Eyeing the Top Returning Talent in New Hampshire

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2023 rankings recently being released, it's time we take a look at the top talent in each state in New England. These are the players that are heading back to the state to play basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://prephoops.com/new-england/rankings/2023-rankings/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://prephoops.com/new-england/rankings/2023-rankings/">Click here for the full, complete 2023 New England rankings.</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's start with [player_tooltip player_id='1459039' first='JP' last='Estrella'], the Brewster Academy product and Tennessee-bound prospect. Estrella's combination of jump-shooting, shot-blocking and rebounding were pivotal for the Middlesex Magic this past summer. Estrella was the highest-ranked New Hampshire player on the rankings, clocking in at the fourth spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His teammate at Brewster Academy, [player_tooltip player_id='1081853' first='Taylor' last='Bowen'] is heading to Florida State. He was two spots behind Estrella, coming in at sixth overall. Bowen is a wing that has excellent ball-handling skills in transition. He's an elite open floor defender thanks to his fluidity and long strides. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few spots below Estrella and Bowen is Davidson-bound and Phillips Exeter Academy prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1081823' first='Michael' last='Loughnane'] is sitting at twenty-fourth. He's a 3-level scorer and elite facilitator in the half-court. Another Brewster Academy player - [player_tooltip player_id='1081794' first='Sawyer' last='Mayhugh'] - is ranked 102nd, and he's likely to skyrocket up the rankings with another impressive season. He's a great interior rebounder and a go-to finisher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maine-bound [player_tooltip player_id='1081812' first='Logan' last='Carey'] is all the way at thirty-fourth. The St. Paul's player is an athletic two-way guard who is a developing passer. New Hampton's [player_tooltip player_id='1585140' first='Stephan' last='Snagg'] is sixtieth. He's a lengthy wing that brings shot-blocking and finishing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lastly, [player_tooltip player_id='1477892' first='Matt' last='Lamy'] ranks just outside the top-170 at 171st. The St. Paul's School (and Colby-bound) prospect is an excellent 3-point shooter off-the-dribble and off-the-catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While there are much more players in the region that are talented, the players listed have attracted a lot of attention with their skillset. We'll have more state breakdowns coming in the next few days at Prep Hoops New England.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
