Jalen Hudson (no. 3) skies through the air on a dunk

Recruiting is heating up for 6’5″, 190-pound shooting guard Jalen Hudson , a rising senior out of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. The University of Virginia extended a scholarship offer to Hudson last Tuesday, July 30. Arkansas, Tulane, VCU, U-Mass, and Virginia Tech have followed suit, with Tech coming through with an offer on Saturday, August 4.

“It feels great,” Hudson said of his recent recruiting success. Akron, George Mason, Miami (OH), and Ohio are among the schools that had offered prior to last week’s run. “Definitely I know my hard work is paying off. I was glad to be able to showcase my abilities [in July]. It is great to be able to play your best basketball in the biggest times. I am pretty excited, and I think there are a lot more offers to come. I’m still keeping my options open.”
