Platek's on his recruitment: "This has kind of blown up"
Certain offers turn heads, perk ears, make you pay more attention.
When Roy Williams called 2017 shooting guard Andrew Platek to offer him a full scholarship to North Carolina, the 6-4, 190-pound prospect's recruitment changed.
"It means a lot," Platek told CarolinaBlue on Monday.
Platek, who is from Albany, N.Y., but plays his prep ball and is enrolled at Northfield Mount Hermon School in Gill, Mass., is the one of eight offers out for UNC in the 2017 class.
The Tar Heels already have one player committed --- 2017 combo guard Jalek Felton.
Platek holds a number of offers, but he listed the ones that are standing out right now: "UNC, Stanford, Miami, Butler, Rutgers, Davidson, George Washington, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and St. Joe's."
Indiana is in the picture as well. Platek and his family are taking an unofficial visit to check out Bloomington and the Hoosiers on Friday.
The sharp-shooting guard had a plan for his recruitment, but that has since changed once the Tar Heels and other big programs entered the picture.
"...this has kind of blown up," he told CarolinaBlue. "I am going to Indiana this Friday for an unofficial. I am calling Coach Williams and my parents Wednesday night to try and set up a visit to UNC some time in May or June. My family and I are trying to get something set up with Stanford as of right now --- to try and get out there before July. But I also want to try and get to Davidson sometime early this summer, if the opportunity presents itself. So those are the visits I have in the works right now."
Despite the offer from UNC, Platek is taking his time and building relationships with all the schools and coaches. "I am still considering all my options," he said. "They are all working just as hard and I want to treat everybody fairly and with respect.
Platek is in consistent communication with his main group of schools. "I'm talking with those coaches all the time. Once a day at least."
In terms of his game, Platek is known as a three-point shooter. He has earned the reputation as one of the best shooters on the very competitive NIKE EYBL Circuit. After two weekends of tournaments, the 6-4 guard is averaging 14.6 points per game while shooting 52.2% from the field and 54.1% from three.
"I've been told that I am a very tough player," Platek explained. "I am willing to get after it. Just my attentiveness to the game. I don't take a play off. I am always locked in on defense. I communicate well with my teammates. I try to defend as well as I can. I make the smart passes and am an unselfish player.
"I have been a shooter growing up all my whole life. I know that to get to the next level and play at the highest level I need to expand my game --- which would include getting to the hoop, using dribble moves to create space for shots, and going into the lane and drawing fouls. So I have been just working on my handle and using ball screens effectively as well as just trying to get to the hoop, drawing contact, and finishing at the rim."
As of now Platek's recruitment is very open. He is still gathering offers while communicating with coaches from around the country. He is planning on visits to Indiana, UNC, Stanford, and Davidson.
Per the 247Sports Composite ranking of the 2017 class, Platek is the No. 39 shooting guard, No. 4 player in the state of Massachusetts, and the No. 163 prospect overall.

Not sure he will, but I do recall Seth playing in the Arener when he was still in high school.raptorcat wrote:Since a significant component of our recruitment process is the recruit's interaction with his potential teammates, this would mean he will visit during the weeks of the basketball camps, correct? If so, do the NCAA rules allow him to participate in the nightly pickup games?
He just picked up an offer from Georgia.CatDawg wrote:Love to add Murphy also....
