We've already introduced you to Aidan Horan, but he isn't the only division I prospect headed to Avon Old Farms for a post-graduate year in 2020-21. Omari Salvi is a 6-foot-5 wing who just graduated from the Bullis School in Maryland. He already has interest from the likes of CCSU, VMI, Mount St. Mary's, Georgia State, and Texas A&M CC among others, and is coming to play for Matt Mihalich to prove he belongs at that D1 level. Don't expect…

Yesterday, we broke down the top prospects on Rise Above Basketball’s u17 team, today comes the release of the video trailer produced by Hoop Major. In it, you will find the video representation of exactly what we broke down yesterday, the top team for one of New England’s fastest growing programs. You will see why Sam Stevens and Matt Boen are clear scholarship level prospects, why prospects like Nick Johnson and maybe even Steven White and Tyler Stewart are knocking…

Rise Above Basketball has been one of the fastest growing programs in New England in recent years. Started in 2012 as a youth program, RAB didn’t have their first high school program until five years later with their first graduating class finishing up in 2019. In the two years since, they’ve sent over 25 players on to play at the college level with potentially as many as 25 more on the way as part of the class of 2021. Last…

Yesterday, we broke down the u17 roster for the Basketball Club of Rhode Island. Today you get to see for yourself thanks to the latest movie trailer from Hoop Major as part of the Be Seen Tour. What you, and college coaches, will see is a team full of prospects who will all play at the college level. Parker Mason, Jake Bender, and Jawarie Hamelin may be the prospects trending with scholarship level coaches so far but Mike Levesque, Ethan…

The Be Seen Tour brought us back to the state of Rhode Island last week to check out BCRI, an emerging program in the state whose u17 team features prospects for D1, D2, and D3 college coaches this year. Collectively, the group is exactly what we had in mind when we designed the tour. While everyone is lacking normal exposure opportunities this year, college coaches are understandably focused on the programs and prospects they already know. Meaning, while it’s hard…

This was going to be a big year for Anthony Clayton as he was going to have the opportunity to play, and prove himself, against the best competition possible, both in the prep and grassroots ranks. It began in the NEPSAC, where he transferred into Avon Old Farms to run Matt Mihalich's team. This spring and summer, Clayton's long tenure with the City Rocks program was going to culminate with a spot on the roster of their EYBL team. Of…

Yesterday, we profiled the players in the New York Lightning Select’s 2021 class. The roster features a pair of prospects in the class of 2022 as well though in Peter Carey and Tommy Mooney. As we said yesterday, Carey just might be the biggest sleeper in all of New England, but that certainly won’t last. It takes about two minutes to see the size, fluidity, and athleticism that make him a very rare long-term prospect. The comparisons to a young…

There are lots of sneaker sponsored grassroots programs that have multiple teams, but let’s be clear about something, the New York Lightning Select program is no one’s “B team.” In fact, when we watched them workout last week, we found ourselves asking the same question repeatedly, “isn’t that guy good enough to play for the EYBL team?” The first and most obvious example was Peter Carey, who might just be the best kept secret in New England. It won’t stay…

On Monday, we profiled Rhode Island Elite’s u17 team, and while it is an undeniably talented group with multiple scholarship prospects, the reality is that the program’s u16 team is even deeper and more talented. The best prospect in the gym was undoubtedly Isaiah Miranda. A 7-footer in the class of 2023 who spent last season at the Phelps School in Pennsylvania after not getting varsity minutes in Rhode Island the year prior. Miranda is still extremely raw and only…
