USA today article on him. Faces life in prison if convicted on all accounts. Sad.

This is really sad. This is why it is important that these kids find a good support group to help them make good life decisions.

He has been in a gang for years. The recruiting interest on him was never high (relative to his ranking) because he has been apart of the gang since junior high. He smokes a ton of weed and is very open about it. I've known of Jalen for many years and we all knew he really didn't have much of a chance. He's a superb talent, and its sad. Unfortunately, a large portion of the group that included him and Joseph Lewis were apart of that lifestyle. 

 

In terms of Lewis, I knew it hurt KW when he didn't come up to Nebraska, because he knew that Joseph had a high chance of getting in trouble if he stayed in South Central.

Not trying to make light of his situation but that's really bad.

 

But it's kind of sad to see that that most of the Riley recruiting hype either visited but weren't really interested (Parsons) or had some pretty serious off-the-field issues so didn't have much of a chance of succeeding anyway (Hall, Lewis and 1-2 more Cali guys).
