The nation’s No. 1 overall recruit has plenty of options to consider as he decides the next step of his basketball career, choosing between an array of collegiate and professional avenues to spend his (likely) one-and-done season prior to making the jump to the NBA.
Jalen Duren is down to 11 options, with Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Miami (FL), Memphis, Michigan, Penn State, UCLA and Villanova left standing among college programs, along with the G League and National Basketball League (NBL) being included among professional options.
The headlining talent at the 2021 Pangos All-American Camp in Las Vegas, Duren sat down with KSR to discuss his recruitment, upcoming visits, the pros and cons of going pro out of high school, and upcoming name, image and likeness rules, among other topics.
