One of the top high school basketball players in the state of North Carolina from the current Class of 2024, and future Class of 2025
Jaylen Cross leaving Northwest Guilford HS and headed to Caldwell Academy basketball program
I will be transferring to Caldwell Academy and reclassifying to 2025. I would like to thank Northwest Guilford and Coach Reavis for the past 2 years. @Coach_Clifford @CaldwellEagles #wefly pic.twitter.com/CmvqYCsyZZ

SMH !!
I like this move. Why not do the reclass? If i knew about this when i were in HS best believe i would have done it. The move to caldwell maybe a head scratcher for me but hey wish you the best kid.
Let me take that back the destination does not really matter. Reclassification to a younger aau class is the key so again well done kid keep doing your thing.
Not so sure of move. He’s already a 2x all-conference kid who’s on the radar with a great coach. Probably would have been a favorite for player of the year. So what else needs to be done? So Caldwell is the move and not Moravian Prep where he played with those guy’s? Maybe he’s trying to average 30. Either way he’s a outstanding ball player who was gonna get offers this year regardless playing in a tough 4a Metro conference. GD also would be the ideal school. Hope the move works out. Reclassification for this talent really doesn’t make a big difference in my opinion. Good luck on the season young man.
As of today the kid has nada offers that is a fact.
I won’t speak for him and his family but for me guessing this gives him a chance to get those offers. Also I am assuming he checked with college coaches and got that feedback and advice.
All those public schools awards and gso sports awards mean nothing to college coaches sorry Andy lol. Public school hoops is irrelevant these days. They recruit based on brand league high aau performance. He now goes to a younger Nike eybl class and gets an extra year to impress and earn free college education with no student loans. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain with this move.
I never been a fan of the reclassing…if you good you will be seen. Another one gone to a private school smh
Coach Clifford is a good coach but do not like the move on reclassing
Anyone not a fan of reclassing must like paying for college. Every private school reclass their players. It is not for any and everyone. Been happening for years it was rampant in TX FL NY and CA. It is legal. Seems like Caldwell is bringing in some dudes.
