Barry has steadily improved over the last ten months and will have a real claim to top 2027 in the City when this season is all said and done. The 6-foot-9 forward plays with a chip on his shoulder, grabbing rebounds and finishing or blocking shots and being a physical presence. College programs will take an increased interest in him after seeing his ability to space the floor as well.

Barry is arguably the top big in the CHSAA and New York City. His blend of inside scoring, passing, basketball IQ and three point shot making are very impressive. He’s more aggressive, ready for more opportunities and has been working on his body. The Division 1 scouts should be lining up all winter to land the talented unsigned forward. 

Hayes have their sites set on their first CHSAA title since 2022, and will count on senior big man to anchor the frontcourt to do so. A skilled forward who can face up and either knock down a shot from deep or pick out cutters as a passer, Barry’s continued growth over the last year is truly impressive. He was more assertive in the second half of their opening round win against Lincoln, and effectively put the Railsplitters away when it came down to it.

Yes he’s big but he can play inside and out. He displayed the ability to knock down open threes off the catch. Uses his size to get to the rim off of 2 dribbles. Also displayed a pull up jumper off the bounce. Rebounds and defends the paint. Can guard out on the perimeter as well.

Amadou battled game after game against high major D1 post players as well as a full compliment of D1 talent throughout the league. He averaged 15 ppg and was a physical menacing force in the paint.He can stretch the floor and hit the open three. As the season went on he developed the ability to get to the rim off the bounce using his body really well to protect the ball and finish with toughness at the rim. Will be a high All state selection next year and a force to be reckoned with in the CHSAA. On D1 radars right now.

Another no brainer. Just think about who he battles against in each game . High D1 opponents. He is a big physical presence on both ends of the fooor. A rim protector and a menacing figure in the paint. Is relentless on both glass. He can score inside with brute force. He has the shooting ability to stretch the floor.

The big man in the middle is getting a lot of attention. Deservingly so. He showed that he can hit the open three off the catch. Giving him the added dimension to his game. Scores around the rim with force and skill. Can get to the rim off of 2-3 dribbles using his size. Outstanding rebounder on both ends of the floor.

Continuing a breakout junior season, Barry put on an impressive display of inside-out skill while stuffing the stat sheet to help steer Hayes to the win. Taking advantage of an undersized opposing frontcourt, he used his size and heft to set up shop inside and impose his will, finishing with a blend of touch and power around the rim off both dumpoffs and postup looks. He flashed his shooting stroke from the perimeter and really stood out with his passing acumen and ball skills at his size. Barry showed a commitment to the dirty work as well, hauling in nine boards and using his quick hands to make plays defensively. He’ll need to improve on his ball security and continue to be extremely conscious of his conditioning, but Barry is clearly trending up as a D1 frontcourt target with upside if he can further reshape his body over time.

He delivered a strong pass from the right wing for a layup, followed by another clean feed out of the post. He made a sharp lead pass for another layup, then knocked down a catch and shoot three from the top of the key to close the half. He later added another spot‑up three from the top of the key. Throughout the game, he consistently showcased his offensive versatility and his ability to create scoring opportunities with his passing.

Barry is a skilled big who consistently makes his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He finishes strong at the rim, using good hands and touch to convert in traffic. On the glass, he rebounds his area well and gives his team extra possessions with his effort. Defensively, Barry protects the paint, blocks shots, and alters attempts with his size and timing. He plays with a strong motor and competes every possession, which impacts winning. Barry also does a great job finding teammates, making smart reads and keeping the offense flowing. Overall, he’s a reliable interior presence with a well-rounded game that continues to stand out.
