Leclerc’s Recruiting Picking Up

Posted Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Sam Leclerc is not a name that too many people outside of New England have heard.  But his game is certainly worth remembering, especially for college coaches looking for a point guard in the class of 2008.  The Maine native shined at last year’s New England Elite 75 Showcase earning himself a place on the camp’s All-Star team.  His ability to see the floor and make his teammates better was especially impressive that day along with his excellent decision making… READ MORE >

A Day Later Rhode Island College Gets the Steal of all Steals

#1 Barry Latham to Bryant – Steal isn’t even the right word for this.  The fact that division II Bryant was able to land the talented swingman over a variety of division I programs will likely pay lasting dividends for Head Coach Max Good and his program as they are bound to sit near the top of the NE-10 standings for the next four years.  Consider this:  Latham is a lefty; he is extremely long and athletic; he has done… READ MORE >
