He's #10 on rivals and almost guaranteed to be a top 10 player in the class. From Mali like Sanogo and Singare and has lived in CT for years. 6'10 can handle and shoot it from three. Here he is at the UConn Nova game with Big O...

CTs been on a real hot streak the last few years in terms of having some top high school talent
 
I really want both Betsey and Mulready. Betsey being a big shooter and Mulready reminds me of Dre in some ways. High level athlete, competitor, defender, character, etc. Not the gifted passer and smaller (and not the same level of freak athlete) but he is in the same vein as an elite glue guy. And City Rocks.

Maybe I’m wrong? I literally looked up Badara Diakite brother online and Mamadi came right up in the search box

Lol, no offense intended, but that is some lazy research.

Looks like he knows how to play the game.
Not highly rated just because he's tall and can run and jump.
Nice to see Andre Dixon in the house. Myrtle Beach Bowl and now the Villanova game! Looks like he could still help our running game too.

I believe Doug Wiggins was right in there as well…maybe hiding behind Diakite

Might deserve its own thread. Seems like it is moving quickly. Who else are we on at the same position for 2024?
 

Mulready on what he’s looking for in a school​

“I want to play in a program that cares for the little stuff,” Mulready said in a previous interview with On3. “Diving on the ground, talking, leadership, rebounding. I’m not going to a school for a big name, but I’ll go to a school where I fit in and can play to the best of my abilities. I can play the one through the four, and I like doing that. So that is what I mean by fitting in, being able to do what it takes to help my team win.


Have you met our friend Andre Jackson ?
 
Fwiw you can see Mulready's highlights on Hoophustle... KAYVAUN MULREADY

I see a great athlete, strong, decent size at 6'4 and long arms. high energy player. Pretty ambidextrous finishing at the rim--might be the most ambidextrous of the recruits I've seen us after in the last couple years, actually. Super strong straight line driver and takes a hit well. Not a super creative finisher. Isn't much of a lead ballhandler at this stage I would guess. Not much to see with his left hand driving it. Tends to use a jab to fake and use his right hand. Gets cut off driving left a lot. Seems to hit ahead and swing the ball well, not sure about any PnR work. Makes a bunch of 3s in his highlights which is good to see. Nothing crazy off the dribble and it's a bit stiff, but clearly a shooter. Bunch of post feeds and dump of passes in his highlights too. Passing is better than the other SGs we've recruited recently it seems. No idea about the defensive fundamentals but he definitely brings the energy. Reminds me of Solo Ball or Floyd... but is better than both at the same stage.

EYBL stats in 2022 playing up in 17u:

11.8 PPG
6.2 RPG
3.3 APG

1.8 TO
1.2 STL
0.2 BLK

43% FG%
31% 3FG% (46% of shots from deep)
74% FT% (just under 3 per game)

Those are EXCELLENT numbers for a kid playing up. Well above his ranking IMO. Top 50 playerr imo. If he was 2 inches taller he'd be a 5*.
