Newsday just published an alphabetical list called the "Top 100 boys basketball players on Long Island for 2021-22 season." As I scrolled through, I saw our name associated with Lou Hutchinson, a 6-6 senior guard from LI Lutheran. Here's Newsday's description:
"The athletic guard with great size is generating interest from schools such as Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Towson and Hofstra, according to his coach. He’s going to take on a larger offensive role this season."
I wouldn't mind us recruiting some of Hutchinson's teammates:
James Johns, Long Island Lutheran, 6-6, G, Jr.
He is generating interest from schools such as UConn, Wake Forest and Fairfield, according to his coach. He’s an explosive player with the ability to finish at and above the rim.
Jaxon Koroll, Long Island Lutheran, 6-11, F, Sr.
Koroll is a transfer from Canada who has interest from Marist and Virginia Tech, according to his coach. He is expected to be a key presence down low.
Amdy Ndiaye, Long Island Lutheran, 6-10, F, Jr.
He is an imposing force in the middle of the lane for the Crusaders.
Jayden Reid, Long Island Lutheran, 5-11, G, Jr.
The Westbury native has interest from schools such as Virginia, Minnesota and Stony Brook, according to his coach. He shot 40% from beyond the arc and 85% from the foul line as a freshman.
Finley Sheridan, Long Island Lutheran, 6-9, F, Sr.
He averaged 17 points and eight assists as a versatile stretch-four for Calhoun as a sophomore before transferring to LuHi last year. He is generating interest from schools such as Columbia, Holy Cross and UMBC, according to his coach.
Finally, there's another player on the list with a great basketball name: Dave DeBusschere, a 5-11 guard for Chaminade. In case you're wondering, he's the grandson of the late Knicks' forward.
