Not much more can be said about the <em>Top 100</em> prospect, who's decision to stay close to home has made plenty of local fans happy. Harrell is a dynamic scorer that can get it done at all three levels and is particularly effective when attacking the defensive with the ball in his hands. He has a terrific frame, dependable athleticism, and continues to add small elements to his game. He's one of the better wing scorers in the class and should be able to continue that at the next level. Defensively, he has the competitiveness and toughness to guard up and down a position and continues to show signs up being a high level defender. <strong><em>Providence</em></strong> gets a terrific recruit in what is shaping up to be a top ranked class and Harrell has a chance to quickly develop into a fan favorite with his intangibles and commitment to winning..</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1532481"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6705ccfe7e9f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hughes announced that he will continue his playing career at <em><strong>Boston University</strong></em>. Coming off a strong travel season with the <em>Middlesex Magic</em>, and a particularly impressive showing at the <em>NEPSAC Showcase</em>, Hughes will look to finish his prep career with a strong final season at <em>Dexter Southfield</em>. He's a big guard that is a dynamic scorer who knows how to get it done at all three levels. He's continued to get stronger and while he's a solid athlete, he's shown a suprising willingness to be physical as a scorer while playing through contact. He can knock down shots from behind the arc and in the mid-range and has recently show the IQ and feel to take over a game in the post when he has an advantageous match-up. Defensively, he's a quality rebounder for his position, knows where he needs to be in team schemes, and does a good job of staying in front of the ball. Hughes adds a talented scorer to <strong><em>BU's</em></strong> class and has the chance to develop into one of the <em>Patriot League's</em> top scorers later in his career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1529119"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6705ccfe7ea36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Langham finalized his college plans with a commitment to <strong><em>Brown University</em></strong>. With a wide-ranging recruitment, Langham found a place that combines high level academic and athletics and gives him a chance to play earlier on. He's a physically imposing wing that can dominate a game in transition. He's comfortable handling the ball in the open floor, is a physical downhill driver, and can finish plays above the rim with authority. He's a willing ball mover, good decision maker, and has consistently improved as a threat from behind the arc. He shines on the defensive end of the floor and has the chance to develop into a stopper on that end of the floor. He can guard multiple position, is an aggressive rebounder, and makes plays off the ball in passing lanes and at the rim. Langham is the type of prospect that has recently had success at <strong><em>Brown</em></strong> and should be able to make an immediate two-way impact on the wing in the <em>Ivy League</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tommy McMahon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Deerfield Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Middlesex Magic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6705ccfe7eac7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMahon put an end to his recruitment when he announced that he will attend <strong><em>St. Lawrence University</em></strong>. A high-academic recruit, McMahon had an impressive summer on the travel circuit with the <em>Middlesex Magic</em> and had strong showings at multiple camps and showcases. He's a talented ball-handler that does a good job of reading the defense and making solid decisions with the ball in his hands. He's a crafty finisher at the rim, can make a variety of passes out of ball screen actions, and is a consistent shooter from behind the arc. Defensively, he does a good job at the point of attack and plays with a solid understanding of team schemes. McMahon adds a dynamic guard to <em><strong>St. Lawrence's</strong></em> class and has the chance to see early time in the always competitive <em>Liberty League</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
