Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Adam Finkelstein with the New England Recruiting Report put out it's first rankings for the top talent from NE for 2015. Plenty of BE targets. Here's the top 10:

1 Terance Mann 6'5" G/F Tilton School
2 Jalen Adams 6'2" SG Cushing Academy
3 Josh Sharma 6'11" C Northfield Mount Hermon
4 Donovan Mitchell 6'3" G/F Brewster Academy
5 Aaron Falzon 6'8" PF Northfield Mount Hermon
6 Jarred Reuter 6'8" C/F Brewster Academy
7 Jeremy Miller 6'9" C/F New Hampton

Many of those top ten players are Big East targets. The Friars are involved with 7 or 8 of them with your bold printed Donovan Mitchell supposedly the number 1 target. Gotta find a way to keep him away from Syracuse and UConn.

As a comparison, here's the top 11 from the 2014 class from the same region. All of the signees have signed to mostly hi-majors but all very good schools.

1 Chris McCullough 6'9" PF Brewster Academy Syracuse
2 Goodluck Okonoboh 6'9" C/F Wilbraham & Monson UNLV
3 Abdul-Malik Abu 6'8" PF Kimball Union Academy N.C. State
4 Kaleb Joseph 6'2" G Cushing Academy Syracuse
5 Paschal Chukwu 7'1" C Fairfield Prep Providence
6 Jared Terrell 6'3" G Brewster Academy Oklahoma St
7 Bonzie Colson 6'5" F St. Andrew's School Notre Dame
8 Tory Miller 6'8" C/F New Hampton Colorado
9 Jarvis Garrett 6'0" PG Notre Dame Prep Unsigned
10 Jacquil Taylor 6'9" C/F Beaver Country Day Purdue
11 Kevin Zabo 6'2" PG Brewster Academy San Diego State

Also notice the BE only got one of the top 11 NE players this year, even though I think Taylor wanted to go to PC but Bentil signed first. Regardless like you said FJ, there's room and need for better results for the BE in the 2015 class.
