Virginia Tech Transfer Jalen Cone Commits to Northern Arizona After Seeing Max Abmas Dominate March

Last month when Jalen Cone decided he wanted to transfer from Virginia Tech for his final two seasons, he purposed in his mind to choose fit over name.

Like most hoops fans, Cone was glued to the TV watching the madness that is March unfold in Indianapolis, specifically as it pertained to Oral Roberts’s run behind star guard Max Abmas.

Cone and Abmas are roughly the same height with similar styles, and Abmas led the country in scoring during the regular season, posting 24.1 points a game. He upped that production to 27.1 points a game before eventually falling to Arkansas in the Sweet 16.
