HUGE fan of this cat.... @STMChancellors 6'5" wing Ikcaven "KK" Curry, one of the toughest dudes in New England's 2019 class. Electric athlete, great motor, simple outside stroke & showing it all of @NERRHoops Prep Showcase pic.twitter.com/nNtVVUYRPD

Through first 3 games of the day at Prep Showcase 6'9 Jr Tre Mitchell looks like best prospect/Size, strength, decent mobility & excellent low post moves/HM Lock.
— Steve Keller (@SteveKellerNRR) November 17, 2017

2020 Woodstock Academy (CT) F Tre Mitchell has the ideal skill set for a four man. Scoring on the block and showcasing the jumper #NPS
— Brian Flinn (@F150Bflinn) November 17, 2017

Two committed kids who played well today were 6'5 Jules Moor, headed to Stonybrook, & 6'6 Jeameril Wilson headed to Lehigh/Both could have immediate impact next year.
