“@TheRecruitScoop: St. John's has offered 2014 forward Abdul-Malik Abu of Kimball Union (NH), per his coach.”

Think Providence on him as well.

“@ECoastBias: St. John's offers 2014 forward Abdul-Malik Abu out of Boston #stjbb http://sbn.to/16LH7Ek”

Abu is a physical specimen with a powerful build and the high motor to maximize his physical tools. He's a bit of a throwback power forward type in that he's a banger who thrives by throwing his body around on the inside, crashing the glass, and doing the dirty work.

The description adds that he is lacking a bit of skill, offensively is only effective around the rim, and is generally raw. Seton Hall, Rutgers, Providence, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and many others have expressed interest.

As the roster stands, St. John's will lose Orlando Sanchez, Marc-Antoine Bourgault, God`sGift Achiuwa, and possibly JaKarr Sampson if he chooses to go pro after his second season in the red and white (and black or gray for special occasions). The 2014 team should have a number of solid seniors to build around, but few big men; Christian Jones is the only forward projected to be on the roster at that point.

He plays for the Expressions Elite AAU team (Nike).

Both look like a great fit.  Reminds me a little of Montrezl Harrell.  We've been involved with Terell for a while.  I'd take both in a heartbeat as both are physical specimens who fit our style and needs.  Get em Lavs

Competition obviously will be fierce for Abu & Terrell.

He's big time. Don't think St. John's will get involved. They don't do too much recruiting out of New England area.

St. John's also was reported to "offer" BeeJay Anya yet never recruited him which I confirmed by both parties. St. John's has strong recruiting ties in Philly, NY, Florida, Texas, LA, and CA. No one on the staff really has ties to DC or New England areas which they don't really waste their time chasing recruits in the end they won't have a shot for. I see Abdul Malik-Abu as one of those guys. I hope I'm wrong and they have a shot at him because he's a beast. He's built like a brick, is quick and agile.

I first saw him a few years ago at camp and put together the weakest highlight tape on him ever. He was really raw but knew he had serious potential and wanted to get the first footage of him out there. You can see how far he's come in just two years. I won't see his AAU team that much this summer since they left Reebok and went to Nike but I'll ask Ty, his coach, about his recruitment.
