Our top recruit, Jalen Stokes, had his transfer from Dublin to Dougherty Valley denied. DV will appeal. Dublin, apparently, objected and asked to have the transfer denied. Ironic since Dublin has benefited from transfers probably more than any other EBAL school.
Stokes won his appeal and has been playing for Daugherty Valley. He scored 32 last night in victory over DeLaSalle and had 47 last week in a loss vs Cal High. He plays this Friday at Granada (here in Livermore) - I plan to go and will pass on my views.
I watched Stokes play last night. 6’5 muscular kid. Scored the bulk of his point on strong drives to the hoop, but he had a really nice mid range jump shot (although it wasn’t dropping). Solid on defense and worked hard on the boards.
Jim Les made the drive down to watch him in person.
