Continue ReadingThis week’s All Academic Camp attracted a wide range of talent from across New England. The event showcased highly competitive games and attracted nearly every high academic D3 staff in the area. A few prospects stood out in the crowd:
2022 Aidan Camman, Andover HS: Camman is an extremely intriguing prospect. At 6’9, he was able to score with his back to the basket and step out to the perimeter knocking down pick and pop 3s comfortably. He is long, skilled, and a no-brainer for any Ivy that wants to play with a stretch 5.
2022 Trent Mosquera, Belmont Hill: Mosquera made all the right plays for his team. He is an unselfish, high IQ wing with the ability to knock down open shots from 3 and finish around the rim. The jack-of-all-trades holds multiple division II offers.
2022 Ben Chasin, Northfield Mount Hermon: Chasin is a legitimate sniper from behind the arc. With a quick trigger and an efficient stroke, he forces his defender to keep constant tabs on him. In multiple games Chasin was able to get hot sinking 4 or 5 catch and shoot 3s in a row. Defensively, he gets beat off the dribble on the perimeter, however his 6’4 frame helps him blend in on that end of the floor. Chasin also proved he brings all the intangibles consistently supporting teammates and exhibiting passion for competition.
2022 Brendan McNamara Brendan McNamara 5'11" | PG Noble & Greenough School | 2022 New E , Nobles: McNamara is a quick, strong PG. He is undersized, but able to negate some of that disadvantage with his quickness and body control. He showed legitimate passing ability and was able to knock down open 3s. Above all, he was the clear emotional motor of his team. He would be a solid get for any high academic D3 in need of a leader at the PG position.
2022 Ty Higgins Ty Higgins 6'0" | PG Vermont Academy | 2022 State New E , Vermont Academy: Higgins is a highly skilled combo guard. What immediately stands out is his seemingly unlimited range. He will step into twenty five foot spot ups and shoot behind ball screens with the same release as any other shot. In addition to his shooting ability, Higgins showed he had the ability to read a ball screen coming off with his head up and finding the roller or throwing it back to the wing. In transition he was able to find guys for layups. Higgins looks to be under 6’0 and has a slow first step. His size and limited athleticism could keep him from scholarship potential despite the tools he has in his bag.
2023 Jake Peterson, Hanover HS: Peterson played on a different level than his recruitment has shown thus far. The long, 6’4 shooter is light on his feet and has great feel for the game. His silky jumper paired with good size and high IQ make him a potential major stock riser in the class of 23’. In one game Peterson knocked down nine 3s all of which were in rhythm and the right shot for the team.
