Jenkins is ranked 82nd in the ESPN HoopGurlz Top 100 rankings, making her second in the top 100 for ESPN, along with four-star PG Kate Sears of North Carolina, who is ranked 85th. She is also the third ESPN Top 100 recruit to choose the Hokies since the arrival of Megan Duffy, joining Sears and 2024 signee Kayl Petersen of Wisconsin, who was ranked 68th in the class of 2024.
She likely profiles as a four, although she should have the versatility to work in the middle at times depending on what lineups the Hokies might want to use.
Yes, Jenkins may be a former Marquette member, but this is still an impressive recruiting win for Virginia Tech's new staff to bring her from the Midwest to Blacksburg while she was attracting a lot of interest. Landing three ESPN Top 100 recruits in the span of a few months, even if there were two that Marquette had previously committed, is a pretty impressive recruiting moment for Megan Duffy and takes away some of the concerns about how her ceiling might affect a recruiter. used to be.
Having a foundation of Sears and Jenkins is a good start to what could be a big class for the Hokies, especially since Tech is only filling 11 of the 15 scholarships on their 2024-2025 roster

Quite frankly, I think we might rather hit the transfer portal for 1-2 more veterans, as we will only be losing Ekh and Micheaux to graduation, and will only have 1 graduate in 2025.
That being said, if we are to only go for 2-3 more Frs in the 2025 class, I'd love to see Nyla Brooks, Zhen Craft, and Nylah Wilson to round out the class with a bang
