Our next Dominican player. Lav needs Felipe to sit next to him a few times over the next year to solidify his recruitment of this promising point guard.

Supposed to be a lights out shooter

When Gompers HS junior Carlos Galan, a free-spirited shooting guard who exudes a playfulness as one of the city’s top scorers, and Yohan Almonte, a buttoned-down point guard who breathes the game, come together, things click. It’s a chemistry built on shared life experience.
Growing up blocks from each other in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, Almonte and Galan were seldom apart.
Whether it was walking to school together or playing basketball in their neighborhood of San Carlos, their friendship was a bond.

He already knows him if I'm not mistaken

Can he run point?

I've heard he's a combo type but Lavin loves those types of guards. D'Angelo wasn't a pg either, but he had 7 assists as our SG the other day. As somebody had said before, Lavin is not a traditionalist with his offensive style. He recruits guards and forwards and that's it. His recruits fall into one category or the other. I think you'll continue to see combo type guards fill these roles and the use of two primary ball handlers in the backcourt. Both will be able to handle, pass, shoot and score. Don't expect us to often go after pure pg types. Lavin seems to like his pg's to be able to play like sg's as well.

I'll get on the phone with him! I'm Latin my wife is Dominican and I grew up in NYC. No better place in the world for Dominicans than NYC. NYC has the largest Dominican community outside DR. That said, if Pitino gets involved we will have our hands fill. Pitino has had a lot of success with Latino players.

Pitino announcing his retirement probably won't be favorable to quite a few recruits down the line.

This is the last season he's eligible to play in New York...he'll have to prep to play as a senior.
-
Let's hope he doesn't prep at RISE

Haha.
Think hes older than 19? The baseball players that come over in some cases aren't as young as they say

I hope he heads to Bridgton.

Dropped 42 points tonight. I believe he had 39 his last game before that too.

Correct Dave, against a good Kennedy team. Kid can flat out score! Told we love him?

Carlos had another big game last week, 37 points with four 3s.

The fans probably place more emphasis on that than the kids. Besides, if we start to put a consistent product on the floor then pro-Johnnies crowd will come out more consistently. It's unfortunate, but that is how it's gonna be with many SJU "fans."

Opinion of Zach B we are in the driver's seat for Carlos for WIW. Tweeted so today.
-
Averaging 23 points and 5 rebounds.
The shooting numbers must be wrong.

Gonzalo, if those are in fact his 3pt shooting percentages, then the kid is a spectacular shooter.
-
He should shoot his free throws from beyond the arc.

Coach checking out Carlos? Would not be surprised if this kid is an early commit IMHO.

Gompers just lost to Boys & Girls 72- 53 . I am trying to find out now how Galan played. I don't believe Lavin was there however.

He did have a monster game tonight ( Fludd) You won't find a bigger Fludd fan than me.. But I just don't know where he plays at the college level. Classic tweener
-
How good of a leaper is Fludd?
I'm one of the fans who isn't worried at all about our recruiting this season . . . but if we for some horrible reason still don't have bodies two months from now an undersized backup PF is better than no one at all.

Just finished watching the video of the playoff game Galan had vs boys and girls. I still like the kid severe as our guy but Galan has some potential. He finished with 16 points against a far superior boys and girls team that keyed in on him all game. Actually Fludd guarded him most of the game. Galan dosent seem in top shape but has a pretty good handle and a nice stroke. His first step is more deception than speed and his game is more skill than explosiveness. What I liked most however is his sportsmanship, excellent teammate from what I saw! Again I repeat Severe is a stud with a better all around game but if Galan takes his final year as a prep year I'm excited to see what the final product would be. In other news Leroy Fludd is a good player with a great motor, reminds me of a very poor mans jae crowder. By no means though do I believe he is a big east talent though. Not enough size to bang, and not enough ball skills to play on the perimeter. Feel bad for the kid because he's gonna have a rough time getting a high level ship being the tweener he is.
Lavin was in attendance.
-
I'm watching Galan and like what I see. Scorer mentality and smooth game.
-
watched Galan play in Port Chester last nite, boy can he shoot! he is maybe 6' but had no prob getting his shot off. every time the team they played made a run he hit back to back 3's from deep. Even when he missed it stayed on the rim awhile. He was more impressive than Hall was in the game after. Galan shot is much quicker and way more pure.

I gonna guess Bridgton here.
South Kent has a chance though.

Oh no Brewster....we are sunk ! LOL
BTW spoke to the guy who changes the lights in the Gompers gym, he says we have fallen way behind because we texted him back in English rather than Spanish. He also wasn't impressed that we signed Orlando Sanchez only as a favor to Marco Bourgault. :P
-
Thought I'd share comments from Hoop Group Elite today.
“@DanielJMartin_: Carlos Galan: Good handle, can shoot, attack, natural scorer. Undersized at 5-11, though, so we'll see how that translates to college level”
“@DanielJMartin_: Feels like Galan has so much untapped potential. RT @platio2011 if you had to choose between J.thomas or Galan who would you pick?”
-
Dave's take;
“@DaveKrupinski: Carlos Galan does not pass the eye test physically but he has such a great feel for the game. He can flat out score. #BeElite”
-
Tom Pecora should be all over this kid.

Bridgton I'm thinking.
If there was a spot for him, Moose, do you think we are still keeping him in mind?

Ehhhh personally I envision a class of 2 guys in '13. One big man (4/5) and the other spot is a wildcard. All depends.
-
After seeing Galan this past week I think he has a lot of potential but would be better suited for a smaller conference. Reminds me a lot of Hardy but doesn't have that killer streak in him. Wasn't in good shape either. Does have an incredible touch around the basket though.

It's my understanding that most events are 17U

It goes by class year. So 17U would be rising seniors. Some tournaments also have Open divisions which are post grad guys

Carlos is a good kid and language issues as well as coming to NYC from the DR has likely led to these academic troubles.
Can't believe that he was the initiator of that fight
He may have been the scapegoat though
He was homesick as well
I am not sure why he isn't looking at Monroe which obviously was a good destination for fellow DR player Orlando
JC is not a bad thin for these kids, play ball, get their study habits in order, mature as a person
More kids should embrace it, you could always sit out your first year and go to school, play your second, and have 3 years at a d! school.
-
any update on this kid and how he did this year...?

He was kicked out of JUCO or whatever. Landed back in the area. I know he played in the Port Chester CYP tournament a few weeks back. Was hitting deep shots but rest of his game was ehhhh
-
He was very out of shape when I saw him in the summer. I think he's Ricky Torres 2.0

Hopefully it works out for him
