Game of the DayThe best game of the day took place during the afternoon session, as a team comprised mostly of Expressions Elite AAU players matched up against a talented group of Canadian players. The game featured incredible athleticism, with several resounding blocks and acrobatic finishes. No one fit in better in such a game than Michael LaPlante, who brought tremendous energy, especially on the defensive end. He also showed yet again that he is more than capable of finishing…

From top to bottom there is something for virtually everyone…that is the plethora of college coaches in attendance. In the first 24 hours of the camp alone the Big East, Atlantic 10, Colonial, Ivy, Patriot, America East, and NEC had all been represented.

Mike Marra: NEPSAC fans will not be surprised to hear that Marra was particularly impressive with his three-point shooting and athleticism on Monday. In one scrimmage he connected from behind the arc on 8 different occasions while also throwing down 3 dunks. While this has become a bit of a norm for Marra, it is quite impressive that he is able to be just as efficient against some of the nation’s best. Givon Crump: At first glance Crump appears to…

While his jumper was failing to drop with his normal regularity, he showed he was the complete package offensively as he was able to score off the dribble, in the…

Harris made his living with his deadly mid-range game, where he was able to pull up off the dribble and connect. Despite his long, rangy frame, Harris was also able to finish tough inside with contact. Also…
