Good info by Yung on this one. Hopefully we'll get some interviews soon. Looks like he's got nice length.
 
AAU Clips of Chris Jenkins

Kid can play and has a huge upside. Long, athletic, skilled...added strength and weight and could be headed to next level after college.
 
Welcome to the Black & Gold!

Hell ya! Can I get an analysis on his game?

Not a whole lot out there right now that I'm finding. Watching that video, I'm impressed with his athleticism and his left hand. Would love to see more of his shooting. Right now I'm picturing him being a slashing type swingman. I found an article from the CMU Rivals site that has some interesting info.

Most schools are looking to play Jenkins at shooting guard or small forward, but some are considering him to move to power forward. The Chippewas would likely play him on the wing at the two or three spot in the offense.

Sounds like both Michigan and Stanford were interested as well, but no idea if they actually offered.
 
Jenkins did an interview with UMHoops.com in March.

Chris Jenkins is a versatile wing out of U of D Jesuit High School, Jordan Morgan’s alma mater. I got a chance to talk with him about the recruiting process, what he thinks of Michigan, and his relationship with Morgan.

Describe your game. I kind of changed my game from last year. I’m really letting the game come to me. I start the game by shooting a couple of jumpshots to see if my shot’s falling. If it’s not falling, I turn into a slasher — I slash to the basket and I try to get some midrange shots in there and try to take it to the hole to get to the free throw line. But if my shots are falling, then it’s going to be a long day at the 3-point line (laughs).

This is the video cnbuff410 just posted. Love the spin move at the beginning. Kid looks skinny.
 
The knock on Jenkins in Big 10 country seemed to be that he was soft. He wasn't a guy who mixed it up inside or taking it to the basket. More of a finesse player. Later articles and blogs I saw made it sound like he became more aggressive.

I think he's a really good fit for us and the Pac-12. Lots of upside here. You can't coach his length and versatility. You can't coach a scorer's mentality that allowed him to put up 28.3 in Detroit basketball last year. He probably needs some time in the weight room and some work on his ball handling so he can play a little point and also lead the break when the opportunity's there.

Would be amazing if he is a very reliable 3pt shooter.
 
reminds me of the #11 we just lost in that highlight. Maybe ab etter outside shot.
 
Saw him and his dad on Friday while I was waiting for the bus but couldn't figure out who it was.

Welcome!
 
Adam gives us confirmation as well.

The #Buffs landed their third men's basketball pledge from the Class of 2012 this weekend: Chris Jenkins, a versatile player from Detroit.

Nice! I think Nik or Goose broke the news that he was interested in CU. Good job guys and welcome aboard Chris!
