The third part of our best available series focuses on the top wings still on the board in New England’s 2017 class.

They set a simple back-screen for Adams, followed by a subsequent ball-screen which they slipped to…

It has been a relatively long time since a prospect earned a division I scholarship out of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association as the state's top local talent has a way of migrating into the prep ranks. Last week though, Kearsarge Regional High School's 6-foot-9 junior big man Tayler Mattos showed that he may well be on his way to becoming the exception. Mattos, who made his debut in the NERR 2018 rankings just a few weeks ago, has…

Avon Old Farms recently announced a pair of commitments as post-graduate Tyler Washington was accepted to Hamilton College and senior Brandon Arnold to St. Lawrence College. Arnold has been a mainstay of the AOF program in recent years. A Connecticut native, he is a bigger guard with good perimeter size and the strong body to play multiple perimeter positions. He shoots it well off the catch and the dribble and is full of intangibles and leadership tools. Arnold was also…
