    Seton Hall Prep’s dynamic combo guard Dallas Anglin has given a verbal to Hofstra University! He joins St. Anthony’s Jimmy Hall for the Class of 2012!  Anglin chose the Pride over Siena,St. Joe’s,Richmond,Penn State,St. Peter’s,Manhattan,Towson,Rice and Western Kentucky! Dallas based his decision on the love he felt Hofstra showed him throughout the recruiting process! Anglin is a 6’0 guard who has developed his point guard skills, can shoot the ball, put it on the floor and defend! But what makes Anglin special in Hoop Journals eyes is he possesses the “WOW” factor in his game! His athleticsm will make you use that word as he is as quick as anyone on the floor and has bigtime vertical! On a personal note, Hoop Journal would like to congratulate Dallas, his father and mother Kyle and Diane and his little brother Denver on his decision and nothing but the best in the future!
