Prep Hoop Hall Standouts (Part 3)

While most eyes were on Hoop Hall at Springfield College with some of the top high school teams in the country, there was another event just down the road that had the best post grad teams in the country. With over 30 teams and hundreds of college coaches in attendance, the Hoop Hall Prep Showcase had tons of talent from all over the country and is always one of the top events in the country.   Here's a look at part three of the standouts from the New England schools in attendance.   [player_tooltip player_id='2313084' first='Ben' last='Bradford'] | 6'4” CG | Loomis Chaffee 2024   Loomis had one of the best games I saw throughout the event with their double overtime win over rival Milton, and Bradford was huge for them throughout the game. The 6'4” senior guard was great across the board as he played over 40 minutes and committed no fouls while playing good defense, he made shots from multiple levels and got to the line often and he made plays for others off the bounce as well. He finished with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals in the win.   [player_tooltip player_id='1532438' first='Charlie' last='O'Sullivan'] | 6'9” PF | Loomis Chaffee 2025   O'Sullivan made a name for himself as he helped Loomis beat a Milton team with four division one commits and should have more division ones after him who watched that performance. The 6'9” forward was lights out showing his inside-out ability and his ability to stretch the floor, he banged in the paint defensively and finished at the rim and he ran the floor hard and got buckets in transition too. He finished with 34 points going 10-for-14 from the field and 7-for-9 from deep and pitched in 7 rebounds in the win.   [player_tooltip player_id='1489278' first='Luka' last='Toews'] | 6'2” PG | Newman School 2024   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/tempImageArP2y9.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/tempImageArP2y9.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2331990" /></a></figure>   Toews was fantastic for Newman in their two big wins over nationally ranked programs, and the Boston College commit was the one who stirred the drink for them throughout the event. He's one of the most fun guards to watch in New England as he has a flair to him with a shifty handle and flashy passes, he can create shots for himself by creating space from multiple levels and he sets the tone defensively too. He finished with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in a win over Combine and had 24 points and 6 rebounds in their win over New Hampton.   [player_tooltip player_id='1586725' first='Ryan' last='Mela'] | 6'6” WF | Newman School 2024   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/tempImagea6PCpo.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/tempImagea6PCpo.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2331991" /></a></figure>   Providence got themselves a good one in Mela as Coach Waiters will absolutely love his blend of shooting, physicality and all-around skill he uses to get the job done on both ends of the floor. The 6'6” wing is a dead eye shooter both off the catch and showed the ability to create space and make shots from deep late in the shot clock, he got downhill and used his physicality to finish at the rim or get to the line and he rebounded well too. He finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds in their win over New Hampton and 13 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in their win over Combine.   [player_tooltip player_id='2312422' first='Hudson' last='Geremia'] | 6'5” WG | Newman School 2024   Geremia showed he's one of the top available players in the New England area, as he shot the absolute cover off the ball and was huge for Newman as a third and fourth option that played off the other talented players well. The 6'5” wing showed great confidence in his ability to let it fly, he has great mechanics with a quick release and effortless range and he brought fantastic energy throughout the event. He finished with 18 points going 6-for-8 from deep in their win over New Hampton.   Collins Onyejiaka | 6'9” C | Newman School 2026   Onyejiaka may only be a sophomore playing against fifth year players, but that didn't stop him from being super dominant and showing his high major potential moving forward. He has all the tools you look for in a new age big man as he's strong enough to bang and guard in the paint, mobile enough to get up and down the floor, he's a quick twitch post player and he's explosive and long allowing him to play above the rim and protect the rim. He finished with 21 points going 10-for-14 from the field, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks in their win over Combine.
