Not sure if this has been said here but the announcers on MSG Varsity said that although hes academically a Soph he only has 1 year of HS eligibility left after this season. Not sure what the story is there

In Florida, before transferring to CTK,  he was an eighth grader put on varsity I believe. Thus, he already has three years of varsity play.

So what can/will he do after next season when he has no HS eligibility left but will still have to put in a year academically before going to college?

I've heard rumblings he's 18.  Can anyone confirm or deny?

Looks older for sure than 16 noted by announcers

Lenny Cooke was an example of someone who ran out of HS eligibility because of age.

I have an idea. How about one year of prep school at Rise.

Definitely remember stories from last year saying he was 17.

CHRIST THE KING IS NOT IN BROOKLYN.

Sorry. I really like him though.

@Iam_RawleAlkins: Just got off the phone with Oliver and Orlando Antingua, Dallas blessed me with a offer from USF #Blessed

Indiana is the latest school to offer Rawle Alkins, arguably the best rising junior in the New York metropolitan area.

An extremely strong, bouncy and athletic guard, Alkins also holds offers from South Florida, George Washington, Minnesota, Villanova, Cincinnati, Seton Hall, Rutgers and Fordham.

He will transfer, prep at some BS basketball factory and then when he finishes the basketball factory will get credit for producing another Div I recruit and people will say NYC is no longer producing top tier talent...

Admittedly only saw CTK play in the championship game (on TV) but thought he was their best player...don't understand why we haven't offered

don't understand why we haven't offered

I agree.

Considering that Chiles has been monitoring CTK games for the past 2-3 years, I'm sure some interest has been established. 2015 has to be the priority, recruiting tactics?

Nova is in good shape with Alkins, but we'll see.

Received Louisville offer today.

Seems like an ideal Nova type of player.
