Recruiting Report: Andre Screen (2020)

Not many prospects in the local 2020 class have improved as much as Andre Screen over the course of the last 12 months. The 6-foot-10 post prospect out of St. Stephens & St. Agnes, who blocks shots and is becoming a mammoth on the boards, can score in a variety of ways on the offensive end. Screen still has a lot of room for growth, but it just seems like he gets better each time we see him. During a recent interview with Prep Hoops, he talked a bit about his recruitment and overall game among other topics.
