De'Riante Jenkins to VCU per twitter...

Hale, are you shocked on this as much as I am? This really does hurt as it happened before his official visit to the Notre Dame game. Brad needs to start turning more recruits once the new facilities open.

Here are quotes on Jenkins choosing VCU. Sounds like Brad didnt make him feel like a priority compared to Wade:

I was surprised. For a while, I thought if there was going to be someone other than Clemson, it would be Tennessee. But I always believed Clemson was the team to beat.

For Jenkins, the Havoc style of play fits his game, probably a little more than Brownell's. Jenkins isn't a great shooter...not yet. I think that will improve with time.

He can slash, get out and run with the ball in his hands in the open court and he's got the size/length to defend/play a number of different positions for VCU.

I think he'll do well there. To me, Jenkins is a better fit for that style of play than Tevin Mack, where as Mack is probably better suited for Brownell's style.
