Dave's Joint@daves_joint
24m
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.

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 :)

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.

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.

HEIMIR HELGASON FROM ICELAND!

LETS GO!

He had offers from UCF, Mississippi State, and Dayton. Visited Duquesne and Wyoming.

Let's end it with a commitment from Jahda Swann after his visit to UMass next weekend and we have a really exciting recruiting class ahead of us

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 :lol:

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.
