Cornell received a verbal commitment tonight from Galal Cancer (Christian Bros. Academy) Albany, New York, 6-2, G.Cancer, a point guard, was recruited by Penn, Davidson, Wichita State, Albany, Lafayette, Northeastern, Lehigh, Army, Navy, Bucknell, Citadel, Elon, Furman, and Quinnipiac. Albany offered a scholarship according to RecruitRecon.com.
A two-star recruit on Scout.com and Rated a 75 by ESPN Insiders, ESPN evaluates Cancer as follows, "Cancer is a strong guard who does his best work going to the rim. He changes speeds well off the dribble, can attack his defender to both sides, and finishes well. He'll take smaller defenders to the low post and is also a good defender. He must continue to develop his overall ball skills, make the jump shot a more consistent part of his offensive arsenal, and improve his decision making." Meanwhile NYCHoopsNet.com which ranks Cancer among the top 32 players in New York, writes, "An attacking guard who is deceptive due to his ability to change speed."
Scouting Cancer during July, Hoopville.net writes, "Nice floor leader surely opened some eyes with his play here, as he played well at both ends of the floor. He?s not a jet, but he got to the basket all day by finding gaps and passed on the move very well and scored on some of his drives, using the left (off) hand a couple of times. He also defended well, and while his body isn?t there yet he has good size for his position. Mid-major prospect."
For Christian Brothers High School, New York's AA State Champions, Cancer averaged 11.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game alongside Division I recruit, Kam Ritter (a freshman at St. Francis, PA this season).
Cancer collected numerous awards and honors as a junior including honorable mention All Big 10 Conference selection, Troy Record All-Area Team, the Basketball Coaches Association of New York (BCANY) First Team, the BCANY Top 50 Team, 7th Team All State (AA) by the New York Sportswriters and the 2010 NYSPHSAA Class AA All-Tournament team. Cancer was also named a NBC News (News Channel 13 Albany) All Star (click here for video).
