There's a good amount of video on YouTube for this player - check it out.
VC has him at 6'1" and the article in the General Recruiting thread says he is 6'4".
If he has really grown to 6'4", he has a chance to be special.
When he sets up to shoot, he looks like a right handed EC.

Nice player. Scoring PG. Would be a nice addition.

[rhodyblue12]

The more I watch, the more I like this player:



Yes, it is a highlight video ... but if you watch, in all cases he is making the right basketball play.
Legit quickness and has some wiggle to his game which should allow him to create shots for teammates at the college level.
Good find by TJ.

[SandorClegane]

Lightning quick first step. Knocked down a bunch from deep.

[reef]

Looks like he is not playing against great competition but his talent definitely stands out good 3 point shooter very quick and can get to the hoop

[Jersey77]

Now that he is playing his senior season in Arizona, I wonder if many of the the western universities will have him on their radar. I have a feeling he is going to to see if his recruiting heats up and wait until spring signing to commit.

[rhodyblue12]

I hope we don't lose contact. Seeing him as 6'4" 195lbs everywhere. Combined with that quickness, he'd be tough to guard.

Related to Kendrick?

[Jersey77]

Related to Kendrick?

Probably not (at least immediate), Kendrick is from Chicago and Jayden is from Flint, Mi.

Wow surprisingly held during a Covid ?? Are coaches allowed to attend ??

[CamsRams]

[CamsRams]

Any timeline on Nunn's decision? Is he going to play AZ and see what his recruitment looks like in the spring?

[CamsRams]

Noticed Nunn/RhodyMBB started following each other on IG recently. Hope that's a nice sign. Not sure how eligibility of Shep and Fatts next year will factor into this last opening. DC was asked about it on the coaches show and he said he handn't thought about it much as it was a stressful topic.

It would be nice, if he fills out our final open spot. Every program will struggle with their rosters and recruiting with all the players getting an additional year of eligibility.

[rhodyblue12]

Nice player. Looks noticeably stronger than in his Junior year highlight video.
He'd be a really good fit here.

[Jersey77]

Jayden Nunn who is one of our top remaining targets for '21 is off to a nice start for Dream City/ Arizona in his first 3 games averaging over 18 pts/ 4 assists/ 5 rebounds per game.

[The Dude]

He looks like a solid player who has a great touch, especially when finishing around the rim with contact, which is quite the skill to have at his age. What stuck out to me in the highlight video is that he hit his shots from a variety of spots (3pt, just inside 3pt, top of the key, dunking with someone around him, layups with guys all around him & pumping the ball to get an open avenue to the glass). He seems to have quite the skill set.

[Jersey77]

Latest game against Bella Vista 11/8, also Aisaiah Phillips ('21 guard) plays for Bella Vista which URI was showing interest in:

FINAL
Dream City Christian (AZ) 104
Bella Vista Prep (AZ) 81
AIF Player of the Game: Jayden Nunn 36p (12/19 FG, 4/5 3FG) 4r 5a 5s 2b

[TruePoint]

I like this guy.

[CamsRams]

[CamsRams]

[Jersey77]

As I posted earlier, I don't think he will make a decision till the spring, tomorrow is the final day foe early signing. These graduating seniors and prep kids will have to compete with all the immediate eligible transfers for roster spots, once the new rule gets approved.

[Jersey77]

Heard Kansas reaching out to Jayden Nunn

Also from the Des Moines Register:
Jayden Nunn, CG, Dream City (Arizona)

I reported on Nov. 17 that Nunn, a 6-foot-4 guard originally from Flint, Michigan, was having a Zoom visit with Iowa State's coaching staff that day. A couple hours later, he had an Iowa State offer. The Cyclones love his scoring ability and versatility on the perimeter — but so do plenty other schools as his stock blossoms.
That includes Kansas, which I've heard is paying close attention to Nunn.

[RhodeIslandBorn]

Yikes, Kansas involved... don’t like our chances

[Rhody15]

Yikes, Kansas involved... don’t like our chances

Kansas also was involved with Harris!

[Jersey77]

Cox had a strong relationship and history with Harris and he was also from the DMV. Jayden's recruitment looks like it is blowing up with offers and interest from the P5 schools. Also him playing in Arizona this year, probably doesn't work in our favor. If Cox and T.J. could snag this kid, that would be extremely impressive.

[Jersey77]

He is putting together a nice senior season so far:

No. 22 Dream City Christian (AZ) G Jayden Nunn
@nunn_jayden
23 PTS, 10 REB, 2 STL in a win over Tennessee Prep
@DCCHoops

[CamsRams]

Looks like he’s committing at 4pm. Anybody got Intel? I think his top offer is Iowa State

[DC_Rams]

I think when we took Chance Stevens it may have eliminated us. We will see.

I would still like them to get a quality guard in this class (21'), Chance is nice for 22', but a lot can happen till then.

[CamsRams]

This kids a player. Hope we can snag him.

Depends on how Cox intends to use him. If he’s a PG, then we need him. If he’s a SG, we don’t need another.

[DC_Rams]

My guess is ISU

[CamsRams]

Yup. ISU it is

[Jersey77]

My guess is ISU

DC, Just a gut feeling?

They have a commitment from 4* PG Tyrese Hunter

Iowa State also waiting on CG 5* Hunter Sallis , in his top 8
Also for Iowa State: 4* wing Alden Applewhite in his top 5 and 4* CG Drew Williams in his top 3.
They are also warm on CG Wesley Cardet and wing Jordan Shorter

[Jersey77]

Yup. ISU it is

Oh well, on to the next. Iowa State getting it done recruiting

[rhodyblue12]

Too bad, this player looked like a good fit. Interesting to see how the ISU guard situation plays out.
If two of those other prospects sign, maybe Nunn will be less enthused about heading there.

In any case, maybe we can turn our attention to a big that may need a redshirt year to gain strength?

[CamsRams]

[Jersey77]

I would love to see us make another run at this kid, especially if we don't get much interest from some of the higher profile transfers.

Probably still a longshot to get him, though.

[SandorClegane]

This is a really pointed post. Makes you wonder what the new coaching staff is doing... he takes a not so subtle shot at the new coach.

[Jersey77]

[Rhodymob05]

Wow thats awkward.

[Jersey77]

Crystal Ball predictions now showing him 100% to VCU.

He dropped 42 pts in a game this year,

I really liked him and was hoping we would get him. This could turn out to be another Bones situation.

[reef]

Wow be a big get for VCU

[Jersey77]

Jayden Nunn commits to VCU, excellent addition for Rhoades and his staff. They seem to do a great job recruiting and I think all their scholarships are now full for this upcoming season.

[Jersey77]

He should be an impact player at VCU.
I was hoping we would of landed him, he was one of my favorite recruits.

[rhodyblue12]

Every time I read the recruiting page, I feel like buying season tickets for UConn and VCU.
