SG# 12
National Rating: 4-Stars

Aaron Falzon 6'6" (SF) St. Mark's (MA)

Class of 2014
Friars have yet to Offer.


Schools in the Recruiting Mix
: Providence and Boston College.

SF# N/R
National Rating: N/R
ESPN Grade: N/R

Evaluation Summary:
Aaron is a sweet shooting forward who can also rebound and pass the ball well in the open court. He has a good compliment of offensive moves for such a young age and uses them well to set up his mid-range jumper or one from behind the arc.

Tariq Carey 6'2" (PG) St. Benedict's (NJ)

Class of 2012
Friars have yet to offer.

Schools in the Recruiting Mix: Providence, Richmond, Virginia, Southern Methodist, Marshall, Notre Dame, UNC-Charlotte and Rhode Island.

PG: # 45
National Rating: 2 1/2-Stars
ESPN Grade: 85
Last Updated: 07/11/11

Evaluational Summary:
Fearless, slashing, athletic guard who attacks the rim and is willing to absorb contact in the process. Has a decent mid-range jumper. Tariq is also a fine defender who gets into passing lanes for steals and/or deflections, creating fast-break opportunities. He is a hard worker neglecting neither end of the court. The weak spot in his game lays beyond the arc.




Reggie Cameron (SF) 6'6" Hudson Catholic HS (NJ)

Class of 2013
Friars have offered.

Schools in the Recruiting Mix: Cincinnati, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Providence, West Virginia, Florida, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Marquette, Xavier, Northwestern and Tennessee.

SF# 41
Natl' Rating: 2 1/2-Stars
ESPN Grade: 87
Updated: 07/10/11

Evaluation Summary: One of the best pure shooters that have been yet identified in the class of 2013. He is not afraid to take a big-time shot under pressure. However, Cameron presently is a tweaner: too slow to defend at the "3" and too short to be effective at the "4". Time may correct one or both of those issues.

Kavon Stewart 5'10" (PG) Hudson Catholic (NJ)

Class of 2013
Friars have Offered.

Schools in the Recruiting Mix: Xavier, Providence, Towson, Cincinnati, Seton Hall, UMass, St. Joesph's, Rutgers, Temple, and Virginia.

PG# 30
National Rating: 3-Stars
ESPN Grade: 89
Upadated 07/10/11


Evaluation Summary: Despite being undersized in both height and weight, Kavon is a shifty point who plays with composure and makes things happen on the floor. His summer stock has soared (many sources listing him as a Top 100), with the above ratings not yet showing his increased value. He has exceptional quicks, which he utilizes at both ends of the floor. The present knock on Stewart is that he is a one directional player who heavily favors his left. He also needs to better establish a more consistent outside shot.

Kahil Dukes 5'11" (PG) Capital Prep (CT)

Class of 2013
Friars have yet to Offer.

Schools in the Recruiting Mix: Penn, Providence, UMass, Towson, LaSalle, St. Bonaventure, Siena and Northwestern.

PG# 70
National Rating: 2-Stars
ESPN Grade: 70


Evaluation Summary: Kahil is an undersized scoring guard trying hard to make the switch to being a point. As a freshman, he led the state of CT in scoring, demonstrating his offensive prowess from all places on the floor. As a Soph, he led the state in assists. Nevertheless, there are doubters that he is a team player, or that he makes those around him better. Dukes is a solid mid-major choice now and bears watching for the next level.

Kale Abrahamson 6'7" (SF) Des Moines (IA)

Class of 2012
Friars have yet to offer.

Schools in the Recruiting Mix: Stanford, Wake Forest. Creighton, Iowa, Wichita State, Notre Dame, Marquette, Harvard, Providence, Boston College, Nebraska, No. Iowa, and Colorado.

SF# 34
National Rating: 3-Stars
ESPN Grade: 88
Updated: 07/01/11

Evaluation Summary:
Kale is an athletic player who show talent at both ends of the court. He is also equally effective in the the open court and half court where he has the ability to create his own shot. Abrahamson has developing perimeter skills, but needs to release his shot from a higher position to avoid it being blocked. He also tends to drive to his right a lot which makes him predictable. At the defensive end, Kale will sacrifice his body and take the charge, rebounds well from the wing and is a general pest to his opponent.
