He has been in a gang for years. The recruiting interest on him was never high (relative to his ranking) because he has been apart of the gang since junior high. He smokes a ton of weed and is very open about it. I've known of Jalen for many years and we all knew he really didn't have much of a chance. He's a superb talent, and its sad. Unfortunately, a large portion of the group that included him and Joseph Lewis were apart of that lifestyle.
In terms of Lewis, I knew it hurt KW when he didn't come up to Nebraska, because he knew that Joseph had a high chance of getting in trouble if he stayed in South Central.
