2026 New England Open Gym Recap - pt. I

Monday, October 26th, 2026

The New England Open Gym brought a deep pool of talent from across the region to Worcester Academy on Sunday, drawing a strong contingent of Division II, Division III and prep coaches despite college practices being fully underway. The talent once again spoke for itself, with a high percentage of participants showing the tools to play at the collegiate level. We’re kicking off a full week of recap coverage with Part One below.

Kingsley Rogers, Williston Northampton: Rogers just made his debut in the 247Sports national rankings for the class of 2028 the other day and was able to show off just why high major schools have their coaches on him. He's got a great blend of size and ballhandling in the backcourt with the IQ to make the right reads for his team. Rogers showed off his stellar shotmaking from deep, decelerating from top speed right into three's, while making tough pull-ups in the mid-range as well. As he continues to grow his game, the potential he possesses is well worth noting.

Michael Bradley, Vermont Academy: The Connecticut native showed off an expanded skill set in this setting as a playmaking guard. He was able to make things happen as a passer, using his threat to score to draw in defenders and hit cutting teammates for easy looks in the lane. His creation as a scorer has taken steps forward top as he made tough fadeaways, while his jumper overall looked much more fluid, allowing him to hit threes with confidence.

Nik Boateng, Lexington Christian: While he missed a ton of time with injury this past summer, Boateng is a guard that coaches need to keep on their list. His resume at LCA speaks for itself having championship-winning experience at the lead guard posiiton. He was among the top talent in the event and made his presence felt when he was on the floor. Boateng can pinpoint passes to shooters or cutting teammates, while playing with pace and poise. He makes things happen off the dribble too with his vision to hit gaps hard, and showed impressive body control around the rim.

Andrew Adegbite, Macduffie: We reported this past week that Adegbite took an unofficial visit to Northeastern, as the 6'5" forward has been a clear winner this fall. His athleticism is the true calling card of his game which combined with his physicality/strength allows him to really impose his will around the basket. He showed some nice creation off the bounce in this setting and made shots as well. Will play a big role in what is a wide-open AA landscape this season.

Naziel Hilario, Lincoln HS (RI): Hilario's back in New England following a stint at St. Benedict's in New Jersey, and has continued to grow his game since our last viewing. He was very confident in running the show for his showcase squad, driving around screens for easy lays inside, spraying the ball out to shooters while getting downhill, and making shots of his own. Joining Lincoln in the RIIL, he's primed for a big season as a sophomore.

Kyle Seltzer, Williston Northampton: Seltzer has picked up offers from Binghamton, Cornell and Loyola Maryland since the start of August per his Instagram page and capped off his summer as part of a 3SSB title team. At 6'10" he has very impressive mobility to run the floor and make plays with the ball in his hands. He showed some good handle on it at his size while spacing the floor as a shooter with a really fluid looking stroke. He's still available in the class of 2027.

Cam Santos, Vermont Academy: Santos is looking to build off a strong career in the MIAA at Bridgewater-Raynham, and has quickly made a name for himself in the postgrad ranks since this past June. At 6'5" he has a unique ability to handle it and make things happen as an off the bounce scorer. He can shoot right through gaps with his linear speed and throw down dunks in the lane, while also offering smooth pull-up shooting skill. Has earned scholarship looks this fall and will be expected to play a big role at Vermont this season.

Tamari Reed, Salisbury: Coming from a strong basketball background, Reed has started to really come into his own over the past year, and now looks to be a huge piece for Salisbury as a postgrad this season. As a 6'5" wing/guard, his motor and strength to rebound and push the ball standout right away. He made shots at different levels with a nice-looking release on them while flashing as an athlete who also has polished footwork. 

Max Kellogg, Williston Northampton: Kellogg's another guard who has stood out for years but has had unfortunate luck with injury. You wouldn't be able to tell watching him though as he's made great strides with developing his body and his game was on full display. He's able to really make things happen at the point with crafty passing ability to deceive the defense and speed to create offense. He's a smooth shooting threat with a competitive fire that is contagious to his teammates.

Reid Robishaw, Oceanside: Another lengthy forward out of New England's northernmost point, Robishaw has some game to keep an eye on as he heads into his junior year. At 6'5", he's able to use his length to his advantage to finish with touch around the basket. He has solid footwork to score it in the post and is confident off the bounce to get inside and score it.

Eric Ferrara, Lincoln HS (RI): Ferrara has been a familiar face to our staff over the past year and competed yesterday as one of the youngest players in the gym as a freshman prospect. At 6'4", he has commands attention as a shooting threat with his quick release and consistent ability to knock down threes. He can handle the ball and attack off the bounce, while playing with good IQ to pass to the open man in double teams.

Myles Perry, Salisbury: Perry adds another layer of size to Salisbury's squad this season, and really jumped off the page in his NERR event debut yesterday. At 6'7", Perry is really versatile in how he can impact the game. He was able to make threes from all around the arc off the catch, while offering a smooth release on the ball, and one that he can get off with little space. He also impacted the game around the basket showing off his length and athleticism from the dunker spot, piling up a lot of points down low.

Martin Boua, Vermont Academy: Boua has a great blend of size and athleticism as well as a stronger frame at the power forward position and made a strong impact at the event. He's 6'6" and can finish with force around the rim on dump-off passes, while competing hard on the glass for rebounds too. His ability to put it on the floor a bit and score on jump stops and rip through's off the bounce stood out as well.

Hunter Berry, Worcester Academy: The Central Mass native has made great strides in his development most notably off the bounce as he's able to consistently get to the basket and score it. His speed with the ball is noteworthy as he moves with lightning quickness to blow past the defense, and is a true weapon in transition. We noted his athletic growth this past spring and his known shooting, but Berry's overall skillset has seen impressive enhancement in short time.

Elyjah Rebetz, Williston Northampton: Rebetz was a pleasant surprise in our first viewing of the newcomer yesterday as he made plays all over the place. The Swiss wing was arguably the most athletic player in the gym on the day as he showed off his dunking prowess off lobs and off the rip attacking lanes. He has great straight-line speed, made some smart skip passes, and showed he can stretch the floor. Gives Williston another tough match up this winter.

Jayden Cromwell, Salisbury School: The Rochester-based forward continues to standout in our viewings of his game, as has taken steps forward once again. His blend of post touch and footwork stood out as he made shots inside, while also playing tough and finishing with contact around the basket. He plays with a running motor, getting involved wherever he can and makes things happen as a downhill threat off the bounce.

Marchello Rubino Wilbraham & Monson:A postgrad joining Wilbraham & Monson from New Jersey this season, Rubino really stands out with his ability to shoot the ball at different levels. He was able to make his mark as an outside shooting threat who can convert them off the catch. With that threat, he can attack closeouts, which he showed as he popped in for a clean middy pull-up in the middle of the defense.

Cameron Powell-Spruils, Trinity-Pawling: The postgrad is set to be a nice piece for Trinity-Pawling in Class A this season. A point guard, Powell-Spruils attacks defenders with his crafty handling using crossovers and hesitations to get downhill and convert around the basket. He showed some shooting upside as well as a catch and shoot threat.

Amyas Hall-Chiari, Woodstock Academy CT: The newcomer at Woodstock continues to come into his own as a sophomore now and has seen some nice expansion in his game. He's developed a lot athletically and is starting to pose a threat to dunk on drives, while showing some craft in the lane to finish tough lay ups. His shotmaking stood out on stepbacks as well.

Anthony Tallarita, Enfield: Entering his senior season this winter, Tallarita is looking to find a college home. The Enfield native has made a name for himself having played a strong role for the team for years now. Yesterday, he really showed out as a driller from long-range. He made shots from the corner, up to the top, way past the arc. He has quick feet in the lane and is poised for another big year to wrap up his HS career.
