He gave Seton Hall a verbal at xmas. He's a nice get but it's old news

John, in long term, who do you like better Brodie or Kante as a quality interior player?

Paultz those two are similar because they're big bodied guys who pursue the ball but play below the rim. IMO that's not a bad thing, shot blockers are good but you need guys who play position defense and get rebounds also. To me Kante has the advantage because of motor and shooting touch, but I think both players, Brodie especially will benefit from college weight rooms and trainers. 270 (and it may be more than that) is way too heavy for Brodie. Kante is more ready to play now because of motor and conditioning and a better fit for St. John's because he can play forward and compliment the mobile running centers that St. John's has (Owens) and is trying to recruit (Brown, Reid and Igiehon) And yeah I know I make too much of free throw shooting for bigs but Isaac shoots those better

Thanks John! Your perspective and analysis is such a great component of the site. You're the best man!

Matt should have made more stops at Montverde while delivering Maybellin to Zach Brown. Would have been a good replacement for Freudenberg.

Seton Hall Grabs A Big Man

http://www.zagsblog.com/2017/04/14/darnell-brodie-signs-nli-seton-hall/

See it's not that hard. And that is a BIG body that will smack us around for several years.

You know what I didn't see in the article? His season averages. Didn't see them for any of his seasons, in fact. In order for him to smack us around, he first needs to get off the bench.

FUNNY SH can grap a big player and we who are suppose to have a top recruiter can not!!

But our top recruiter is on paid sabbatical.

Surprised to hear that. Is he projected to be a first round pick?

Maybe our recruiting is sub par and needs new blood already If SH can get a big and we can something is really wrong

Per Zagoria, a good get for the Hall
2017 @MVABasketball F @Mamukelashvili5 has committed to Seton Hall. Story coming.

Excerpt from Zags blog on the 6'10" 220 pound PF.

“His upside is tremendous,” Montverde Academy prep coach Kevin Boyle Jr. said. “At his size he has a rare ability to shoot from the perimeter, handle the ball in transition, locate teammates, and finish drives at full speed in traffic.

Coming to the U.S. this year he hit a brief learning curve with so many athletes and so much size around him, but he is now emerging as a guy that can not only impact the game with perimeter skills, but also compete on the glass and guard inside. The good thing for him is he still isn’t even close to as good as he is capable of being.”

As for what skillset he will bring to college, the native of Tbilisi, Georgia said: “I think I’ll bring a lot in college, like my passing abilities, pushing in transition, getting my teammates open and a winning attitude.”
