Jalen Stokes is a 3 star 6'5 SG out of Daugherty HS in San Ramon. He also had offers from Montana, Missouri-Kansas City, and Texas-Rio Grande Valley.

Daugherty Valley is in San Ramon. That was the home to both Robby Beasley and Connor Sevilla. He just transferred from Dublin (just like Robby Beasley)..

Thanks, Mike, verbalcommits.com listed his hometown as Oakland so I just assumed that Daugherty HS was in Oakland. I'll edit my post.

the EBAL in my neighborhood. He was Dublin’s best player last treat (all league, all area team) but is jumping across the city limits line to go to Daugherty. Bring this trio of EBAL/Daugherty players, I can’t remember anyone from this area coming to Davis.

Good early signing. Les seems to be getting the 6'5" to 6'7" wing type players (Cooper, Roberson, Sangster, Unuakhalu and Gilchrist) so I'm sure we'll see more positionless style of ball. Good tough athletic switching defense leading to transition baskets, or pull it back out and let TY or others beat the defense off the dribble. Should be a fun team to watch.

Bump.

Hopefully we get some more commitments and transfers with the move to mountain west and promise to increase spending on basketball

I think we had to agree to significantly increase the funding for basketball with a focus on elevating our level of competitiveness as a condition of joining the Mountain West.

Can’t win with high school kids at this level. Les needs the support to pay market rate for guys in order to compete in the Big West let alone with Nevada. The good teams are old.
