Rivals Freshman Derek Collins Drives To The Hoop

The New England Recruiting Report came out with the ratings of the top freshman in Massachusetts.  Again, the Rivals our forutnate enough to have as members of their club two of the eleven players that are discussed in the article by Adam Finklestein.  Derek Collins and Noah Vonleh are both long time Rivals who have both had great high school seasons at North Andover and Haverhill High schools respectively.

See what the New England Recruiting Report had to say about the best Massachusetts Prep School and High School players.

The Bay State was by far the most difficult to assess.  Rene Castro, Wayne Selden, and even Ramone Gibbons may be the most effective players right now but guys like Noah Vonleh and Jaquille Taylor may have higher upsides.  Then there's Cornelius Tyson who is the best point guard we've seen in the class along with Jake Fay, Derek Collins, Carlin Haymon, Colin Richey, Bobby Ahearn, and a handful of others all fighting for a spot in the top five.  Ultimately we decided to leave Castro #1 until someone knocks him off and put Vonleh at #2 because of his staggering long term potential and current production.  Selden is third for the time being, with Taylor fourth, and Tyson fifth, but the bottom line is that if you ask five different qualified evaluators they may give you five totally different orders.
