even though these are highlight films so they show all of his good plays. the one thing i love about this kid is, he never gives up on the play. how many loose balls did he come up with???
 
His style of play makes me think of JO. They are both long, lean guards who like to penetrate and rebound. It appears JO is a better passer, but this guy appears to have a better outside shot.
 
I hope it's true. The kid has a real nose for the ball. Loved watching the highlights. He always seemed to be where the ball was. Also seemed to have a great feel for where the ball is going to come off the rim on a rebound. Looks like a good one, if we could get him.

Not sure how we could get him, as I just bet our recruiting budget doesn't have money in it for trips to Europe...:krazy:
 
If it is true...and Lansing and Co. get word that this has been leaked, they're prob a little bummed that the secret is out.

Viva Italia!

Hmmmm......this is very interesting stuff. I didn't know that we had an open scholarship for the 2011 season.
 
Like his movement especially around the basket. He has quick feet and hands to make steals and get to the basket--elevates nice. He moves without the basketball too and makes for a lot of positives--especially defensively.

Only thing I don't like is that he needs a haircut.

This kid can flat out play - I will believe this when I see it. Not that it might be true, just that no other school is in on this kid? Come on? I'm not a scout - but I can look at 1 of these videos and tell you the kid is strait legit.
 
No, but mabell did (did you see the other post?). We might be too old, but all this stuff is available to the young squirts.
 
Backer - not sure if your talking to me or not? I haven't seen any other posts, haven't been on the site until just now. I can tell you that this kids Facebook page is right here: http://www.facebook.com/amedeo.dellavalle and it doesn't appear to me that he is friends with anyone from Indiana State University. Is that an indicator of anything? Other than the fact that he probably hasn't been on a visit or anything like that - no not a valid indicator. I am going based on what I've seen in the video only and this kid is a top 100 player.


I've seen the post now - pretty intriguing and I'd love to have him. I just think based on what I've seen in these videos he's a high major player and assuming he's one of the top young players in Europe he would have to be on more radar screens than Indiana State's. Assuming that is the case - what is brining this kid to Terre Haute, Indiana? Big time exposure? MVC? Jake Odum? Lol

As the guy who first posted this rumor in here, I feel I have to say that even I have no idea about how much truth there is to it. As I said, all I know for sure is that Amedeo is moving to the US to play college ball, starting in the upcoming season, and when I asked a few people who have some knowledge about the situation, the name of Indiana State popped out as his possible/probable choice - that's all.

I actually came here looking for some kind of confirmation about this, but it seems that if it is indeed true it's been a well-kept secret so far... If that were to be the case, I'd feel rather guilty for spoiling it :D
