If you thought there was a dearth of information about UD recruit and Qatar native Hamad Mousa, even less intel was available on the fifth and final 2024 signee, Amael L’Etang, the 7’1” French import. Like Mousa, L’Etang arrived with zero buildup before committing, as he and his agent worked with AG and staff in relative anonymity. Better get used to it, kids, because this is pretty much the way it will be from now on in recruiting.

Eurohoops had this to say about the big guy:

Amael L’Etang is one of the most underrated European players making their way to college, having committed to Dayton. The 7’1 big finished the season with 13.8pts, 10.0rebs, 2.3asts and 0.9blks in the French U21 League, having played for the senior team as well
