Prep Profile – Brimmer & May

Posted Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

The Brimmer and May basketball program has been of a victim of their own success in recent years.  A very small day school in Chestnut Hill, they saw tremendous success early in the decade playing against similar sized schools in class D.  But that success eventually came at a price as they eventually had problems scheduling games against willing opponents and were consequently forced to move up to class C where the process only repeated itself two years later with… READ MORE >

Signing Day Arrives

Posted Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

Wednesday marked the first day of the early signed period, a ten day period where verbal commitments become officially binding when prospects sign their National Letters of Intent.  The NLI is a huge document in the recruiting process not just because it makes a player’s commitment legally binding but also because there are only twenty days during the course of the year when they are allowed to be signed.  It isn’t until college coaches receive a signed NLI from a… READ MORE >
