Sounds like a great "get". Zagsblog has him at JFK in the Bronx. Has he transferred? Also, Zags article doesn't list Daniels, just Young.

Good job by TC and staff. He was one of the standouts at the Iona elite camp and one recruiting service said he was a little better jump shot away from being a high major recruit and the most versatile defender in the northeast and he guarded the 1-4 positions. Go Gaels !!!

HUGE get. Many people think he was the best all around player in NYC last year. This kid is a stud. If he can get it done in the classroom we will be in great shape. One of my two top "wants" for this years recruiting cycle. Throw in Tafari Whittingham or Mike Nzei or both and I will g0 nuts.

He has a few featured slams in this video from the dunk contest at the Big Strick Classic. He also finished second in the 3 point shooting contest. Now give me a commit from Tafari Whittingham and or Mike Nzei I will be thrilled.

Iona has offered 6'9 PF Aleer Leek of IMG and Team Loaded. Also has offers from FIU, Detroit, and Liberty. It is reported that he has good footwork and post moves, is a very good athlete for his size, rebounds and blocks shots. He can spread the defense with his shooting and has range out to about 17. Aggressive but needs some muscle. Very good motor. His brother Deng plays for Western Kentucky.

I86, correct me if I am wrong. Iona has 4 spots for 2014. (Bowman, Armand, Gomez and Poole). As of now commits from Young, Ahmed and Daniel. Will be interesting to see the situation with Daniel. According to his twitter he made some comments about having to do a major turnaround in the classroom. Hopefully grades do not turn into an issue with him

Hopefully grades do not turn into an issue with him That is correct... four scholarships available if everyone stays. Young, Ahmed and Daniel are the current commits if they stick, I think the staff is also worried about Daniel and that is why we have seen some recent PG offers.

Now we start to see the benefit of what Coach Cluess has created at Iona. Just like in Field of Dreams, build it and they will come.

All coaches were at Goal Club Golf event today!
