The 6-foot-2 Cassell Jr. went for 40 points last Friday against Winchendon and is now hearing from UConn, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, USF, UCF, Washington, Maryland and Seton Hall, Hurd and Cassell Jr. said.
“I think I can bring energy to a team along with some scoring,” Cassell Jr. told SNY.tv.
Said Hurd: “Everyone’s calling on him now. He’s played himself into being the best available guard. He’s blowing up.”
Notre Dame, which also features Pitt-bound 7-footer Steven Adams and Xavier signee Myles Davis, plays Canarias Basketball Academy Friday and La Jolla Prep Saturday at the National Prep Invitational.
“The season is going well,” Cassell Jr. said. “My season goal is to win a national championship.”
