He's a sensation in upstate NY. My parents are from up there--seems like everyone in the basketball community has heard of him. A lot like Clingan down here.

Recruitment Put on Hold for Lew-Port's Roddy Gayle

Averaged 28PPG as a sophomore. Thinking about going prep--some coaches saying to go, others aren't.

Sounds like he's switching to the NY Rens if AAU starts up.

Stats from 17u last summer. 9.6/3/2.3... 58% FG, 44% from deep. 88%FT. Those are fantastic stats for a 2022

Recruit 1-on-1: 2022 6’4 SG Roddy Gayle Jr. (Lewiston Porter Senior) - Phenom Hoop Report

One of the top prospects in the state of New York as a sophomore, 6’4 Roddy Gayle Jr. has certainly seen his recruitment continue to take off from high-major programs around the country. Holding offers from schools in the SEC, ACC, Big 12, and others, Gayle is excited to see what the future...

Tons of offers already. Xavier, Georgetown, Bama, Oklahoma, Michigan, the Ohio State, Cuse, Tenn, Georgia, Marquette, LSU, Nebraska, etc. Has visited Cuse, Wake, Ohio State and Michigan, I believe.

Sophomore year mix: Roddy Gayle Sophmore Year Mixtape


Summer 2019 highlights:


Seems to me like he could fill a similar role to Bouk. 3-level scorer, really athletic.

Roddy Gayle just reminds me of Rudy Gay. Just the name.

 

[Mr. French]

Have seen him play a bunch, have coached against him but only in summer leagues, etc. He is a stud, very good athlete. Competition isn't premier in his league but he's shown he can handle the competition in AAU and states as an 8th grader. Have never heard much in terms of him being a headache or bad kid or anything either.

Was at Niagara Falls as an 8th grader and had 2 other 8/9th graders that were both big time prospects, and they all left. Falls is where Flynn, Garrison and Paul Harris all went (and James Starks from the Packers).

I just hope he doesn't choose Cuse.

That would be Rudy’s alter ego if he put on one of those fake glasses and mustache disguises and tried to get some more college eligibility.

 

[Mr. French]

Also, I know he can shoot, but he's not known for being a sniper or anything around here ... he's known for being a freak athlete and just a really excellent player. So his shooting splits, per @husky429, seem very promising.

Sorrycuse could be a problem simply due to its location. 280 miles closer than Storrs and that's about 4 or more hours driving time. That, coupled with the virus making people think more about distance from home might complicate recruiting for the good guys.
His Dad seems very involved with his development and, based on his Dad saying how much more complete a player his son is, their relationship seems honest and deep so we just have to hope Dad believes in letting his son decide what's best for his future.

 

[Mr. French]

Just got offered by Ohio State also, per twitter.

Let's hope his Dad and he will weigh the merits of his playing zone defense in college for his future development as a pro and that DH as a coach vs JB will shed some illumination on his ultimate choice.

 

[UconnU]

New mix. Syracuse seems to be favoring Cruz at the moment. I think Gayle is the better player.

The staff is targeting nothing but studs. I love it

The efficiency is outstanding. He takes so few bad shots. 88% from the line; 44% from deep against the best competition in the country as a freshman? Insane. Also has a rep as a great defender.

 

[UCLJ0211]

I can hear the UConn announcer saying his name now after a vicious dunk on a helpless Big East defender

 

[UconnU]

This is him as a freshman lol

 

[Mr. French]

Just got a Marquette offer today.

 

[Watchdog]

Just got a Marquette offer today.

Hmmm. The "university of Marquette" must not be well known to him and thus not likely to be any competititon for the good guys.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Roddy Gayle? Are we also recruiting Roy Alvin?

 

[Chief00]

The virtual Grind is starting to come together but hope there is some “Live” action this summer.
