Earle, a rising junior at Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Massachusetts, uses his basketball IQ, feel for the game, high level of skill, and advanced frame to make a two-way impact. At 6’3″ with a stocky frame, Earle has good positional size and does a nice job of playing to his strengths on both ends of the floor. He’s physically strong, and tough, and is capable of playing through contact on the offensive end. He’s a plus shooter from behind the arc, can get downhill off the bounce, and does a nice job of finishing with power at the rim. Defensively, he can guard any perimeter spot and is capable of rebounding in and out of traffic. It’s still early in his recruitment, but plenty of scholarship level programs will be stopping by Wilbraham & Monson this fall to check in on his progress.

Earle has been incredible as of late. The rising junior has pretty special strength and athleticism for a guard of his size/age. Opposing players completely bounce off of him on drives to the paint, and he does an excellent job finishing above the rim once he creates initial space. What impressed me most today, though, was his ability to take and make contested, off-the-dribble threes. His Wilbraham and Monson squad wasn’t able to create great offense, so he took it upon himself to make some of his own. Earle is starting to get some scholarship offers, but more are going to come for him once he’s a rising senior. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him at the high-major level eventually.

Earle was extremely impressive this weekend. After a stern talking to on Saturday from Coach Crotty, the 6-foot-3 (although he might be slightly taller now?) guard responded quite well—he played with more aggressiveness, toughness, and competitive spirit on Sunday and was dominant at times throughout Middlesex Magic’s final run. He has elite level strength for his size and completely shucks off defenders on his way to the hoop, and then he showcases some really excellent finishing instincts, body control, and touch with both hands at the rim. The Wilbraham and Monson sophomore can also hit shots from three and has the mechanics to be a big time flamethrower if he can get a bit more consistent. Earle is a future division one player and has as much upside as anyone on this Magic 16u UAA squad in my opinion. To say I’m high on him would be an understatement.

Earle, a guard out of Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Massachusetts, ranks #2 among the shooting guards and checks in at #11 overall in this update. The 6’3″ guard has a physically advanced build, plays with a lot of skill, and has proven to be a multi-level scorer. He makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, is capable of knocking down shots from behind the arc, and can really get out and finish around the rim in transition. Defensively, he can guard any spot on the perimeter, knows where to be in rotations, and does a nice job of rebounding from the guard spot. Earle will be playing his travel ball with the Middlesex Magic.

Earle was fantastic in a loss against NMH Saturday night. The 6-foot-3 rising sophomore consistently used his STRONG body to bully older and larger players around in the paint and then finish with great touch off the glass. He was virtually able to get to the rim whenever he wanted, and you would’ve thought he was a postgrad senior given the strength and body control he displayed. And in this big time performance, he didn’t even showcase his outside shooting ability. He is going to be so good for years to come — one of the best 2028’s I saw the entire weekend.
