We’ve made no secret of the fact that we believe Greg Newton is one of the more underrated guards in New England. Anyone who saw him play this summer can attest to the fact that this guy can flat out make plays – he gets to the rim, sees the floor, and makes others around him better. Newton’s career began at Barrington High School in Rhode Island, where the guard put up solid numbers throughout his first three seasons. Following…

New Hampshire native Aziz Dieng and Cameron Bell from California recently made their respective college decisions. Dieng a 6’3” forward will head to Brandeis University in Massachusetts while Bell will play at Kenyon College in Ohio. “I liked Brandeis because it had the perfect fit of academics and athletics. They are top 30 academically and top 15 in the country for D3 basketball on a consistent basis,” Dieng said. “My parents stressed the importance of academics. My father is from…

Winchendon’s post-graduate center Adam Kemp ended his recruitment on Monday afternoon when he made a verbal commitment to Marist College and head coach Chuck Martin. The Red Foxes had been actively recruiting the big man since this summer and when they finally extended a scholarship offer it didn’t take Kemp long to make up his mind. “I started talking to Marist last year during my senior year of high school,” Kemp explained. “When I got to Winchendon a couple of…

When you’re the number one player in the country, it’s a pretty safe assumption that you’re the number one player in your home state so with Andre Drummond locked in at the top spot, it’s now a race for number two. Our early choice for the second ranked player in the state is the Hotchkiss School’s newly arrived sniper, Clyde Smith. The Texas native has made a quick impact since arriving in the Nutmeg state. He’s silky smooth and as…

Coming into the season there was little doubt that Chris Braley was the top player in Maine’s class of 2012, and the numbers he’s put up thus far this season have only further cemented his position at the head of the pack as this guy seems to be a virtual 20/10 machine in terms of points and rebounds…or more like 25/12. While Braley projects as a swingman at the next level where his size, shooting touch, feel for the game,…

When you make a mistake the honorable thing to do is admit when you’re wrong…and we will go on record as saying we were sleeping on Georges Niang at the beginning of the year. The six-foot-seven forward has put up some major numbers this season and emerged as a more than capable Robin to Gerard Coleman’s Batman. Niang has a throwback low post game, consistent three-point range on his jumper, and also rebounds the ball in high volume. If we…

There is a new top five in Vermont’s class of 2012, although the top ranked player remains the same. Mill River’s Harrison Taggart remains the top overall prospect in the sophomore class. At six-foot-four Taggart can play four different positions at the high school level but projects as a swingman in college where his length and rapidly developing skill set will prove invaluable. Not only does Taggart have the physical tools and hard earned basketball skills to be productive, but…

The race for the top spot in Rhode Island’s class of 2012 isn’t a very close one, and neither is the race for number two, as Ricardo Ledo and Andrew Chrabascz have a firm grip on the top two spots respectively. Ledo hasn’t missed a beat since transferring into St. Andrew’s and joining the highly competitive NEPSAC. In fact, when Michael Carter-Williams went down in the team’s opening game of the season, Ledo stepped up and carried the offense for…
