Notre Dame Prep and Worcester Academy will face off tomorrow afternoon to decide the championship of the 13th Annual Holiday Classic. Both teams were tested on Friday. In fact, they were each forced to go to overtime in one of their games. Worcester opened play against Bridgton Academy. The team from the north was holding on to a slim lead late in the second half until Austin Carroll rattled off five straight points by knocking down a three from the…

Why do you include prep school players in your rankings? That is the question we get perhaps more than any other. Our answer is always the same…because that’s what a college coach will do. You can bet that no college coach who recruits New England is going to ignore the prep schools. Consequently comparing or ranking players in this region without including those who go to prep schools is not only unpractical but is misleading. However, one of the stated…

There are no big surprises in the class of 2008 as John Riek, Devin Ebanks, and Emmanuel Negedu are firmly locked into the top three spots. Terrence Jennings and Isaiah Thomas round out the top five, followed by Kimmie English, Anthony Crater, Melquan Bolding, David Gibbs, and Allan Chaney. It is interesting to note that many of the top ranked players are off the board. In fact, Riek (who is widely expected to head straight to the NBA), #15 Twany…

While the class of 2008 has some good depth, 2009 and 2010 have the star power with the likes of Candon Rusin and Joe O’Shea respectively. Both players are skilled shooting guards who appear well on there way to earning scholarships. In the class of 2008 the race is almost too close to call. We went with D.J. Campbell in the top spot. While there may be players who will have bigger seasons this year, we believe that Campbell provides…

Emmanuel Negedu continues to be the top prospect in the state of New Hampshire. Not only is the Arizona bound big man one of the most physically dominant players in the country, but now he also boasts a much improved skill set thanks to all of the work that has gone on in the Brewster Academy gymnasium. Second ranked Anthony Crater may not wow you at first glance but keep watching and you’ll realize why he is so special, as…

Mike Culpo has emerged as the clear choice for the #1 ranking in the class of 2008. His St. Andrew’s teammate Brian Hanuschak has also jumped up a couple of spots to grab the #2 spot, while Jerell Gomes and Adalberto Bueno come in at three and four. After his big summer and equally impressive fall Jeff Holmes has taken the fifth spot and may be poised to continue his climb up the list. Nyheem Sanders' potential still dictates his…

John Riek still holds the top spot in 2008. While the 7’2” center has been in and out of the line-up after suffering a knee injury, it is hard to argue that there is a better overall prospect than the player who could be a lottery pick in next year’s NBA draft. Three Notre Dame Prep players (Terrence Jennings, Kimmie English, and Melquan Bolding) hold spots two through four. While Jennings and Bolding were both big names who were already…

Lee Academy point guard Nate Tomlinson is the best college prospect in the state of Maine (in our opinion), and there doesn’t look to be anyone close to catching him. While the Australian native has yet to play his best basketball so far this season, his value is undeniable as he is a pure point guard who makes those around him better. Scout.com’s National Recruiting Director Dave Telep may have said it best when he noted Tomlinson’s unique presence at…

A variety of new prospects are competing in Connecticut this year, but no one is yet close to knocking the king from his throne as Devin Ebanks remains the state’s unquestioned top talent in the class of 2008. The top five is rounded out by South Kent’s Isaiah Thomas, Master’s David Gibbs, New London’s Allan Chaney, and South Kent’s Assane Sene. Some top newcomers include: Branden Doughty, Quasim Pugh, and Eric Waterford (St. Thomas More); Kyle Mayers, Stephen O’Reilly, and…
