Expert Analysis
Frank Mantesta | Prep Hoops Scout
The second team all star player will keep his talents on the east coast and play for Quinnipiac next season. Confident oiled ball handler . A lead guard who can orchestrate the offense or get buckets himself. Excellent court vision. One of my favorites to cover throughout his HS career.

Quinnipiac got a really good one, Here is a player like so many who gets hurt by the transfer portal. In normal times schools would have been knocking down his door. But Quinnipiac is very happy with this get. The ball seems attached to him. Great court vision and awareness. Poised and skilled with a high basketball IQ. Can knock down threes off his own dribble. Gets into the lane and deliver dimes or score. Will have a major impact in the MAAC.

Another PG who can impact the game from the PG position. In many ways Tai changes the game in an instance. Can speed you up or run the offense off of half court sets. Outstanding shooter. Puts a lot of pressure on the defense by the way he can handle the ball. Uses his hand and foot quickness to defend. This pix that is on his profile is perfect for his game because when he plays the ball looks like it’s on a string from his hand to wherever it needs to go.
