2019 Recruiting
« on: December 12, 2017, 10:47:38 am »
While the 2018 class will be a big one, 2019 will be light, with just Cornish coming off the books for sure. Yeboah could go the Nyama route and go pro after graduating; no clue whether that's the thought but it makes some sense. And then there's the question of whether anyone transfers out, which I could see happening with a crowded backcourt.

What's interesting is there are 29 offers out according verbal commits for only 1 available spot. Granted some of these offers are reaches, especially Jalen Lecque who is a 5 star that is ranked 14th in his class according ESPN. Still wonder if the staff plans to save one of the remaining scholarships from 2018 for 2019 or if they know have players than plan to leave early or what have you.

not sure if this is the right thread or if we need a new one- some 3 stars have shown up on the radar (yes, it's early):

Dominiq Penn (looking at the B10)

For you rabid recruiting folks, Zed Key '20 and Brentwood will play at Ward Melville on Monday. 4pm tip. He had 18 and 15 in their first meeting.

VerbalCommits said that our offer's in as well as a few other schools. From the footage, he's decent, but may just be a kid who's using his size (6-6/6-7) to put up numbers against Long Island public schools. Of course, he's just a sophomore.

This should be a good game. Zed Key will be up against  Sobel, 6'-7" WM senior, He is a really good defender on the boards. I know his dad and his younger brother..

Correction: game is Tuesday at their place! I got the whole thing wrong!

When it's all Said and Done Zed Key will be a MM+/ Borderline HM recruit.
Though he's 6'7 he has a tremendous wingspan and standing reach which compensates for his lack of Height. He also plays with a good motor.

Per Pat Lawless, we have Bloomfield (NJ) guard Mike Ramos on our radar. VC says he has offers from Manhattan and Kent State, and that we and Columbia are in to watch him tonight. 6-1 guard. If Columbia's in the mix, he's obviously no dummy.

More on Ramos: https://www.tapinto.net/towns/bloomfield/articles/boys-basketball-ramos-sets-high-expectations-for

A couple more crumbs from Lawless: we caught ‘19 guards Heru Bligen and Chris Ings at games at the end of January. We’ve made an offer to both.

Checkmate, Mike Ramos is the best out of the 3 you mentioned. Plays AAU ball for the NY Jayhawks(Same Club as Frankie Pollicelli). Kid can shoot the ball. Is creative with his dribble but doesn't over dribble. Makes the simple play. Has sneaky athleticism. Good first step. His recruitment can get interesting when AAU ball rolls around. If SBU can get him in 2019 to replace Cornish it's a GOOD get. Ings is the toughest kid of the bunch. Played behind Quade Green (McDonald's AA, Current UK PG) his Frosh and Sophomore years of HS. With Green off to Kentucky now, Ings has the keys for Neumann Goretti HS in the tough philly catholic league. He's 6'2 has solid vision, is athletic at the rim. And flat out tough and battle tested.Wont back down from anything. He'd be a good get as well. But Ramos's jumpshot makes him a better player. Ings is the tougher player.
