ESPN Says Abu is College-Ready
Recently, ESPN’s Paul Biancardi answered a question on twitter about which HS recruits were most ready for college. His answer should have NC State fans pretty excited.
When you ask “college ready,” I am going to combine that into physical readiness, skills and an understanding of the game. Also, let’s look outside the top 25 to gain a broader perspective.
Here are five who come to mind:
Abdul-Malik Abu (NC State) and Angel Delgado (Seton Hall) are physically ready as they own bodies that can withstand the contact of the game, especially in the painted area. Two outstanding rebounders, and that is a skill that translates well as a player moves up in levels. They keep their bodies in great shape, so the speed of the game shouldn’t affect them while being battle-tested on a national level in the paint.
