Gazette Tidbit on Melsahn Basabe

Siena recruit released from Letter of Intent

April 14, 2010 at 11:58 am by Pete Iorizzo
Melsahn Basabe, a 6-foot-7 power forward who had signed to play for Siena beginning this coming season, has been released from his Letter of Intent, his coach at St. Mark’s School (Mass.) said in an e-mail Wednesday.
Basabe, from Glen Cove, was granted a full release, meaning he now can sign with any other school.
It’s the first set back from new coach Mitch Buonaguro, who had been hoping to hold onto Basabe and fellow signee Trenity Burdine, a swingman, as well as Robbie Poole, a shooting guard who has given an oral commitment to come for the 2011-12 season.
Siena now has two scholarships to offer players for this coming season, at least one of which almost certainly will be used on a point guard.

Melsahn Basabe, a 6-foot-7 power forward who had signed to play for Siena this coming season, has been released from his Letter of Intent, his coach at St. Mark’s School (Mass.) said in an e-mail Wednesday.

Basabe, from Glen Cove, soon could be joining Fran McCaffery at Iowa, which already has come forward with a scholarship offer, St. Mark’s coach David Lubick said.

“He will visit (Iowa) soon,â€￾ Lubick wrote in an e-mail.

One of the highest-rated recruits ever to sign at Siena, Basabe now seems bound for a higher level. Texas, Boston College and Indiana also have shown interest, Lubick said.

Some of those people are really fired up about Fran "poaching" Basabe. I dont think its poaching, Fran told his Siena recruits to honor their LOI's.
 
Boy I hope your correct stormin!!!!! i really hope so. Go Hawks, if and thats a big IF we could get Larsona and Brust back that would be unbelievable
 
Won't it be fun to watch this?
1. Get the defensive rebound.
2. Make a good, quick outlet pass.
3. Fill the lanes.
4. Maintain control. Be quick, but never hurry.
5. Recognize. Don't force the break or pass if it is not there.
6. Set up in half court and continue to be be quick -- but don't hurry.

Instead of this:
1. Get the defensive rebound and hold it a couple seconds before handing it off or flipping it to a ball handler.
2. Getting to the mid-court line with 28 seconds left.
3. Setting up in half court as the clock gets down to 25 seconds.
4. Set high screens for about 15 seconds of playing time. and play slow, not quick.
5. Start to get into a little panic at about the 7 second mark, still 35 feet from the hoop.
6. Now get quick, hurry up, and jack one or force a drive without a strong finish about 90 percent of the time.
