Now that we can post videos, I'm going to start putting highlight videos in the profiles. The only reason I didn't before is that you couldn't embed video on the old board, otherwise I would have.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
Named by Dave Telep as one of the Top Five '13 recruits in the Atlantic 10, along with Josh Brown, JeQuan Lewis, Isaiah Watkins, and E.C. Matthews. 2/5 ain't bad!
PF Hassan Martin
College: Rhode Island
Hometown/High school: Staten Island, N.Y./Curtis
This is a power forward who you can't help but like. In the paint, he gives you a taste of everything and operates from a blue-collar perspective. The lefty is an extra-effort maven. He comes up with blocks, and he doesn't like to rebound; Martin loves to rebound. This is a get-it-done forward with a motor that is revved all the time.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
Sounds like ARD only with a bigger upside.
He's going to be playing SF, which is where he wants to be for his
NBA future.
He'll probably need to work on his face up game and his outside shot, but at 16, he's got a lot of time to learn and develop.
By the way, was Martin even in that video?

No, he wasn't in the video. He is #21. He was probably hurt during this time.

Yeah, I thought he was playing in that game. He's listed on the roster of the youtube video description, but they probably just copied and pasted the schools' rosters.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
From ESPN about the Sharette Dixon Classic (pic is Jordan Washington and Reggie Cameron)
Love hearing about Martin's development already- and he's still just 16!
http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecr ... st?id=4156
Surprise Performance
Hassan Martin (Staten Island, N.Y./Curtis)
2013, PF, 6-7, 190
College: Rhode Island
If there was any doubt that he’s a flat-out steal in the Atlantic 10, Sunday’s night’s performance should put that uncertainty to bed once and for all. He’s added notable muscle mass to his frame since July while maintaining the same long and cut build to complement his mobility and athleticism. The southpaw’s face-up skill set has continued to evolve to the point that he made short jumpers off both the catch and the dribble. Also, he was as consistent a finisher as there was in the field, rolling off screens and crashing the offensive glass to throw down emphatic dunks with both hands.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
The level of recruit that the Hurleys are chasing [and getting] is light years better than what we've had for a long time, with the possible exception of Hare. Of course, the coaching staff still had to close the deal on him, and the fact they did, tells me he will be worth it.
I have no doubt also, that these types of recruits will be coming to Kingston for a long time. Maybe we will, after all, reach that Xavier level we've all been dreaming about.

Wait - is he a 2, 3, or 4? I've seen him listed as everything on here!
Either way, great to have a guy who can do all of that.
It certainly is nice to see that our perception of recruiting under the Hurleys was spot on.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
Hassan has said that the coach sees him as a 3 on this team.
We're seeing that, overall, the staff can get the players they want. The next step is to see how they turn out. I'm not worried about that at all, BTW.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
NEVER seen Martin listed as a 2.
His forte is inside play, rebounding and finishing.
He is working on his face-up game to be a 3 in the NBA, where
many feel his upside will bring him.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI Verbal)
It says SG/SF on the topic title.
That being said, he certainly seems like a 3. Big enough height-wise in the A-10 to play at 4 if needed though.

For no particular reason, EC is the signing I am anxious to
see get done.
Maybe it's because he took a lot of crap for verballing to us.

Re: '13 NY SG/SF Hassan Martin (URI - Signed LOI)
It's really amazing.
URI will go from having quite possibly the least talented team in the A10 in 2012-13, to most likely a top third talented team in 2013-14.
From maybe 8-10 wins this year, to 18-20 or more, and at least an NIT caliber team, next year.
I say we schedule Canisius next season. Cupcake city! Haha.
