Jalen Crues brings size and upside to Benedictine’s front court
Jalen Crues is a 6'6" freshman forward for Benedictine (IL), giving the Eagles a long, physically promising wing-forward body who was listed as a forward on the current roster and previously profiled as a power forward in the 2024 recruiting cycle[1][2][3]. Publicly available team pages do not yet show season statistics for him, so the read here is more about projection than production: he looks like a developmental piece with positional size, local Illinois roots, and the kind of frame coaches can mold into a versatile defender and rebounder[2][3].
