Rising Senior Spotlight - Kris Laing

Posted Wednesday, July 15th, 2020

Kris Laing first came on the NERR radar in October of 2018 when he took part in the Elite 75 Frosh/Soph, when he showed some intriguing raw tools.  Roughly a year later, when he returned for the Connecticut Open Gym, we found a brand new player.  He had grown, filled out physical, diversified his game, and showed the tool-set of a scholarship level prospect.  Now, with his junior season at Bridgeport Prep behind him, Laing has high hopes for his… READ MORE >

Introducing the “Be Seen Tour”

Posted Tuesday, July 14th, 2020

There was no spring recruiting period. The NCAA has already cancelled summer recruiting and fall recruiting may not happen either.  Even as teams are gradually starting to get back on the court in the northeast, it has still never been harder to get exposure as college coaches are still shut down.  Without being able to go on the road, college coaches are relying on two things right now to do their recruiting - video and scouting services.  With that in… READ MORE >

Rising Senior Spotlight – Tommy Lorenzetti

Posted Tuesday, July 14th, 2020

Like many point guards, Tommy Lorenzetti's impact couldn't be measured by statistics last year. His impact on winning though was undeniable as his unselfishness and reliability on both ends of the floor where invaluable for St. Paul's.  His role should change next year though as St. Paul's graduates four seniors and will need Lorenzetti to not just be the floor general like he was this year, but also a consistent playmaker.  That's a role he's been preparing for in recent… READ MORE >

Brimmer & May and Mass Rivals 2021 forward Gianni Thompson announced his commitment to Boston College on Sunday.  His pledge means that he will be staying close to home, as Brimmer & May is located within a mile from BC's campus.  It also means he'll be reunited with a trio of former teammates as he is the fourth Rivals product to commit to the Eagles within the last 18 months following Makai Ashton-Langford (who transferred from Providence), DeMarr Langford, and… READ MORE >

A Long Talk on The Upside Podcast

Posted Sunday, July 12th, 2020

Team Takeover is a Nike sponsored grassroots program in the DMV area.  Last week, they hosted just under 100 college coaches for a virtual seminar entitled A Long Talk with Team Takeover. The program lasted for three days and included three-hours of "pre-work" including two documentaries, and a series of articles.  It was a significant commitment for college coaches to undertake and a virtually unprecedented initiative - for a grassroots program to be educating college coaches.  But that's exactly what… READ MORE >

Kostmayer Commits to Bryant

Posted Friday, July 10th, 2020

Gould Academy and NE6 big man Kai Kostmayer made a verbal commitment to Bryant on Friday.  Kostmayer played his high school basketball at Taft before heading to Gould for a post-graduate year.  He first made a name for himself in recruiting circles last spring when he debuted with NE6 and immediately impressed with his combination of size, skill, and athleticism.  He went on to see recruitment from various levels of division I basketball over the course of the last fifteen… READ MORE >

Goldin Signs with Texas Tech

Posted Friday, July 10th, 2020

What had been rumored for months became official earlier this week when Putnam Science Academy big man Vlad Goldin signed with Texas Tech.  The seven-footer arrived from Russia last fall and showed flashes of brilliance during the course of the season.  He ended up playing a key role for a Putnam Science team that went on to capture a share of the National Prep Championship.  Goldin is the 11th member of PSA's 2020 class to earn a full athletic scholarship. … READ MORE >

Rising Senior Spotlight - Tom Vassil

Posted Friday, July 10th, 2020

Tom Vassil's high school career at Whitman-Hanson wrapped up with an MIAA state championship this year as WH took the D2 title.  While Vassil's stats, may have been modest this year, his impact was not, as his size was a constant game changer on both ends of the floor.  While he's made consistent and obvious strides over the years, Vassil is still new to the game and just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. He's also under-recruited, with… READ MORE >

Rising Senior Spotlight - Cole Bryant

Posted Wednesday, July 8th, 2020

Every coach out there wants to advocate for their kids, but not every coach has the same credibility when they do it. Tony Newsom's is second to none. So when he says he believes Cole Bryant is a division I prospect, we pay attention, and college coaches should too.  He said the same thing about Jonas Harper a couple of years ago. Just one school listened and they won the Patriot League this spring with Harper playing a key role. … READ MORE >
