Stand Outs: Andre Drummond, PF/C, 6'9", CBC Drummond turned heads on Sunday with his huge frame and dominance inside. Unlike most raw prospects his age, he had a lot of meat on his bones to go along with an obscenely unfair wingspan that allowed him to scoop up any rebound that came even close to him.

Did well rebounding in his area as once he got in front of his opponent the ball was his. Faced players more athletic than him, but did well when given touches. Robert Alers, RI Hawks: Played very well in the first game…

A week ago very few college basketball coaches had ever heard the names Jason Pranulis or Connor Boyen. In fact, with the exception of Keene State, Babson College, and Wentworth Institute of Technology, no other schools had expressed any interest in either player. All of that changed this weekend after both players had breakout performances at the Hoop Mountain Invitational with their Western Connecticut Warriors AAU club. “For a bunch of small town kids like ours, they often go under…
