Posted Monday, March 26th, 2012

Yesterday up at the Mass Rivals Kickoff Tournament in Northern Mass, we took in an entertaining double-feature; starting with a late-morning matinee in which the Rivals 17s won by a dozen or so over the RI Hawks 17s and culminating with a blow-out victory by the Rivals Freshman over a Middlesex Magic 16u squad.  Here's who impressed. Dimitri Floras - Not too many guys have improved as much as Floras in the past calendar year, and he was pretty darn… READ MORE >

Cassell Comes off the Board

Cassell Comes off the Board

Posted Sunday, March 25th, 2012

Notre Dame Prep senior guard Sam Cassell Jr. was one of the best guards left unsigned in the national class and after accumulating a wide variety of high-major recruitment, he returned to the source of one of his earliest offers. Cassell committed to the University of Maryland on Sunday afternoon, not just returning to one of his earliest scholarship offers, but also returning close to his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. The Terrapins had offered Cassell a scholarship earlier this fall… READ MORE >

Charles Fisher - 6'0 PG - 2016 - Crafty operator who brings size and length to the point guard position.  One of the top ball-handlers and most dangerous dribble-drive attackers at the 75, Fisher flosses a shifty north/south attack in which he'll explosively, yet subtlety, alter the angle of his drive like an angry old man changing lanes on the high-way.  Finishes well at the basket and always carries a pocket full of dimes on his way to the candy… READ MORE >

Jared Neves, St. Paul’s School (NH)-A strong big man with solid post moves and standout athleticism for 6’7, Neves will continue to see more and more recruitment as he uses his strong body to his advantage. Had a couple dunks down low as a result of good movement without the ball.Nate Anderson, New Mission (MA)-When Anderson chooses to play hard, he shows he is as talented as any player in the MIAA.

Quentin Bullen, St. John’s Prep (MA)-Bullen has a quick trigger on his outside shot and he undoubtedly will be a big contributor for Prep next season. His most intriguing quality is his shooting, but Bullen is also a very good ball handler who makes smart decisions with the ball in his hands.Connor Reardon, Pingree (MA)-Reardon is a strong, heady ball player who you can put at pretty much any position on the floor and expect him to succeed. Reardon stood… READ MORE >

Quandarious 'Quan' Roberson - 6'3 F - 2016 - Taunton, MA - Expressions Elite - Beast forward with high-level athletic ability.  He had to leave early, so we didn't get a long look at him compete in the open-scrimmage sessions, but nonetheless, in just going through full-court drills and skill stations, Quan was very impressive at the 75.  Smooth body movement, runs the floor hard, a monster on the boards, and scores the ball with a soft touch around the… READ MORE >

Michael DeMartinis - 6'0 G - 2017 - Burlington, MA - Mass Elite - Very impressive at the 75 going up against a parade of top 2016 back-court Dons throughout the afternoon.  Demart attacks with composure off the dribble-bounce, gauging the spacing on the floor before deciphering whether to confirm the basket attack or to call off the dogs and retreat to the war bunker to concoct another plan of attack for the offensive possession. Shot the ball well from… READ MORE >
