The Nassau county public schools always have players who get noticed a little late and then burst on to the recruiting scene. Here are some players ready for that opportunity. Tristan St. John 6”0. 2021 Uniondale HS A tough hard nosed player. Plays bigger then his size. Good on the ball defender. Great work ethic. Slasher type player. A great teammate. Working on being more consistent with his jumper. Antonio Matthew 5”10. 2022. Island Trees HS Very strong on the ball defender. He is able to break down his man off the dribble. Reads the defense well to get separation from his man with the ball. Can score at the rim in a variety of creative ways. Nice pull up jumper. As he has added strength his long range jumper has become more consistent. Ryan Connely 5”8. 2024. Floral Park HS Young lefty guard has a nice future. Good court vision and awareness. Sees the floor well on the break or setting up in the half court. Excellent shooter. Zaronn Duncan 5”9. 2021 Uniondale HS A combo guard. Can play the 1-2. Lightning quick. Can shoot the three or drive it. In the lane or out on the break he can finish through contact. Has a great handle. Real good defender. Jason Kosak. 6”1. 2022. Floral Park HS All conference player. As a sophomore he hit 37 threes. Can also take it to the basket. Has worked on gaining more strength. Antonio Arana. 6”2. 2021. Island Trees HS In recent weeks Purchase College, Buffalo State and Castleton in Vermont have contacted Antonio. Oneonta came in for a workout as well. They saw a player who shoots the ball really well coming off of screens. A catch and shoot player. Has a good handle and can get off his own shot. Would be a nice get for one these D 3 schools.
