Up next in our series of state association previews is Maine, where we are almost already at the mid-season point. We got a good look at a number of these players earlier this fall at the Maine Open Gym Series and have seen many of those standouts go on to have successful high school seasons thus far. Of all the northern New England states, Maine is the strongest, both in terms of the talent of their top individual players as…

The fourth in a six-part series, our latest state association preview takes us to Rhode Island and the RIIL. The Ocean State has produced some highly talented prospects over the years – from the Murphy brothers to Mike Marra to Ricky Ledo to David Duke and several others along the way – but the vast majority of them depart for the prep schools eventually. This year there are some quality prospects to be found in the local ranks, not to…

The decade has come to a close and so it’s only appropriate that we look back on some of the top prospects to come through New England in the last ten years. Coming up with an All-Decade Team proved to be too hard with the prevalence of the prep schools and so we trimmed it down to true New England natives who spent their entire high school careers in the region. That means you won’t see names like Will "The…

Our third state association profile takes us to Connecticut and the CIAC, which is typically one of New England’s two most talented. This year is no different as there are prospects for all levels of college basketball in the state association ranks, including multiple scholarship caliber candidates in the senior class alone. As a side-note, the CIAC also deserves credit for being the first of New England’s six state associations to commit to hosting an event during the NCAA’s…

After looking at the top prospects in the MIAA over the weekend, today we turn our attention to the NHIAA for the second in a six-part series on the best prospects in the state associations. While all of New England’s six state associations are annually depleted by the local prep ranks, there probably isn’t a state where the disparity between the prep and public ranks is more extreme than New Hampshire. This year is not any different as many of…

With most prep schools now on their holiday break and all six high school state associations at least a week or two into their respective seasons, it’s time to turn our focus to the players in those ranks. First up is the MIAA in Massachusetts where Lynn English is the defending champions in division I but will have plenty of competition from the likes of Lowell, Andover, Cambridge, and Central Catholic in the north while Mansfield, Newton North, Attleboro, and…

The Boston Amatuer Basketball Club will hold their annual Slades Holiday Classic beginning on Friday at Cathedral High School in Boston.

The full weekend schedule can be found below: Friday, December 27th 11:00am Belmont (MA) vs. LaSalle (RI) 12:20pm Tech Boston (MA) vs. Everett…

Nick DeFeo spent the last two years on the coaching staff at Woodstock Academy, where the school was doing some unprecedented within their athletic department, adding a prep program to a high school that competed within the CIAC state association. When Notre Dame High School of West Haven was looking to create a similar blueprint, he was the logical choice to be the prep team’s head coach. Unlike Woodstock though, Notre Dame didn’t have on-campus housing and was limiting their…

New England’s northern most prep program, at least with regard to high level basketball, has been a model of consistency for over a decade. Lee Academy has produced at least one division I scholarship player in 12 of the last 13 graduating classes. That puts them in elite company among New England’s best. This year, they’ve already extended that streak as Mikey West signed with Bethune-Cookman and Aidan Carpenter with Siena before opting to join the program at mid-year. While…

The New England Recruiting Report is once again teaming up with Coaches vs. Cancer to coordinate the second annual NERR Coaches vs. Cancer Suits & Sneakers Challenge. Last year's event had over 25 teams participate and raised over $17,000 collectively. This year our goal is to push those boundaries and help 50 or more schools host their own fundraisers in conjunction with a home basketball game during Suits & Sneakers week (January 20th - 26th). If each school raises just…
