NERR Scout Jared Exler was on hand at the All-Academic Showcase at Babson College.

In case you missed any of the action, here is a rundown from him on some of the Wednesday standouts.

2025 @millbrkmustangs point guard Andre Widmer can hit rolling teammates in tight windows for layups, needs to be accounted for from long-range off the catch, and has good reflexes jumping into passing lanes for steals. pic.twitter.com/mpD08BzHZI

2023 @stsebsbball & @ASAHoopsNation guard Troy McCall brings nice vision as a half-court/transition playmaker, is a threat to hit standstill/pull-up treys, and has a soft floater game in the lane. pic.twitter.com/q3HFo6dTS6

2024 @cm_hoops & @MiddlesexMagic guard Ryan Higgins hits threes well on spot-up attempts, gets to his smooth tear-drop in the paint when attacking closeouts, and creates high percentage layup opportunities with his instincts as a cutter. pic.twitter.com/zjFSAcqI03

Sir William Morman III from Middletown HS & Riverside Hawks Select is a 2024 to monitor moving forward with his physical tools, shooting touch, and flashes of creation off the dribble. pic.twitter.com/P2oqWgusYX

2023 @SASRIBoysHoops & @Metro_Boston big man Patrick Spenard is a solid defensive rebounder with his high motor, hits open shooters well out of the post, and has intriguing upside as a floor spacer. pic.twitter.com/B0prCEQ0fN

2024 @SASRIBoysHoops & @BCRI_ point guard Anthony DeThomas has good vision finding teammates in the half-court on drop-offs/kick-outs, can hit treys off the catch or dribble, in addition to having a soft pull-up in the mid-range. pic.twitter.com/l83MMyH99s

Muneer Ibrahem, a 2024 from @LIB2MBBALL is a crafty point guard who does a nice job balancing scoring and facilitating. Can hit treys off the catch or when pulling up while also finding teammates well for dump-off layups. pic.twitter.com/fMt7G5vVza
