Recruiting
Malachi Richardson, a 6’5 shooting guard out of Trenton Catholic (NJ), has already made a name for himself despite being in the class of 2015. A key part of Team Final Blue’s championship run, Richardson listed scholarship offers from Rutgers, Seton Hall, James Madison, and Miami. Additionally, he said he is garnering interest from Syracuse, Connecticut, Villanova, Georgetown, Northwestern, and DePaul. His three favorites at this point are Seton Hall, Miami and Syracuse. Richardson has been on unofficial visits to in-state schools Rutgers and Seton Hall. He has no other trips planned and said of his commitment timetable, “Probably my senior year.”
Hakim Saintil, a 5’11 point guard who was listed as a Day One top performer, has a wide range of college looks. The 2013 prospect from Roselle Catholic (NJ) and the NJ Roadrunners claims scholarship offers from Cincinnati, South Carolina and East Carolina. He said he is also hearing from UConn, Syracuse, Iona, Dayton, Wagner, and Rhode Island. Saintil remains “wide open” in his recruitment and is planning to make his choice “probably by September.” As for what he is looking for in a school, Saintil replied, “See if I could play immediately, good academics and just a family oriented place.”

Dion Waiters was a fine player for Syracuse at the combo guard position. He has NBA range on his jumpshot and is a scorer, which is definitely something the Timberwolves need on the perimeter. He is an above-average defender, who takes chances at times to shoot into passing lanes or come from seemingly nowhere to get steals. A team can never have enough of that, especially a young team like Minnesota. However, at 6’4, his height is an issue because he’s undersized compared to most NBA shooting guards. Waiters will have a fine NBA career as a role player, but he seems to be another Randy Foye, a player whom the Timberwolves have a history. Also, Minnesota does not have a good track record of drafting Syracuse players. See Jonny Flynn and Wes Johnson
Parisi teamed with Snyder, Damone Brown, Jason Rowe, Shawn Murphy, Ka'Ron Barnes and Ace Narvaez to play in Ballin' for a Cause. They'll be joined today by Comerford, who was in Long Island on Saturday with the Timon lacrosse team. That's a who's who of Western New York hoops -- Rowe, Brown, and Barnes were part of the Darling Paint squad that won the other top men's bracket in last year's Macker.
