NERR Academic Elite 75 Second-Team

Yesterday, I attended New England Recruiting Report's Elite 75. There were about 60 players in attendance across the classes of 2026-2029. They each competed in live 3v3, shooting drills, and 5v5 play.

Sullivan is only a freshman but is extremely advanced for his age. The 6-foot-1 combo-guard has one of the prettiest shots I've seen in the class of 2029, and he can hit it in the move and after a host of dribble moves. Furthermore, the Andover rising star has really solid vision and a great understanding of off ball movement and angles. Sullivan tells me that he'll stay at Andover for his sophomore year, and his squad should be one of the best in the state with a bunch of solid returning players.     Flemming was one of the Elite 75's leading scorers. The soon-to-be 2028 guard has good stop and go dribble moves and is really effective in the triple threat and as a driver. He needs to figure out a better balance between looking to score and setting up his teammates, but that'll come with time, experience, and playing in the Beaver system. When he actually looks to facilitate, he shows off solid vision and makes me think he can be a really solid point guard and game manager.     Marshall is a super intriguing 6-foot-6 wing/forward who does it all on the basketball floor. He has above-the-rim athleticism and long arms to pair with his size, so he's effective in transition and with a head of steam driving downhill. And though he can get a bit loose with the ball, he's able to handle it and pass it pretty well. Marshall was one of the only 2026 players at the showcase and definitely used his physicality to his advantage, but he has enough intriguing skills for a college to take a chance on him.     Yalamanchili is a project, but a super intriguing one at that. He scored tons of points Monday night by way of his size and length—he's 6-foot-6 with long arms, so he's able to dominate on the boards against younger and smaller high school players. But the junior also showcased the ability to use crafty footwork and ball handling on the perimeter to maneuver his way into the paint, and he had some really solid finishes once he got there. He needs to get a lot stronger and more balanced on his drives to the rim if he wants to be an effective college player, but he has a senior season and a potential post-grad year to do so.     Vincent has an old-man's game, and I love it. The 6-foot-6 forward has a strong upper body and good length, but he pairs it with toughness and decent athleticism, which makes him an effective big. He gets above the rim for dunks but also has better ball handling and passing skills than you'd think given the way he moves, and he can finish with both hands and some contact. For only a sophomore, Vincent is super advanced in his skillset. Bright future ahead for the Hamden Hall Country Day 2028 big.
