Posted Monday, August 12th, 2019

For the last 11 years the Elite 75 Frosh/Soph Edition has featured the very best underclassmen in all of New England.  What started as a showcase for roughly 100 young prospects in 2008 has since grown into the largest one-day showcase in the entire northeast region with over 300 players in three of the last four years.  Bigger is not always better though.  While having 300 kids across 8 courts was definitely the only event to put all of the… READ MORE >

Posted Friday, August 9th, 2019

The summer recruiting period has come to an end and while this year’s schedule was very different due to the NCAA calendar, there were still plenty of prospects who managed to completely change their recruitment over the course of the last few months. Stock-risers, by their definition, aren’t necessarily the most highly recruited prospects in the class (although some of them now are), but they are the prospects who have played their way into significantly higher recruitment than they previously had.
