Zach Brown's first game

I was impressed with Oham. He can really stroke the three. Diallo really plays under control and finds his points within the flow of the game. He doesn't force anything. DHam could learn a thing or two from him. I noticed that Diallo and Diarra sat next to each other and seemed to joke with each other during pre-game, on the bench and during stops in the action. Hopefully, those friends will stay together in college....That would be some sick chemistry with Diarra, Diallo and Brown. Diarra and Brown have better hands than our current big guys. Diarra reminds me of Curtis Kelly but I hope he has a better UCONN career.

Another take away. This kid #1, Sergio El Darwich for Lee Academy was the most impressive player on the court for either team. Shot it well from long range, played tough D, took it to the hoops, and had four dunks. he's about 6' 4" and could get up. Reminded me a lot of Chris Herren.

He was # 25 in this video from last season but changed to # 1 this season:

Kid's from Beirut, Lebanon and this is his postgrad year. Nobody but NERR has him listed anywhere - they have him #5 in Maine, and #75 in New England: http://www.newenglandrecruitingreport.com/rankings/maine-class-of-2016

Given the numbers he's putting up in this league and the athleticism he shows, I'd be shocked if he didn't end up with a mid-major offer. Would love to see Moore get him at Quinnipiac, but my guess is he ends up at a bigger school.

So what about the articles on line from May 2015 that the school would close for two years for renovations and the negative reviews talking about mold and overcrowded living conditions and unsanitary cafeteria? I noticed that Diallo, Diarra and Brown all wore UA sneakers but other players wore different brands. I thought that was interesting. If UA is involved, I hope there won't be any funny business.

PSA did close completely last spring and the bball program transferred to Woodstock Academy along with coach Espinosa. Then the Chinese investors came along, reopened PSA, and brought/bought back Espinosa. Under Armour sponsorship followed. Despite appearances, they're doing plenty well financially.

What do the Chinese investors get out of this deal? School placement for a number of Chinese students or something?

Someone may want to unlike your post. Both mau and I were talking about Sergio El Darvich from Lee, the 6' 4" guard, not Brown. Did you think we were talking about Brown??

Yep, I did. Oh well, not the first time I've ducked up on here. I was shocked at his post and thought I was being restrained in my reply.

Probably gets them some legal loophole they are using for something else.

PSA is a great school...those kids win competitions everywhere they go....and as a previous poster said, Putnam has an amazing downtown. Lots of events going on, several really good restaurants with outdoor seating, an awesome old playhouse, free parking and most events are free too.
 
Gotta get to a game to see these three. But apparently the drive sucks

I highly recommend Husky fans get out there. Where else can you see potentially three Huskies play at once? It's like watching the Huskies for free plus see other future college players. Lee has a 6' 9" Arizona State commit who's good from long range but didn't do much against PSA. My drive was an hour and forty-five minutes. Worth the trip at least once.

I couldn't find the game stats on-line so I asked El Darwich from Lee Academy himself. Here are his numbers for the two games against PSA. Game 1: 24 pts. 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks (including one on Brown). Game 2: 18 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists. Against the great players on PSA, that's impressive and consistent. For a 6' 4" player who plays in the flow of the offense, he's a real sleeper who could really help a team. He reminds me a lot of Doron Sheffer but much more explosive and able to play above the rim.

It's like 30 minutes off 84

7' 260 and yet to fill out. Can shoot and pass. That's not a mid major player.

Might not be an impact player coming in, but that's a better player than a lot of posts we've had in the past 6-7 years.

What are you talking about, that kid isn't 7' tall? Sergio El Darvich is the player I was discussing.
 
El Darwich just committed to South Dakota State. T.J. Otzelberger's first recruit there.
