When a player makes a verbal commitment he is essentially giving his word, but when he signs his National Letter of Intent, he is basically signing a legal document. The former isn’t too hard to get out of, the latter very difficult. Consequently, Wednesday is a very big day for schools and recruits across the country. It is the first day of the fall signing period that will last for ten days and the first opportunity for players in the…

Peter McMillan is headed to Cornell. The California native committed on Monday, less than 24 hours after returning from an official visit to the defending Ivy League champions. “I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to Cornell,” he said. “My visit couldn’t have gone better. Everything about it was a great fit. When I was watching their practice, I could definitely see myself thriving in their system.” NMH head coach John Carroll was quick to echo his forward’s…

The drive to Proctor Academy is a long trip to the north. If you take route 91 through Vermont you may even think you’re headed to Canada. And while Proctor Academy isn’t quite that far north, there is a distinctive Canadian feel to this team. Stephen Alli, Taevaunn Prince, R.J. Stephens, and Pat Donnelly are four newcomers who all come to Proctor by way of Canada. The foursome joins local post-graduate Mike Stys and a young sophomore in Ian Baker…

Hamilton Adds Another ShooterLast year Hamilton College head coach Tobin Anderson came into New England and scooped up two of our best shooters in Ephraim McDowell and Russ Rosenband. This year he’s already added another in Eric Benvenuti. And while Benvenuti can no doubt stroke the ball from the perimeter, he has a complete skill set that allows him to score points in a variety of different ways. Combine that with his 6’6” frame at the small forward position and…

The St. Andrew’s basketball program is one of the most storied in all of New England. Mike Hart’s squad has won six NEPSAC class B titles including back to back championships in 2006 and 2007. But last season, St. Andrew’s failed to advance to the post-season tournament for the first time in recent memory. Between that, and the fact that they were losing two scholarship players in Mike Culpo and Brian Hanuschak, and Coach Hart knew his roster was in…

Bridgton Academy is likely to find themselves right in the thick of the NEPSAC class A race this year and a big reason will be the presence of Carl Blair on the perimeter. The 6’2” guard is extremely versatile and should be one of Whit Lesure’s better playmakers this season. With a strong body, good ball skills, and excellent body control Blair is very adept at getting into the lane and making plays for himself and his teammates. He thrives…

In order to win the Class B tournament Marianapolis Prep will have to be able to beat the Tilton School and their three headed monster of Alex Oriakhi, Jamal Coombs, and Gerard Coleman.

With the additions of 6’7” big man Noel Jones, 6’6” forward Josh Vital, and 6’1” guard…

Cushing Academy was one of the best team’s in class B last year. After a tremendously successful regular season, they advanced to the semi-finals of the conference tournament before falling in a hard fought battle. Despite the disappointment of ending their season in a close game, there was still plenty to be excited about as they would return one of the nation’s top point guards in Phil Pressey….that is until early this summer when Pressey decided to transfer to a…
