  • Vs Male - Had a double double and player of the game. Jenkins was active on both ends of the court, using his motor and athleticism to make an impact. Finishing with 21 points and 11 rebounds, Jenkins was crashing the offensive glass and scoring on second chance points. I really enjoy how hard Jenkins plays, with six offensive rebounds and five fouls drawn, Jenkins combines that motor with impressive athleticism and is a very productive player. Jenkins also had a game-high four steals and led Frederick Douglass in minutes played, showing his value to his team on the court.

  • Frederick Douglass and Butler had a battle in what was the most highly anticipated game of the day. I was really impressed with Jenkins ability to go coast to coast off rebounds and steals, turning defense into offense for his team. Combine that with a couple 3-pointers off the catch and a motor that never stops and Jenkins was one of the most impactful players on the court. Right now, there aren’t many teams in all of Kentucky I’d pick over Frederick Douglass.

  • https://mycamp.exactsports.com/pr_share/94111/99cc3344-7f22-491b-a0bb-2c992bf1080c. Jaunte was a pleasure to coach. He plays the game with great passion and enthusiasm. He's a tough kid that plays the game with great pace. He's methodical in his approach as he looks for ways to pick the defense apart. Jaunte showed the ability to score at all 3 Levels, Using his ability to stretch the defense with long range shots, that kept them off balance which allowed him to get into the lane and to the basket early and often. Jaunte used his great vision to effective find open teammates for easy scoring opportunities. Jaunte was also effective on the defensive end harassing the offense and forcing them into bad shots or turnovers. Next in Jaunte development will be to become a more consistent rebounder and defender. Sometimes he was noticed to have drift in and out of focus when off the ball. Jaunte must continue to get stronger and talk more while on the floor.

  • Titan Shootout
  • 6/16/23 to 6/18/23
  • Made it to the final four. The KABC Titans Shootout brought lots of the top talent from Kentucky to Shelbyville for teams to compete during the first June live period weekend. I caught action from start to finish on Saturday and these were my 2025 and 2026 standouts from the host state. Woodford County lost superstar Jasper Johnson to national powerhouse Link Academy, they still managed to make it to the final four of the 64 team bracket. Jenkins was impressive with his quickness and ability to get into the lane. Best when the game was going up and down, the faster the tempo, the better Jenkins was. Able to finish through contact with acrobatic finishes at the rim and make dump passes to his forwards, Jenkins was tough to stop with a head of steam going to the basket. I expect Jenkins to receive scholarship interest next spring and summer if he continues to develop as a prospect.

  • Sophomore Season recap
  • 6/13/23 to 6/13/23
  • After an action-packed year of high school basketball action in the Bluegrass State, it’s time to look back at some of the most explosive performers from last season. Today, we will be continuing my “Bluegrass State Standouts” series as we begin to breakdown some intriguing rising juniors, beginning with point guards. Without any further ado, here’s my list of the top 2025 point guards in the state of Kentucky to keep an eye on this upcoming season. At number four on my list of outstanding players is Jaunte Jenkins , a 6-foot-2 point guard at Woodford County High School. Jenkins was an explosive weapon for the Yellow Jackets during his sophomore season of high school basketball last year. In 35 games, Jenkins was one of the more efficient scorers and rebounders on the team, picking up a grand total of 196 points and 50 rebounds, averaging 5.6 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. Jenkins additionally shot 44.0% (73-166) from field goal range, 37.6% (35-93) from beyond the arc and 53.6% (15-28) from the free throw line. With impressive size, speed and explosiveness on both sides of the floor, Jenkins made significant contributions to the boards last season and will be an intriguing point guard prospect to keep an eye on this upcoming season.

  • Jaunte Jenkins (Woodford County (KY) H.S. 2025): Jenkins is an aggressive 6’2″ guard that had his offensive talent on full display through the Indiana Prospect Showcase on Sunday evening. After playing a role off of the bench for Woodford County, who advanced to the KHSAA Sweet 16 semifinals less than two weeks ago, the skilled guard showed what he can do against some of the top talent up in the Hoosier state. He has a smooth pull-up jump shot, is excellent driving the ball to his right hand, and has good size in the backcourt. Definitely a name to watch coming out of the state of Kentucky.

With all the talent at Woodford County, it would be easy for JJ to get lost in the shuffle. On Saturday, Jenkins looked like an impact player for the Jackets this season. The long sophomore showed he can create his own offense or get teammates open looks. He’s a 2025 to keep eyes on this season for sure.

Good ballhandling ability to create his own shot. A decent and active penetrator on offense. A good contact guard that facilitates and moves and cut well without the ball. A guard that goes hard on both ends and does a great job of getting after loose balls. Runs the floor well in transition. Best defensive to offensive player at camp. Must get quicker with his shot and footwork. Continue to work on your handle and dribble moves. Sharpen your court vision. Build up strength to handle bigger guards.
