I am new to the boards, but have read several quotes about JJ. I can tell you this, I have seen a ton of kids play high school basketball in both TN and KY. I have not seen ANYBODY that is as prolific a scorer/shooter as John Jenkins. The only ones close I can remember are Rex Chapman, Alan Houston, or Richie Farmer (from Clay County, KY). And to top it off, he is not your stereotypical, modern day athlete. He keeps his mouth shut and plays the game with pride, dignity, and passion. A kid like him comes around about once every 20 years. You wanna know why John Jenkins is such a good player? Show up at Station Camp at 6:30am and you will likely hear a ball bouncing in the gym. Show up at Station Camp at 8:30 pm and you will likely hear a ball bouncing in the gym. His success has come from HOURS upon HOURS of time in the gym, not just practice time or games. I am a KY fan and I HATE that I am gonna have to watch him torch my Cats for the next 3-4 years, but, it couldn't happen to a nicer, more passionate kid. He IS everything high school basketball is all about.
