Recruiting Stories

Friday November 1st provided another opportunity for NYG Hoops & Carolina Girls Hoops Report to bring together 76 of the Top Middle School players in NC/SC/VA in the same Gym to compete at a high level.   The 2nd Annual Friday Night Lights - Middle School Open Run event held in Charlotte proved to be a showcase for future High School & Collegiate players. I will be highlighting the 2024 Class in this recap & will be following up with an additional recap of the 2025 - 2026 Group that will be the future of this event…

October 13 in the New England area created a great opportunity for John McGraw & his Insiderexposure staff to host the 2nd Annual - New England Exposure Showcase at Massasoit Community College.  I attended the event that hosted 70+ players from MA, RI, NH, CT, NY & PA

Chicago, IL- Another weekend on the road for NYGHoopsReport to the ‘We Got Next’ All-American Camp in Chicago. The two-day event accommodated 50 plus prospects, from Il, OK, WI, MO, and IN. 

Bluestar Basketball returned to Charlotte on October 12 to view the talent that the Carolinas has to offer in the 2024 - 2027 Classes in the Rising Bluestar group and also the 2020 - 2023 classes in the Bluestar combine.  I attended the event and was able to put together a list of the players that I believe competed well throughout the day.

Greenwich, CT - Over the past decade, the top 10, All American Camp has served as the stage for talented young basketball players. This past weekend, NYGHoops Report got a chance to witness this event firsthand at Greenwich Country Day School. There were 40 plus athletes from NY, NJ & CT, from the classes of 2021- 2026. Here are some of the athletes that caught my eye at the event this past Saturday.   

Watervliet, NY – This past Saturday, NYGHoops Report was on hand for the 2nd, Girls NYS top 24 event. While the NYS Top 24 is well established on the boy’s end; the City Rocks organizations have made huge strides in only two years on the girl’s side. The two-day event hosted prospects from the 2021-2025 classes. 

Bronx, NY – Last weekend NYGHoops Report hosted its 4th NYG Fall Northeast Super 64 Skills and Evaluation Camp. While this event has become a staple in the June pre-evaluation period, this was the first fall edition. The one-day events was a huge success, with prospects attending from NY, NJ, CT, PA, MD, NC, and MA.

LBI-NC held there annual Elite 48 Showcase in Charlotte, NC to give the Classes of 2020 - 2026 in the States of NC, SC & GA a chance to compete against each other.  I was able to view the attendees at this event and I have identified a few of the players that I enjoyed watching compete throughout the day.

Neptune, NJ- This past Saturday, NJ Belles hosted their Fall Kickoff event at Hoopgroup HQ. Prior to attending the event I was not too familiar with this event and the talent is drew. However, after taking in the action at the one-day event I can say it was well worth the hour and fifteen-minute drive south.

The 2nd installment of the i77 Evaluation showcase was filled with talent that represented NC, SC, GA, MD, IN - 90 attendees this year were broken up into 2 sessions - High School (40) Players | Middle School (50) Players - I will be focusing on the Middle School group (Classes of 2024 - 2026) - I will be identifying a few of the attendees that stood out throughout the 2 days.
