Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Jasen Brooks
Class: 2023
Committed to: UC San Diego
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Brooks led the charge once again, and he is a name that continues to have a strong summer for Pro One. He is a strong tone-setter on the floor, really showing the ability to dictate the offense, find ways to score in a variety of ways, and score from multiple levels on the floor. He really elevated his game in the second half early on Day 4, scoring 17 of his 22 points to help secure a tough win.” – Patrick O’Brien at Coach Rick TOC
“It’s easy to appreciate the balance within this Pro One Biven squad, but Brooks quite clearly set the tone for this group. He’s a strong, polished guard prospect who comfortably dictates the action with the ball in his hands. Brooks is great at getting downhill and finishing through contact but also shoots the ball at a very high percentage—both off the catch and bounce. He set up others, defended his position, and rebounded well for his size.” – Jeff Bendel at Summer Havoc
“Me, my mom, and my high school head coach Reggie Tucker had a phenomenal zoom call with the entire UC San Diego coaching staff. The staff has made me a priority and feel as if I fit their style of play and system very well. Coach Book has been showing interest in me since the start of last high school season. He visited me at my high school, and we have created a solid relationship. They explained and showed me on film how my versatility of being able to play on and off the ball would be used. Coach Olen stated that when he and his staff find a player that can align with their program, it makes it easy for them to progress with that player. Also, they liked the way I defend on and off the ball. On the offensive end, they like how I can consistently knock down the three and how I can score any many ways but also how I can make plays for others. Coach Olen is someone that I can see myself competing for but most importantly growing under as a young man. We talked more about other things than just basketball and you can tell that he cares about his players. I’m looking forward to taking my official visit to UC San Diego and building a relationship with Coach Olen and the rest of the staff.” – Brooks when he received an offer from UC San Diego back in Aug 2022
“I can be a scorer on and off the ball, I can defend out of my position, hustle, and I can get paint touches to help get my teammates open. I’m also vocal on defense, I can be a role player, and bring leadership.” – Brooks in what he can provide on the court
