Hope everyone is well and has been safe during these crazy times! I've been super hectic with work the past few weeks so been MIA but a couple small upates
- New 2021 Targets: 6'6 St. Louis Christian Academy (MO) SF Jordan Nesbitt, 2021 Putnam Science Academy (CT) SF Sean Durugordon
- Skinn is recruiting Nesbitt. He isn't a take yet but seems to be a very talented plan B to Jakai Robinson. I am hearing Durugordon isn't a take yet as well
- Hearing things continue to trend well with Jakai Robinson, who was originally planning on committing to a program this summer. I have to see if that has changed yet due to COVID, but it might have
- Had a college coach who recently started recruiting Rafael Castro tell me that he thinks Castro is one of the best power forwards in the country and that he has "5 star athleticism and upside" with "a high 3-star skillset" at this time. Thinks with proper coaching he is a future pro and thinks his highest upside is as a hybrid 3/4 that hopefully develops into someone who can handle the ball a bit and stretch the defense while guarding multiple positions
- Jordan Hawkins will be a tougher get with Louisville making him a top priority and some other blue bloods getting involved. If history is any indicator, SHU will be involved until the end but they may not be able to reel in the dynamic 2-guard
- My younger brother is very close with Akil Watson and his family. Prior to COVID, it was unlikely he would care about staying close to home to play college basketball. However, this whole outbreak made him think about the option stronger. His younger brother who is going to be a HS Freshman next year is actually better than Akil which is scary. Right now, the family does like the concept of staying close to home. There is a loooong way to go in his recruitment but the family is excited about the SHU offer. In terms of local programs, they view SHU as a better fit at this time than RU. Akil likes the idea of playing at a smaller school where basketball is king, although he is going to be courted by every program in the country when it is all said and done. Akil's younger brother will likely skip college if all goes as plan and he progresses through high school the way he is projected to, but Akil himself is very likely going to attend college
