SG Mustapha Heron (Auburn Commit)

[Jluc]

Met someone close to his recruitment very randomly this past summer. He is going to sign with Kentucky when it is all said and done from what I was told.

That has been the word for some time

Admittedly have not seen him play and have heard good things about him at the HS level. I hope he can shoot because at his size he's not scoring inside without a perimeter game so most of those highlights in the clip above go away at Kentucky or anywhere else at that level.

As for UConn "losing" talent like Gomes, Abro Jr and Dunn please do your homework. No one recruited Gomes except PC and no one recruited Abro except ND. I saw Abro in the state quarters his senior year and was amazed he was going to ND. These kids worked their tails off the prove others wrong and that happens, congrats to them but certainly no mark on Calhoun. As for Dunn, we had guards and better ones, and while he was recruited pretty hard by some decent schools it would seem to me UConn made a great choice there!

Sacred heart with an easy win over Christ a king. Herron totally outplayed alkins

 

[Montaleno]

Tyran Flowers should have been MVP.

 

[superjohn]

Looks like Sacred Heart beat the #2 team in NYC easily. This is a great Sacred Heart team, lots of talent in Waterbury.

 

[Husky1964]

Gomes schollie went to Caron.

Got to see him tonight.. Had 30 or 35 , I lost count and didn't play much in the 4 th. Reminded me a lot of Beverly. Sacred heart has some good talent and naugy doesn't so it wasn't much of a game but it was obvious he has good talent. Hit a bunch of 3's and got to the rim pretty good.

 

[Stainmaster]

I was told that he was offered A TON of money by one of Pitt's sponsors to commit last year by a kid that played against/with him. Of course, I don't know if there is any truth to that, but I also don't know why a 16 year old kid would lie about that.. Think of it what you will

What a coincidence -- I heard that the same thing happened to every recruit who's ever turned UCONN down!

Not Donnell Beverly right?

D'Angelo. Beverly D'Angelo. Nice bounce.

He had 46. Not sure where or how he reminds you of Beverly.

Beverly eclipsed that twice - as a junior and senior.

Again, but sure of your point or the comparison

It was a joke that whiffed a bit. He had more than 46 points over his entire junior and senior seasons at UConn (50 something as a junior, 60 something as a senior). I just didn't word it well.

Mustapha Heron is opening up his recruitment but will still list Pitt among his schools, source tells @SNYtv

This would be very fun.

 

[tcf15]

St. John's probably.

 

[lange10]

I thought the rumor all along was that he was going to decommit for Kentucky. Am I making that up?

 

[UCbcm]

St. John's probably.

you would be correct

EDIT: forgot to paste this:

Hearing St. John's is among the schools making a run at former Pitt commit @Mheron_1

That was because the coach who recruited him to Pitt went to UK, and now that coach works at St. John's.

 

[CTBasketball]

We never really stood a chance here...

Makes sense. Mullin and co. gathering quite the roster in no time.

 

[bear]

The word for a while has been that he'll end up wherever Slice Rohrssen is.

 

[UConniki]

And UCONN is........... uhm doing what exactly ?

This article was written on 4/4/15

“I definitely will be back at Sacred Heart and we will definitely three-peat,” Heron said. “As far as college goes, I don’t know what the future holds over the next couple of months. I will have to take it one step at a time.”

"According to various Internet reports, Bryan (Mustapha's father) and current Kentucky assistant Barry Rohrssen are close friends."

Slice was still at UK when this article was written so it seems like where ever Slice was going to be is where this kid was going to end up too

Hosting two pretty damn good players as we speak.

 

[bleeny72]

He's going with Slice to St. Johns...bank on it.

Lets all hope so. In the dark past of Perno, we were atleast in the BE. Where are we now?

Probably, but KO needs to be making every effort to get him.
