level.”
Jenkins recorded 25 points and dished out 8 assist in Hofstra’s loss to the Huskies on Tuesday night. The 6’3” Junior also scored 23 points in a loss to the #1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks last week.
Jenkins is definitely someone who I will continue to watch. Right now I would have to say he is a 2nd round type player since he is more of a combo guard than anything else. If he can improve his outside jumper and limit the turnovers he has potential to be a good sleeper pick in the second round.
