With good result after good result the Connecticut Knights have certainly been one of the biggest, and best, surprises of this spring’s grassroots circuit thus far. It began in Middletown at the Basketbull New England Qualifier when the Knights scored an upset over Expressions Elite in pool play and went on to the semi-finals of the gold bracket.  A week later the Knights announced their presence on an even bigger stage as they advanced to another gold semi-final, this time… READ MORE >

Posted Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Boston College landed a verbal commitment from six-foot-six swingman Eddie Odio on Thursday.  Odio joins Milton Academy big man Dennis Clifford in the Eagles' 2011 class.  Like Clifford, Odio seems to be a perfect fit for the offensive system that Donahue ran at Cornell, helping the team advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.  ESPN's Scouts Inc. describes Odio as "a shooter who displays very good bounce" while calling him "a very smart player with a great feel… READ MORE >

Bridgton Guard Heading to Northeastern

Posted Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Northeastern head coach Bill Coen has made a career out of out-evaluating people on the recruiting trail and his latest commitment is just the most recent example in our opinion as Bridgton Academy guard Alex Harris has committed to the Huskies.  Harris had the reputation of being a streaky player when he arrived in Maine this fall from his home in California.  But what he has showed in the eight months since has been anything but inconsistent.  In fact, he… READ MORE >
