I think I'd rather have Tevian Jones.

Me too. Jones plays with a certain attitude I think UC could benefit from. We have enough nice guys. Need someone with a mean streak. But,this Policelli would be a decent pickup if Jones goes elsewhere.

Agree, Jones looks more athletic as well. Unfortunately, I am not sure if we are actually pursuing Jones. I haven't seen anything about us offering a scholarship.

Yeah I definitely like the idea of getting a wing, so however that has to happen.

I have seen him listed at 6'8 and over 200 pounds. Went to H.S. in central N.Y. and transferred to Long Island Lutheran for more exposure. Also another lefty.

Jones is a wing and Policelli is a stretch four. One doesn't really have anything to do with the other...

Oh interesting! That's a horse of a different color!

 

[rogerOH]

With a name like Policelli you would think he would be perfect for a major in Criminal Justice but read where he is thinking about majoring in Sports Medicine or Communications.

Policelli had 3 pts. and 3 rebounds in the championship of the Beach Ball Classic.

Think there is a reason coach has extended offer to this kid and not tevian Jones. He might not be as athletic but way smoother and looks to be a better shooter. We have enough athletes, need someone to put ball in basket. For what we need, he might be better choice.

Read Chad's post.

Could see him as a Terry Larrier -UConn- type. Will be 17 when he graduates from H.S.

 

[waterhead]

He does not look very good to me...but that was a short tape.

Pretty good touch for a 4.

 

[UCalum08]

Pretty good touch for a 4.

Agreed. Keep targeting good offensive players and teach the rest later. This guy has a nice looking shot, especially for a stretch 4.

Some good information in this article from January 2018. I highlighted the parts with UC.

"MIDDLE VILLAGE, NY -- Frankie Policelli was the top performer at the Apparel Challenge yesterday. Policelli, a 6’8 small forward from Long Island Lutheran, finished with 28 points and eight three pointers in a 79-72 win over Archbishop Stepinac. His coaches gave him the greenlight and it paid off."

"Texas Tech calls or texts me every day, Cincinnati does the same thing and Dayton as well,” he said.

Another top-25 team in the Cincinnati Bearcats have done good job recruiting the 2018 sharpshooter.

“Cincinnati said that they like my shooting and that they need that for next year,” Policelli said. “They like how I can guard multiple positions. They have been recruiting me hard lately.”

Let's go get him!

Also want to point out that we offered Franks HS teammate PG Tyson Etienne (Class of '19).
