Mark Heber is a post-graduate guard at Woodstock Academy.

The success of the NERR-TV Unsigned Senior Virtual Showcase is undeniable. All 50 prospects in the class of 2020 that participated last spring went on to see recruitment from new schools, with more than 25 generating interest from scholarship level schools.

This has been a year unlike any other, but one of the silver linings at NERR has been the growth of The Upside Podcast and the ways in which we've tried to use that platform over the course of the last year. There were 32 new episodes of The Upside published in 2020. We had former local products and current NBA players like Georges Niang, Duncan Robinson, and Michael Carter-Williams.
