Recruiting Update: Jon Alessandro (2018)
The last time I spoke with Jon Alessandro (2018), he was receiving interest from schools but had no offers yet. Now, with July now coming to an end, he has picked up 2 offers from Purdue University Northwest and Lourdes University. His hard work in the gym has been paying off and he is definitely a name on the rise. After missing a few games last season due to an injury, Jon has been playing at a high level with no issues.
“My shoulder is feeling fine..it hasn’t been bothering me at all since the beginning of spring”.
The injury definitely did not scare any colleges as the 2 new offers come after some strong performances during AAU ball. By working on his outside shot, Jon is becoming an even more talented inside-out player He still dominates the paint and now is even more deadly from the 3PT line and beyond. While also working on his explosiveness, Jon has had the opportunity to play AAU as well as playing summer league for Beavercreek HS.
“We had a good June playing in some shootouts and camps and we have been working hard in the weight room and on our skills so I expect a good season”.
With a few more weeks before school starts back up, Jon will have a little more time to keep working on his game but he has shown such great improvement that I have no doubt he can pick up yet another offer before September rolls around. I said it in January and I’ll say it again now, Jon Alessandro is definitely a name to watch come November in Dayton.
