Don't think this has been posted, but I found this article today: https://www.inquirer.com/high-schoo...wn-school-basketball-recruiting-20200124.html
Some interesting information. Pitt is mentioned specifically as a program showing him the most interest, as well as Xavier, Temple, Penn State, and Oregon. He sounds like an interesting kid...he really likes architecture - Pitt, of course, has a fine architecture department, and we're all aware of the variety of interesting buildings on campus that might impress a young architecture fan on a visit.
Some quotes:
“Jalen is so gifted, if you pressure him, he’s going to make you pay,” said Seth Berger, T.J’s father and the Moose’s longtime coach. “If you play half-court defense, he’s going to make you pay. If you play zone, he’s going to make you pay.”
Warley said his priorities for a college program are a trustworthy coaching staff, a challenging schedule, a welcoming school community, and a challenging academic environment. “It will be similar to the high school process, just a coach that I can trust and a program that believes in me and not only has a good basketball program but a good community and high academics,” Warley said.
"His IQ is off the charts and now his skill level has caught up to his IQ,” Seth Berger said. “He’s still young [17]. It’s probably happened faster than he thought. But his goal is to be an NBA basketball player and that goal is now in sight.”
“I’m really fascinated by it (architecture),” Warley said. “I like math. I kind of like drawing and that’s kind of a mixture of the two. Just being able to use my mind in a creative way, similar to basketball, that’s definitely something that’s intriguing to me.”
