Big Apple Statewide

<p> Every Friday in the new year we will bring you players from across the state of New York. We will focus on the city’s public schools (PSAL), private schools, Long Islands Catholic schools, upstate schools. We will also give you an analysis of New York players at prep schools.<span id="more-1106332"></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="945517" first="Shemani" last="Fuller"].      6”9.      Cardinal Hayes HS.   </strong></p> <p>The big man from <strong>Cardinal Hayes </strong>high school will be playing at <strong>Woodstock Academy.</strong> He has committed to <strong>Fordham </strong>university. A force in the post. Also displays a great skill set with his size. Should be a major contributor for  year’s to come for the Rams.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1045796" first="Jayden" last="Reid"].        5”9.       2023.      Long Island Lutheran HS</strong></p> <p>Many times at practice he was up against Andre Curbello (co NY state player of the year) who is now at Illinois. So it is safe to say he has played against top competition. He stepped in as a freshman at Lutheran and automatically earned the respect of his teammates. A high level elite player. A tremendous three point shooter. Excellent decision maker and high IQ. He also understands the defensive side of the floor. He is a really good on the ball defender. <strong>Stony Brook </strong>has offered but once we get back to games the list will expand.</p> <p><strong>Kacper Klaczek.        6”8.      2021.    Long Island Lutheran HS</strong></p> <p>The group of offers expands each week for this elite level athlete. A point forward type player. He can step out and be a stretch 4 by shooting the three. But also works well inside. Mixes it up on the boards. Excellent passer out of the post.  Has been improving with his ball handling which would add another element to an already good skill set. New interest from Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Georgia and TCU.  Has been offered by Washington State, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Western Kentucky and Holy Cross.</p> <p><strong>Julian Souamauro     5”11.       2020 (2021)      Cardinal Hayes HS</strong></p> <p>Along with his high school teammate aforementioned  [player_tooltip player_id="945517" first="Shemani" last="Fuller"]. Julian is also at <strong>Woodstock Academy. </strong>A coach on the floor. Constantly communicating with his teammates. Gets the offense into it’s sets quickly. Has good length for a 5”11 player. Explosive off the bounce. Great lift on his jump shot. Creative passer throws a nice bounce pass with one hand off the dribble. Dynamic in the open floor. Excellent defender. Added plus is his chase down speed to turn defense into offense. <strong>New Hampshire</strong> has offered and would be a nice get for the D1 program. More should get involved.</p> <p><strong>Adam Dudzinski.     6”7.         2021.          West Genesee HS</strong></p> <p>Giving some love to the underrated area of upstate New York we find this highly skilled long big man. He can step out and shoot beyond the line. With his length he is capable of guarding multiple positions and is also good on switches. He has played mostly on the perimeter in high school because of his high IQ and court awareness. But can mix it up inside and finish. Old school, moves well  without the ball player.  Has improved his body strength through hard work. Offers from <strong>Manhattan</strong> and <strong>Sienna</strong> plus real interest from<strong> Elon, Colgate</strong> and <strong>Niagra. </strong></p> <p><strong>Andre Snoddy        6”6.    2020. (2021)  St Anthonys HS (LI)</strong></p> <p>Now at <strong>St. Thomas Moore prep.</strong> Has secured an offer from <strong>Central Connecticut State University. </strong>In my opinion he was hurt by a shortened senior season. Will make a immediate impact for a college program. Very unselfish player. Needs to be more aggressive on the offensive end. He has a tremendous skill set and is a versatile player. Can play multiple positions. Was an all state first team selection. I am extremely high on this multi dimensional player</p>
