Trin Christ MaxPreps

Named to MaxPreps Junior All-America Third Team --  Under-the-radar prospect averaged 25.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists to guide the Holy Rams (26-9) to the No. 16 spot in the final National Top 20. Look for Dilione to see a significant rise in the national rankings prior to next season.

Jamie Shaw on Dilione 2 months ago --  Freddie Dilione is a 2023 shooting guard at Raleigh (NC) Word of God. He has put up some gaudy stats with multiple triple-doubles on the season. Strong and athletic, Dilione is wired to score. He claims offers from Providence, VCU, St John’s, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, LSU, and more.

His list is expanding rapidly and dramatically. Initial outreach by us, but no reason to believe we were early on this one or yet believe there is any mutual interest beyond "sure, I'd like you to recruit me."

Didn't he have a good weekend in Indy this past weekend? Feel like I saw that headline.

After the 2 evaluation periods his 24 points per game are the second most of anyone on the Adidas circuit thus far, and he is adding 7.3 rebounds per game from his guard position.

No judgement of the kid as a player, but this offer makes zero sense to me to the point that I don’t actually buy it.

Just dropped his top 10, of which IU is not 1. Try not to spit take with surprise.
