Hmmm....just tested the link and it appears to be behind a paywall. Was able to get it on my phone earlier.

Connected with someone close to the WA program. Great reviews about Declan & his game. Started alongside the other D1 talent & confirmed the other reports on his ability. Good Low-Post player that can hit the midrange shot...doesn't shoot it as much from deep. It was put to me that he's definitely "D1 caliber" and a better player coming out than Rabs a few years ago. May be a sneaky find in the backyard. I sure hope so.

Ryan is certainly used to winning in a big way and he played with and faced excellent competition in his year at Worcester Academy. Another plus is the Worcester Winter certainly won't bother him.

Looking forward to seeing Declan as a “Big Hefty” in battle for HC in the post, or as Al Maguire would call him an Aircraft Carrier. With his size and weight, he should not be pushed around by a Keegan Records type player. Can’t get him soon enough in the Smith Performance Center for strength and conditioning to battle D1 talent.

Both parents are alums
That would have to be a first, but hopefully not a last.

I'm excited about this guy and expect that our coaches and conditioners will really move his game forward, Hearing now that his parents are grads is great to hear.
No mention of the parents' names or whether they played sports at HC

hard to believe grandison was only #100 in new england and was an immediate impact player for us, started for a top 10 illinois team, and ultimately getting meaningful minutes at duke.
goes to show you what an inexact science recruiting can be.
