Throwback to another season when Saint Mary’s had a dangerous combo guard and a couple of very important guys in the frontcourt @OmarSamhan @saintmaryshoops @GaelAlumni @byronjr23 @GaryParrishCBS @ESPNLunardi @JonRothstein @GoodmanHoops @SeanFarnham

Omar Samhan looking like a movie star!! Dare I say Omar Shariff!!

who's next? #GoGators

Spent time in the gym with Florida’s national champion point guard Walter Clayton Jr. Hard to find a prospect in this Draft class more comfortable getting to their shooting pocket off the bounce. Impeccable balance and touch.

WCC bigs don’t get much better than these two: #Gonzaga’s J.P. Batista and #SMC’s Omar Samhan.

Harry Wessels is Shamrock Office Solutions Student Athlete of the Week following his performances in wins over Santa Clara and Gonzaga. Most impactful were his free throws to give the Gaels the lead late in the game against the Zags, followed by a block that sealed the win!

Lacarea Pleasant-Johnson is one of the most UNDERRATED CB’s to come out of the FCS. Pleasant-Johnson, who is the nephew of Tony Dungy (HOF) just declared for the 2025 NFL Draft last night. Pleasant-Johnson is reportedly able to reach in-game speeds up to 22.4 MPH (with a 79’5 wingspan and 34’5 arm) and says that he “models” his game after Richard Sherman. Many NFL scouts reportedly believe Pleasant-Johnson could end up “sneaking into the 4-5 round” on draft day. Pleasant-Johnson also didn’t allow a single 100-yard game across his ENTIRE college career. Pleasant-Johnson will be a draft day STEAL and could enter the NFL as one of the fastest CB’s 😳

Family approved.
