As first reported by the New England Recruiting Report, Detroit Douglass PF Andre Frederick has decided to head to Hand (CT) before attending Robert Morris for college. Frederick played a key role in his junior season for Douglass en route to the Hurricane’s city final four appearance. The 6’8″ big man was one the states’ most feared shot blockers heading into his senior season. Fredreick has the quick feet to cover both the paint and perimeter, and long arms a coach looks for to deflect shots. Although he has not yet reached his whole potential on offense, Frederick has a big frame and wide shoulders who is not afraid to throw one down on you when he gets a chance.
This is a huge loss for the Hurricanes, who have hopes of cutting the nets down at the Breslin Center this March. However, Douglass will still be contenders in Class B with division one recruits Darrell Davis (Dayton), and Terrell Hales (Cleveland State).
