Recruiting Report: 2020 Andre Screen

<p>One of the top breakout players from the DMV region over the past couple of weeks has been 2020 <strong>Andre Screen</strong> of <strong>St. Stephen's &amp; St. Agnes</strong>. Screen is a 6'10 post man that has been excelling on both sides of the ball this summer. He is always completely wired on offense and defense and that is a reason why he has seen his recruitment take off in the recent weeks. During Capitol Hoops Summer League he is averaging 12.4 points per game, 7.8 rebounds per game and 2 blocks per game. </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have had a good summer, things started with <strong>DC Premier</strong> and we kind of had a rough start but we are starting to jell together and I am excited for the Atlanta live period together and we are going in on a two game win streak so we are coming together as a team. Summer league with my high school team has been great. I have a bigger role this year since we do not have <strong>Charles Thompson</strong> anymore. I learned a lot from him and really helped me get my game better so I am hoping to do a good job filling his shoes and just guide my team to a lot of wins.”</span></p> <p>He talked about what he is trying to bring to his team each time he steps onto the court, "<span style="font-weight: 400;">I am just trying to score, always looking for my teammates to score and just play good team ball. I do not believe in always scoring the basketball, like when I am double teamed, I am going to try and make the pass.”</span></p> <p>As he mentioned before, SSSA lost big man Charles Thompson because of graduation and Screen is now the guy that will be down low for the Saints.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I definitely bring the scoring presence in the low post and also mid range game. I also feel like I bring a good defense presence. Having lost a great defender and overall a good energy guy in Charles Thompson, I really have to step up my defense interactions. </span></p> <p>Screen has visited three schools unofficially recently with more to come. He has visited <strong>Virginia Tech</strong>, <strong>Mount. St. Mary's</strong> and <strong>Towson</strong> but is hoping to also visit some schools that he is hearing from like <span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Rhode Island</strong>, <strong>St. Bonaventure</strong>,<strong> George Mason</strong>, <strong>Cornell</strong> and <strong>Princeton</strong>. </span></p> <p>He broke down three of the schools he has visited.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Virginia Tech</strong>: “It was a good visit. They did some scrimmaging and it is high level basketball.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Mount St. Mary’s</strong>: “That was another great visit. They treated me well, they showed me around and it made it seem like they really want me and I really respect those guys and that program, they do not have the biggest facilities and everything but they work hard with what they got, so I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the coaching staff at Mount St. Mary’s.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Towson</strong>: “Another great campus that is spread out. They have some good recruits that are coming in and they are just great guys. The program has a great future ahead of them and I would be honored to maybe play for them one day.”</span></p> <p>When asked about visiting other schools, he said, <span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want to visit all the schools that I can because I am really about atmosphere, I want to go to a place with a good atmosphere.”</span></p>
