Over the course of the last week we have rolled out our updated 2018 rankings, first in all six states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont), then in New England as a whole. Finally, we published an entirely different list altogether in Mike Yagmin's latest Yags' Point Forward column. Ultimately, the purpose of the exercise is twofold. First, right or wrong, the recruiting world loves rankings and so there are two choices - leave the only opinion out…

Editor's Note - Last week when we updated our 2018 rankings we provided our typical caveat - a reminder that rankings are always subjective. That is, they are always just a matter of opinion which can be formed based on a variety of variables. As we've said many times in the past, any ranking that isn't educated (do they have the experience to legitimize their opinion?), informed (have they seen all of the players enough to make an informed projection?)…

We're now just three weeks away from both the Junior Elite 75 Showcase as well as the Elite 75 Academic Experience, which both offer unparalleled exposure and education, but to very different age groups. The Elite 75 Academic Experience, which will take place in the first half of the day, is designed for high school students who strive to play college basketball at a high academic college or university.

With the release of updated rankings in Connecticut's 2018 class we have now updated all six states in region with our collective New England rankings due out on Monday. While there isn't necessarily the same level of star power as there has been in previous years, or even in other states this year, Connecticut has unmatched depth when it comes to the sheer quantity of scholarship caliber prospects in their senior class. In total we ranked 40 players in the…

Up next in our series of updated 2018 rankings is the state of Massachusetts where local products David Duke, A.J. Reeves, Nate Laszewski, and Cormac Ryan have been constants in national rankings over the years. While there has been some reshuffling among the local quartet in recent months the bottom line is the same as it has always been, all four are consensus top 100 national prospects who should have very strong college careers. Duke probably has the highest upside…

New Hampshire is a state where the talent is typically dominated by the local prep ranks and this year is no different as Brewster Academy, Tilton School, New Hampton School, Kimball Union Academy, Holderness School, and Proctor Academy continue to drive the vast majority of college coaches into the state. That isn't the only theme of the 2018 rankings inside the Granite State though. No matter how you slice it, this is a group that is going to cause some…

Our updated 2018 rankings take us to the state of Rhode Island today where Cole Swider continues to separate himself from the rest of the class. The Villanova pledge is one of the most potent scoring forwards in the entire country. He's a pure shooter from behind the arc but a versatile scoring threat who has the ability to attack close-outs, an assortment of pull-ups and floaters inside the arc, and athleticism at the rim in the open floor. While…

It's been long overdue but we're beginning the process of updating our New England rankings. Up first is the class of 2018 where the states of Maine and Vermont have already been updated. In Maine, a talented senior class in the local ranks has now been supplemented by this year's crop of incoming prep products. Bridgton Academy's Fardaws Aimaq and Gould Academy's Stephane Ingo sit in the top two spots followed closely by Portland High School's Terion Moss. Lee Academy…
