July Recruiting Recap: Jared Hankins (2019)
Jared Hankins
6’5 | SG | 2019
Lawrence North (IN) | Indiana Elite Fastbreak 2019
Offers: Indiana State, Dodge City C.C., St. Bonaventure, Miami (OH)
Where His Recruitment Is At: For Jared, he’s been waiting on that first offer for a while but he’s now picked it up and starting to amass a hoard of them. Miami (OH) coming through was big as they have been on him since that staff took over more than a year ago. Now, with St. Bonaventure and Indiana State coming through, the flood gates might open as Hankins looks like he’s hitting his stride this July at the perfect time. He’s impressive when he is on and it wouldn’t shock it these four offers turned into 10 by the end of the month. Not sure that high-major offer will come but he’s more than deserving of the MM programs in the Valley.
Scouting Report: Hankins is a bucket-getter. Big time scorer who has the size and attitude to be a big time producer at the next level. He’s still got a little bit of an up-and down game but combats that by not really playing himself into a hole. Good rhythm shooter who can create on the perimeter and in transition. He’s not short on ways to produce points as he’s also very good driving to the rim and using his bounds of athletic ability. Will play with energy and support on the defensive end of the court. At the next level, he’s likely to produce early on as a bench player but could quickly turn into your most reliable scorer.
