Additional New England (C/0 2026) On The Rise…
In this article:
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> In this report, we continue to hear about New England Freshman (c/o 2026) recruits that saw varsity action this fall, and will likely be names to know moving forward. Every year we see young rising athletes that have advanced physical traits and or skill sets, coming out of middle school. Some of these same athletes are usually capable of already passing the college Coaches' famous “eye test”. It's happening more and more each year. We do recognize that the vast majority will still need to develop technically, however, we have seen many already have the mindset and competitive ability to compete at the varsity level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our Prep Redzone Next National Scouting Director “Al Pops”, has evaluated many of these athletes during their youth playing years, and now we will be sure to keep you posted on their recruitment through High school.</p>
