Dan, Jalen was referring to where and how he grew up as a youngster. He obviously didn't grow up in Ann Arbor, he just went to college there. He grew up in Detroit, with three siblings, and was raised by his mom who was a key puncher at Chrysler. Maybe not the tough streets, but no silver spoon either....and very far from Grant's upper class upbringing. I suspect his comments about Grant and Duke probably stemmed from jealousy more than anything.

Funny thing is that Duke did in fact recruit his best buddy C Webb.
