I know what you mean, I'll always remember when he was a freshman I believe at the Mandan holiday tourney. It was a fast break and this 5' 8" kid goes up and dunks it.Everyone in the gym reached for their programs to see how tall he was, and were like "did I just see what I thought I saw!" Since he was pretty young he could jump up and hit his head on the backboard, very fun player to watch. Ones like him don't come around very often, I wish they did thou!
Also remember when he was about an 8th grader a kid stole the ball and went for a layup. Jaden came up from behind and kinda jumped over him, pinned the ball to the glass and swatted it off. He was called for goaltending I believe!
Him and Denver Tenbroek were very special athletes indeed, I'm just glad I was able to see allot of their games!:):)
For those of you that never got to see Tenbroek play just imagine a 6' 4" Jaden that could not only leap "went 7' in the high jump" but could absolutely shoot the lights out from beyond the arch. He went on to become the all time scorer at NDSU. I was in that packed little gym one night when the folks from stanford who were rated #1 at the time came in to watch him play.
