2026 NE Frosh/Soph #E75 - Best of the Forwards pt. 2

Tuesday, September 15th, 2026

More on the group of forwards we saw this past weekend…

Arber Beqaj, Quincy: After starring at Quincy High School during his freshman year, Beqaj has seemingly an even larger role within his sights. He's got great size at 6'4" with solid shooting mechanics to make them in the mid-range and from three while also providing some tough rebounding.

William Torti, Salisbury: Torti brings a ton of versatility to the floor as a 6'5" forward who can really switch around to defend across different positions. He's tough on the offensive end to score inside and takes his game beyond the line to hit threes too.

Isreal Fitzpatrick, Windsor: Fitzpatrick is another young forward to keep an eye on at CIAC powerhouse Windsor HS. He's 6'3" heading into his freshman year with the ability to score the rock around the rim or to make shots in rhythm.

Jack DAdamo, Cohasset: The 6'4" forward is gearing up for his freshman year in the MIAA at Cohasset High School on the south shore. D'Adamo stands at 6'4" with a sturdy frame to absorb contact around the basket and use his soft touch to score. Solid as a rebounder in the post as well.

Matt Guerrieo, Shawsheen Tech: Another name to know moving down the line out of Shawsheen Tech, Guerrieo impacts the game in a number of different ways. He's able to attack the basket with his slashing ability and finish inside, while being a competent outside shooter and walls up to block shots on defense.

Bentley Tarbox, Falmouth: The lefty forward should be next man up for one of Maines most conistent programs. He has a strong body to pair with a high motor and can play through contact on drives to the basket.

Elijah Boston, Brooks: Another young piece at the Brooks School ready to get things rolling this winter. Boston is a 6'3" forward who can put the ball on the floor and attack the rim where he can both rise up to finish or convert layups through contact.

Sam Newton, Longmeadow: Newton has grown as a shooter off the ball who does a nice job of floating on the perimeter to get open and rise right into shots off the catch. With his threat to shoot he's also able to attack off the bounce and get into the paint.

Julius Wilson, St. Marks: Wilson is a dual-sport athlete that has improving bounce off the floor that will be worth monitoring as he's in the early stages of his development right now. Does a good job though of competing on the defensive end and hauling in rebounds.

Graham Condron, The Masters School: Condron has good length at the forward spot heading into his freshman season at Masters on a young and promising team. He's 6'4" with length to make an impact on the interior as a scorer and to crowd passing lanes on defense.

Eren Ozmen, British International School of Boston: Ozmen is able to impact the game in different ways from the forward position with versatility he brings. He's able to get in the lane off the bounce to get shots up or pass it out to shooters, while also able to hit shots of his own from three.

Graham Massey, St. Joes: The 6'5" forward has some craft to his game using his body and moves to get around defenders to score the ball in the paint. Plays with a really high motor and has upside with good size heading into his sophomore year in the CIAC.

Liam Stoll, Albany Academy: Stoll was among the youngest in the field over the weekend making his mark on the event as an eighth grader. He plays with a high motor attacking the basket through contact and can make shots from beyond the arc off the catch.

Cooper Penesso, Albany Academy: Penesso thrives as a slasher with his athleticism and eye for getting to the rim. He can really make the defense pay in the open floor with his ability to rise up and throw down dunks in transition.

Jasper Nirgudkar, Darien: Nirgudkar has potential in the CIAC 2029 class at Darien HS already standing at 6'5" as he heads into his sophomore season. He does a good job of utilizing his length to score in the paint and impact the game on the defensive end.

Cayden Jimenez, Chicopee Comp: Jimenez plays with good pace and has some quickness to his game to attack open lanes off the ball. He has some touch to score it in the lane as well as to step out a bit and shoot from three.
