Five-star prospect Jalen Green told Marc Spears of The Undefeated that he is targeting April 15 to make a decision on his collegiate future ahead of next season.
Green is the No. 3 overall prospect of the 2020 class, according to 247Sports. He has visited schools like Kentucky, Oregon, Memphis, Auburn and Florida State among others. He initially wanted to announce his commitment on Christmas Day but pushed it back to see how those schools performed this season.
Of course, when Green may eventually play is still undecided with the coronavirus spreading across the United States. The pandemic has canceled several prep sporting events, including the 2020 McDonald’s All American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic, games Green was set to participate in.
Green was disappointed when those events were scrubbed.
“I was hurt. I am not going to lie. Those are all games you dream about as a senior,” Green told Spears. “When I found it was canceled, it was heartbreaking, low-key. But I’m good. Everything happens for a reason. They’re not going to bring it back, but just to be announced as a player selected for that is cool. So, I have that honor.”
While Green waits to make his decision, the Prolific Prep star will stay busy taking online courses and working out when can but the coronavirus outbreak has made it difficult for athletes to stay in the gym.
Green is the No. 2 prospect in the 2021 Rookie Wire Mock Draft.
