LeBron James, JaKarr Sampson and Jerome Lane.
The trio of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School alums have all played basketball at the highest level, competing in the NBA for a combined 23 seasons.
Florida guard Jalen Hudson, a former player at the Akron high school, is hoping to follow in their footsteps.
“He’s definitely in the top five,” said St. Vincent-St. Mary coach Dru Joyce II on where Jalen sits among the school’s all-time best players. “We’ll see how it all pans out.”
Jalen, now in his redshirt junior year of college, is having a breakout 2017-18 campaign at UF, scoring at a higher rate than any Gator over the last eight years.
