Doors are about to be opened for Rondae Jefferson. That's assuming they haven't been opened already.

The junior, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound small forward, plays at Chester - the reigning PIAA Class AAAA champion poised for a repeat. Jefferson spent the summer playing for the United States Developmental National Team, reserved for the country's top 27 U-16 players. Jefferson has a page at ESPN.com dedicated to him. And -- oh, by the way -- ESPN, Scout.com and Rivals.com all rate him as a four-star-or-better college recruit.

Among the schools that have offered him a scholarship: La Salle, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Saint Joseph's, Temple and Villanova. Among the schools that have interest: Well, there are too many to list.

Does this faze Jefferson at all?

"Not really," he said this week. "Actually, no, not at all. I don't worry about any of that. I just play basketball."

"He's got everybody and his mother looking at him," said Chester coach Larry Yarbray, of Jefferson. "He's got to keep working. At times, it's because he's a naturally gifted ballplayer, he can turn it on and off when he wants to."

We'll see if Jefferson has it turned on tonight, when Chester goes against Christ the King (N.Y.) in a meeting of teams that opened the season among the nationally ranked.
