The last two high-major bigs from Middletown, NY were Justin Burrell and Cleanthony Early. This kid has been a monster since elementary school. We thought he'd be 6'10+ He started on varsity for Middeletown as a 8th grader on a very talented team that lost in the AA state championship game this year (without him on the team) to Aquinas--who lost a close game in the tournament of champions to Shamorie's Thomas Jefferson squad. Middletown almost certainly wins it all if he was in the team.

One guy I love to watch is 2017 forward Hassan French. Pound for pound he is as tough a guy as there is in the country. Rugged & athletic
-
Hasahn French is visiting SJU right now per Adam Zagoria.
I don't pretend to have inside information like Fordham96 - I give people credit for the information not like him.
-
Worth reminding...
He is from the same town as Justin Burell. Same position as well and works with a lot of the same people.

Hard to get a verbal (that can go public) while all the spots are technically taken.

Darien graduates after next season.
-
No doubt, they can figure out how to make room (as you noted if Darien is not allowed to stay for a grad year), but wouldn't French or anyone else have to wait to announce a committment or sign during the early signing period until the spot is officially open ?

No. Teams routinely go over 1-2 slots. Ships are renewable (or not) each year. SJU has a clear out with Darien, who can graduate and play anywhere he wants immediately.

Exactly, staff has no concerns about this issue at all.
-
Cool... thanks for clarifying.

Darien could move on to play at another program or Alibegovic could decide to play his senior year elsewhere. Malik Ellison is going to need to show marked improvement in order get minutes next season. If he doesn't, he might bolt, too.

I think it's more likely that mussini takes off than ellison

Maybe, but we do know that Mussini is staying on campus this summer to work on his game. Ellison? Crickets.
Mussini has less overall ability than Ellison, but he is an excellent free throw shooter, and we still haven't seen him play with a point guard. He simply isn't a player that can get his own shot, but we haven't seen him play where someone else could get him open looks.
One thing is clear: both of these players make shit point guards.
Neither player defense. Both are great examples of freshman who had no clue what kind of defense was expected of them at the D1 level.

The picture will become more clear in the coming months. What is almost certain when you have transfers from Zona and MSU sitting out is that there will be some departures. Either of these guys could make the cut. There is no guarantee Bash beats out Ellison next year with his year in the system.
In any event, there will be room for French and possibly more.

Was offered by Kansas St. today.

I'd be fine with a pipeline from PSA. One of the best coached AAU programs out there and loaded with talent.

Any sense on how we stand with french, Paultz?

FRENCH SAYS SEVERAL WORKING HARDEST
As for his recruitment, Hasahn French said several schools are working the hardest, including St. John's.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're definitely coming after me pretty hard," French said. "I like them. They're a pretty good school.. The coaching staff is pretty good and I like what they're doing right now."
St. John's doesn't technically have a scholarship for French in 2017, but would certainly make one available for him (or Bamba or Hamidou Diallo) if he chose to go there.
"They showed me the board and what they were doing and who's their top priority and I was one of those guys," he said.
Asked who else was on the board he said, "A couple guys from New York, I'll give you that."
French also listed Providence, Temple, Seton Hall, Marquette, Kansas State and Arizona State
"Those guys are pushing very hard," he said.

I watched the game Vs Mokan Elite didn't really stand out. Maybe he was tired.?.

They got whipped by 28 points. PSA is loaded and you can argue no one on their team did well including the kids offered by UK and Duke.
Not sure what your point is.

For the record he is at the Oladipo Camp in Maryland:

PSA Cardinals power forward Hasahn French might be overshadowed by higher-ranked teammates during EYBL play, but he shined on his own during the opening night of play, scoring 17 points and ripping down eight boards. French showed he can be a defensive presence inside blocking shots while also facing up beyond the arc and knocking down shots. Hurley, Wojciechowski, Miller and Derek Kellogg were all on hand to watch French.

Think I saw on another thread that odds of landing French dropped with the commitment of Brown. Is that still the sense?

Per Scout.com French visiting Marquette 9/9-9/11, Minny 9/23-9/25 and St. Louis 9/30-10/1.
Also says he wants to visit SHU.

No one has a crystal ball. Life is filled w tough decisions. Never any guarantees .. If Zach doesn't work out , there will be other players. Although I would like to have French. Its not like he is a 5 star recruit .I think Zach is worth the risk, huge upside.

FYI, committed to St. Louis today.
