SOLO_Gold Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 A 6'7" PF....now that's just what we need!...Is this kid any good?...... Evidently the kid is a bit raw but has HUGE upside. He has a good frame and although he has only picked up "official" offers from ORU and Jacksonville St., OU has been looking at him for awhile. Here's a link to his 2011 highlights: http://youtu.be/B8JrUfwXuj8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Is there any new news about these guys? They look good in the video above! I'll answer my own question. The twins are attending McLennan Community College in Waco, TX. Here's a link to the basketball roster: http://www.mclennan.edu/athletics/basketball/roster/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 thanks for the updates SOLO_Gold. side note: what i learned from the shaq morris youtube mix tape...apparently, "Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gonna pay it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The twins are at a community college? I thought they were headed for a prep school. Does this mean they are going the juco route and will have to lose two years of eligibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 just a guess....even w/some scholarship, sending your kid half way across the country to attend prep school can't be cheap. imagine trying to send two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Ugh, looks that way... "Juco typically refers to players who play at a two-year school initially, earn an associate's degree, and then transfer into a four-year college with two seasons' eligibility remaining. Because these players have completed degree programs, they are not obligated to sit out a year like other transfer students." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 It depends on why they went to the juco. If they went to catch up on required school work, then they have to earn that associate's (2-year) degree before they could come to a place like ORU. But, in some instances, they can transfer out of juco after just one season, IF they could have qualified for NCAA D-1 out of high school anyway. Kelvin Sango is an example of that: he played one year at a juco and three at ORU. I seem to recall at least of the twins could have qualified this year at ORU, but the other couldn't. Theoretically, the one in good standing out of high school could move on to a D-1 school next season and begin play as a sophomore, but the brother who didn't have the grades can't.

ORUTerry Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The Jenkins twins landed at McLennan Community College in Waco, TX. http://www.mclennan....sketball/roster http://www.mclennan....=Ramond_Jenkins http://www.mclennan....=Romond_Jenkins update: oops, I see where SoloGold actually posted this information some time back - on the first page. I should have checked first. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenj Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 A prep school would have been better. A juco means they are wide open and will probably end up at a Big 12 type of school. Oh well on to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I seem to remember that one of them may have had eligibility issues and therefore had to attend juco - while the other twin wanted to play with his brother. Wonder if both of them will stay in juco for the 2 years - or will they split up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 So what happened to the big press conference where the twins announced they were going to ORU?.....all for show?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenj Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Somebody does and that's what counts. They are 6'7" Larry Owens type of athletes. I don't think ORU would have sent them that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 it sounds like ORU is putting the hard court press on Aaron Anderson at Edmond Santa Fe. http://twitter.com/#!/iamBwilllis "Coach Suttons in the building."

ORUJason Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Could have meant that Coach Sutton's in the building (Coach Sutton is in the building) but forgot the apostrophe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
