Kevin Crescenzi, a six-foot-three post-graduate swingman from the Tilton School, committed to Dartmouth today. Crescenzi is a Florida native who starred at this summer's Hoop Mountain All-Academic Camp and continued to grow his recruitment upon arriving at Tilton this fall, landing more than one division I scholarship offer. Crescenzi took an official visit to Dartmouth this weekend, and committed less than 48 hours later on mid-day Tuesday. A shot-maker with range that extends well beyond the three-point line, he also boasts…

The Lee Academy post-graduate basketball program operates in two very distinct worlds. First and foremost, they are a New England based prep school, with one of the more talent laden teams in the region. However, they are not a member of the NEPSAC. That means that while Lee will annually lock up with many of the region’s best during the regular season, they aren’t governed by the same set of rules and aren’t eligible for the same post-season tournament. …

Can anyone beat Tilton? That is once again the question as another season in class AA of the NEPSAC is set to begin. After four straight New England titles, the Rams return their five man core from last season’s championship team. But New England titles aren’t the loan goal at Tilton anymore. Since Alex Oriakhi, Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, and Gerard Coleman led the team on a Cinderella run to the 2009 National Prep Championship, they set a new standard of excellence,…

Murphy grew up in Saginaw and has longstanding relationships with…

Conventional wisdom was wrong. After taking on all comers…
