Bored and the other thread the title has 2 guys in who are either gone or will be after the next year or so but also it has turned into something different (AJ was wrong!! haha), also UVM fans havent make a new thread in a while to piss off everyone else and we need to do this everyone, unite! anyway old thread for reference: http://www.basketballforum.com/amer...13-vermont-hs-prospects-v-cobzaru-k-gray.html
Actually had a convo with my friend who is in the HS scene coaching just discussing a few things he gave me a few names to watch outside who we know. Of course many of these guys likely won't amount to any sort of UVM material but never know. Just look at the old thread. "some 6-5 kid from North Country" that nobody had heard of ended up becoming the best player in the state.
Here my take using some of friend's input:
2016
Ben Shungu, Rice - Big year for him. Still believe he could earn a scholarship somewhere or at least get a walk on opportunity. He'll be man at Rice and probably be fine go for a 3-peat.
James Wells, Worcester Academy - apparent Canisius offer. No idea how he developing because he is prepping and plays on competitive team. Will be interesting how year goes for him. Part of me wonders could he be guy that has Clancy trajectory?
Tinga Adiang, Vermont Academy - getting NESCAC looks likely ends up at that type of school.
Eli DeGrande, Essex - 6-6 athlete, skill, frame but now would say he's second-best state player at HS level not prep probably D3 also QB of football team.
Perry DeLorenzo, Exeter - good shooter mom is Midd field hockey coach. Sounds like academic D3 route being taken.
2017
Kendrick Gray, Vermont Academy - matter of what level D1 he go. Should use prep to improve defense because he did none of it at Rice and would let VT kids go by him sometimes or Rice just put him on the block needs to guard guards now. Still say going power conference not good fit for him but could compete level down from that and at mid level he'd be fine. Not UVM for various reasons discussed.
2018
Kevin Garrison, Burlington - Nice looking player pretty good athlete. One to watch.
Elliot Nelson, Rice - Honeslty dont remember him but friend said he's good, so I trust him.
Friend mentioned some kid from Essex who is going to be a rising freshman this year, already 5-11/6ft dont remember the name though that and also who the hell knows how a kid adjust from middle to high school.
