S/O to @coachFMartin & the @UMassMBB staff on their successful pursuit in the recruitment of @CamHailey2
During the @NikeEYBPeach Jam, we watched him ball out for @ExpressionsBall, as he held his own against some of the best comp in the nation. The kid from Boston is definitely one of them ones. Look out for him at @WRA_Hoops in Ohio this coming season

.

He transferred from Worcester Academy to Western Reserve Academy in Ohio for his senior year.

Good get, a Mass kid!

Nice to get a Massachusetts kid ! Haven’t had many lately

He is a player whose profile was significantly enhanced over the summer. Very nice commitment for Coach and his staff.

Good interview with Cam.

Cam said a couple months back that he'll play with Western Reserve Academy (in Ohio) this season. That'll get him used to some midwest travel

Another visit upcoming and he's also visiting Hofstra. Interesting visits when you look at his offers.

4 star is the new 3 star they aren’t going high major as much as they used to

Looks like his visit moved to 10/10.

^ No home football that weekend, I like it!

[69MG]

For anyone in the New Haven area, the National Prep Showcase will have our 2 new commits. I see Western Reserve and Bridgeton on the schedule. On Saturday (11/22), they play in back-to-back games.

Offers from Providence and Kansas.. enough said.

Looks like he plays in Brooklyn but is a Rochester, NY native.

On paper they are assembling a strong class of 2026 recruits. Great job by Frank and his staff.

It seems that the 2026 class may be a good one, but I can't help grimacing when a kid says " “I will be taking my talents to...", and yes, I am pretty old

[69MG]

Next year's class looks strong. It's got to be tough to recruit when you have no idea who is coming back. More praise for Helgason:

My Icelandic basketball friends love this young man, ⁦@heimirgam⁩, a 6-9 shooting 4 man from ⁦@DMEAcademy.?⁩
A mid-major program is “stealing” him. Has a big-time shooting stroke.
