Glowiak Verbals to Sacred Heart

New England Recruiting Report | Thursday, October 15th, 2009

No one helped themselves more this summer than Steven Glowiak as he first exploded at the New England Elite 75 Showcase and then continued to play well throughout the rest of the month of July. 

His strong play elevated his recruitment squarely to the division I level giving him a variety of offers to choose from.  Ultimately, Glowiak trimmed his list to three schools and after having visited Sacred Heart, Bentley, and Bryant in recent weeks the sharp-shooting guard made his choice on Wednesday and opted to stay close to home. 

"It was an agonizing decision once I had narrowed it down to three great choices. I enjoyed my visits but ultimately I decided to stay in state and give my family a better opportunity to see most of the games,” Glowiak said.  “While I felt very comfortable with all of the coaching staffs of each school, I especially look forward to working with Coach Bike, Coach Latina and Coach Kidd at Sacred Heart.”

Glowiak began his high school career at Berlin High School but transferred to New Britain for his junior year to play for his father, Hurricanes head coach Stan Glowiak. 

And while Glowiak’s break-out may have happened last summer in terms of his recruitment, fans of Connecticut high school basketball saw him take his game to a new level during the previous high school season. 

Always a lethal perimeter shooter, Glowiak’s body caught up with his skill set and helped to make him a scholarship level athlete with a more complete game. 

"Steven had a tough time with his decision since each of the schools had something unique to offer, but eventually he wanted to remain a Connecticut kid,” he said.  “His hard work after the high school season payed off with a big spring and summer showing with CBC. The timing of his development couldn't have been better. As a parent and his coach I couldn't be much prouder."

With his recruitment now behind him, Glowiak is free to concentrate on the season ahead of him as he and Darius Watson will form one of the top 1-2 punches in the state of Connecticut and put New Britain in contention for another state title.
