Looks bigger than 190... he put on some mass over the past year?

Kid is extremely raw. Not a fan. He mentions “interest” from those bigger schools are just that.

OUMAR KOUREISSI, NATIONAL CHRISTIAN (MD) 2020 FORWARD

National Christian went 4-0 at DMV Live 2 and the 6-foot-9 Koureissi was a major reason why, giving the Eagles an interior presence on both ends of the floor.

In the three games I saw, Kouressi went for 17 points and 8 rebounds in a 69-57 win over Georgetown Prep on June 28, 15 and 11 in a 54-45 win over Flint Hill June 29 and 22 and 8 in a 78-52 win over St. Mary’s-Ryken.

“My biggest strength is my versatility,” he said. “That’s what attracts coaches - being able to do what I do at my size. If I’ve got a guy my size on my, he may not be able to move as well as me, but if they put a small defender on me I can also just post him up, so I just take pride in my versatility.”

Koureissi said he’s looking to make his jumper more consistent. He’s one of the top players back this year for NCA, and knows he needs to set an example for his younger teammates.

“This is my first time really being a leader so it’s kind of new to me,” he said, “but I’m just trying to step up to the plate and make sure I’m talking at all times, because it’s a lot of new guys on the team, and being a guy that was here last year, I’ve got to make sure they know what’s going on at all times. I just want to be a guy where if anything is going wrong, they can come to me for guidance.”

Koureissi currently holds offers from Bryant, Massachusetts, Towson, Rhode Island and Stony Brook and said he has a good idea of what he’d like in a college home.

“At first I was chasing conferences and stuff like that,” he said. “But now I just want somewhere that best fits me; somewhere I can go and just have almost like a home environment and get better.”
