MACK ON REYNOLDS: "Jalen is an explosive finisher who can rebound the ball at a very high level. His commitment level to our program has never wavered. He plays with a huge chip on his shoulder and backs down to no one."

HIGHLY RANKED: Ranked as a three-star recruit by ESPN.com and ranked No. 91 by Scout.com.

AT BREWSTER ACADEMY (N.H.): Played one season at Brewster Academy with current XU teammate SEmaj Christon...helped lead his team to a 33-1 record and a prep school national championship... played with Jakarr Sampson (St. John's), Aaron Thomas (Florida State), Mitch McGary (Michigan), T.J. Warren (N.C. State) and Joe Bramanti (Wright State)...former Musketeers Mark Lyons and Andre Walker also played at Brewster...basketball coach: Jason Smith.

JASON SMITH ON REYNOLDS: "Reynolds has a tremendous amount of God-given ability. He finishes well around the basket and can step out and shoot it but some of things he can do on the court athletically are at an elite level. He made a play in one game where he faked in the open court, spun around a guy and drove in for a powerful dunk. His best basketball is ahead of him."
