Welcome to the Prep Hoops Circuit!
Basketball fans will recognize the head coach of this team. Former college coach, Joe Kittell is back in the saddle and coaching hoops again. His most recent coaching gig was at the University of Mary and now he will be back on the grassroots scene. This time he will be coaching instead of scouting players.
One interesting thing about Joe Kittell being back with ECI is the fact that he used to be the owner and Director of ECI back in the day!
This roster has some serious talent and I can not wait to see them come together as a team. There are some serious college prospects on this roster. Selfishly, I am even more excited because I will get to see them play live at 4 events over the course of the club season.
Take a look below for the ECI 15U Prospect roster, team comments, and the schedule

Player Comments from Coach Joe Kittell
“Garrett is a big guard who is a natural ball handler and scorer. He had the opportunity to play JV and practice with the varsity all season for Century and that experience will be very important for us.“
“Cam is a strong physical guard that is a true QB on the floor. Getting great experience practicing with Davies varsity this year, we are really counting on him to matchup against opponents most physical perimeter players.“
“Christian had outstanding varsity year for St. Mary’s. He was one of the Saint’s leading scorers and will be one of the WDA top returning varsity scorers next season. Christian has worked very hard on getting stronger and I know is committed to becoming the best all around player he can be.“
“One of the most electric scorers for his age group Carter brings a pure passion and energy to the basketball floor. Carter got a taste of top competition playing some varsity minutes for Horace this year and he will not back down to anyone.“
“One of the real stars of the ECI tryout Dylan play plays with a toughness and chip on his shoulder that will be a real asset to this team. Dylan is a true all around player that will be do whatever it takes to win.“
“Talented lefty guard that can really get to rim. He has a high ceiling and we are really going to need him to play bigger than he is when it comes to defending and rebounding for us to have success.“
Highlights
“Braylon has a great skill set for his size and will be the teams true big wing. Braylon has really improved his ability to the stretch the floor from three and will fill the stat sheet with his ability to defend, pass, and rebound.“
Highlights
“A true power forward with the ability to guard bigger players. Zavion has the potential to be a true star of this class. He has great athleticism, length, and will be able take his defender out to 15 feet as well as finish around the rim.“
Highlights
“Collin is a physical and athletic forward that will be responsible to do a majority of the dirty work for this team. Collin plays with a great motor and has the strength to match up with anyone in the post and gather rebounds at a high rate.“
Team Comments from Joe Kittell
“Very excited to coach this group. We won’t have a true post player but we do have some very skilled four men that will be matchup problems for many true bigs. I expect our guard play and shot-making to be what really drives this team and hopefully, we can buy into playing good defense, rebounding, and sharing the basketball.“SCHEDULE
