When New England Basketball Services was in the New Hampton gym earlier this year we came away thinking Guy Alang Ntang was a potential high major recruit. Even after going through two hours of conditioning earlier that day Alang Ntang was still knocking down threes, driving to the basket for dunks, and scoring on the block. The only problem was that because he had not played during the July “live” period not many people had heard of him. Those who…

When you scroll down the St. Thomas More roster the names don’t jump out at you like they do at some of the other NEPSAC Class A schools. With the exception of 6’8 junior small forward Devin Ebanks (pictured above) and possibly 6’3 post-graduate shooting guard Justin Sofman, who is committed to Rutgers, even the most passionate high school basketball fans will probably have never heard of too many of these names. That makes this group about par for the…

The Worcester Academy roster is comprised of 3 post graduates, 1 senior, 2 juniors, and 6 sophomores. Granted several of those players have re-classified but even still this is a very young team in comparison to other schools in the league that are dominated by seniors and post-graduates. While Worcester may be short on experience they have a good amount of talent and cohesiveness. Coach Ed Reilly’s biggest challenge this year may be in the front-court where he has 6’8…
