Recruiting Stories

We provide a recap of the South Carolina High School league State Championship games for all 5 Girls Basketball classifications.

In the second year of this outstanding event, it expanded to two divisions and continues to grow.  I will outline the Championship teams and All-Tournament teams in each bracket.

Mooresville, NC – This past weekend NYGHoops Report got the chance to attend Insider Exposure, Independent School National Championship. The second-year event has doubled in size, while yet still maintaining its boutique like atmosphere.  The 27 -team Boys/Girls event was divided into 2 girls divisions of 14  (Elite) & 5 (Gold).

Brooklyn, NY – Rose Classic Super Jam has become a staple MLK weekend in NYC. This year, not even inclement weather could stop the Nike Sponsored Production. Teams participated from the following states: NY, NJ, CT, MA, MD IL, CO and Canada. The event took place over 4 days and two locations. NYGHoops Report was on hand to check out the action. This write up will focus on players in the classes of 2022 or younger.   

NIKE Tournament of Champions 2018: Miami Country Day wins Droesch Division; Redondo Union tops Smith Division By Bob Corwin Miami Country Day School of Miami, won the Clare Droesch (top) Division of the 2018 Nike Tournament of Champions (TOC) defeating Windward School of Los Angeles, California, 52-51 in a final's battle of two teams worthy of national ranking.  

During the Carolina Holiday Classic we viewed some very talented prospects that are in the 2020 recruiting class. The event matched up some talented high school teams from NC, SC & TN, and was hosted by Lady Ballers Insider (NC).  I have posted girls from the games I watched, excluding Providence Day & Butler HS.

  Fairfax, VA – The 11thannual edition of Art Turner Memorial, was once again a huge success with many nationally ranked teams and players. For the past four years, NYGHoops Report has been covering the event from start to finish. Here are some of the standouts from the event:  

Livonia, MI.- The Lady Baller Insider Michigan Mega Scrimmage has quickly become a staple in the mitten girls’ basketball scene. The one-day event allowed many of the state top prospects and late bloomers the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of many college coaches and scouts. Similar to years past, I got a chance to see some players that I wasn’t familiar with prior to attending the event. In this writeup - I will focus mainly on sophomores.

November 2 - 2018 - Talbert Recreation Center With the High School season approaching in the Carolinas - NYGHoops and Carolina Girls Hoops Report came together and hosted Friday Night Lights - An Open Run format for Middle School players from NC, SC & VA to compete against each other in front of Local & National evaluators to gain exposure. 76 players attended the event and I have identified a few that stood out.

 Daytona Beach, FL- The 2ndannual BFRC was hosted at Mainland H.S. The invite only event required all the participants were nominated. With such high level of talent in one building, it was a great idea to play one game at a time. NYGHoops Reportwas on hand for all six games. While a majority of the event participants will play at some level of collegiate hoops. These are some of the athlete’s that caught my eye:
