Recruiting Report: Christian DePollar (2019)

<p>With the 2019 class getting set to make its mark on the high school basketball scene, <strong>Christian DePollar</strong> promises to be one of the best young talents in the DMV area for years come.</p><p>The DC Premiere product just wrapped up his 14U grassroots season, and is already being pursued by two Division I programs.</p> <p>“I know that I have interest from Penn State and Towson,” said DePollar. “They came to a lot of my games and they would watch me the whole weekend, and then talk to my coach about me.”</p> <p>His DC Premier 14U squad often played up against 15U competition, and the 6-foot-5 shooting guard says though their record wasn&#39;t good, the experience he and his teammates gained was invaluable.</p> <p>“It was kind of shaky for us playing up, we finished with a record of something like 2-11 when we played up, so it wasn’t that good,” he said. “But personally it was a really good experience, I never played against that level of competition before.”</p> <p>“Overall I think it was a really good offseason, and now I’m just looking forward to the high school season now that AAU is over.”</p> <p>Though he’s a resident of Maryland, DePollar decided last spring that he would attend St. Stephens & St. Agnes in Alexandria, VA.</p> <p>“I thought it was the best fit, I really like the coach, he makes me feel comfortable when I’m on the floor, and he’s a real good coach,” said DePollar. “I made the decision to go there towards the end of my eighth grade year.”</p> <p>The talented 2019 will play up with the varsity next season, and provide them with a good-sized, sharpshooting wing.</p> <p>“I’m an all-around player, I play defense, I can shoot. When I’m on the court I’m on the perimeter a lot, so when I’m open I’ll pull the trigger and shoot. I attack the rim a lot too, but mostly shoot,” said DePollar.</p> <p>“I’ll be playing varsity next year, I don’t know if I’ll be starting or not, but I should get some pretty good minutes. My role will be to play the two or three guard, grab some rebounds and provide some shooting.”</p>
