The National Prep Showcase, one of the top post-graduate basketball events in the entire nation, is coming to New Haven this weekend from Friday, November 19th to Sunday, November 21st at Albertus Magnus College. The event features a 23 team field, including all of the top ten schools in the country according to the National Prep Poll and the defending national champions from each of the last four seasons.


The National Prep Showcase will also feature an overwhelming amount of individual talent, adding to an alumni list that includes over 15 NBA players including Michael Beasley and Tyreke Evans. Over 150 division I prospects will be in action including the nation’s top two ranked juniors according to ESPN in Middletown resident Andre Drummond (St. Thomas More School) and Khem Birch (Notre Dame Prep).

There is a definite local flavor to the field as Wilbraham & Monson’s seven-foot-one center Enosch Wolf has already committed to UConn, St. Thomas More forward Adam Jones is committed to Fairfield, and Northfield Mount Hermon’s Armani Cotton has committed to Yale. Connecticut residents in the field include St. Thomas More’s Drummond (Middletown) and B.J. Cardarelli (Manchester), South Kent’s Anthony Jernigan (East Hartford) and Jabrille Williams (Stamford), Maine Central Institute’s Ryen Vilmont (Hamden), Northfield Mount Hermon’s Ethan O’Day (Mansfield) and Obi Momah (Farmington), Bridgton Academy’s Brendan Allen (Windsor), and Wilbraham and Monson’s Adam Shrecengost (Avon).



But that is just the beginning as local fans will have the opportunity to see many of college basketball’s future stars. A small sample of the top committed players in the field includes: Notre Dame Prep’s Birch (Pittsburgh), Angel Nunez (Louisville) and Grandy Glaze (UNLV); Brewster Academy’s Naadir Tharpe (Kansas), Jakarr Sampson (St. John’s), Markus Kennedy (Villanova), and Durand Johnson (Pittsburgh); Bridgton Academy’s Donnie Hale (Purdue); Hargrave Military Academy’s P.J. Hairston (North Carolina), Desmond Wells (Xavier), C.J. Barksdale (Virginia Tech), Marquis Rankin (Virginia Tech), and Robert Brown (Virginia Tech); Northfield Mount Hermon’s Aaron Cosby (Seton Hall); Nia Prep’s Shaquille Thomas (Cincinnati); South Kent’s Maurice Harkless (St. John’s), Derrick Randall (Rutgers), and Ge’lawn Guyn (Cincinatti); St. Andrew’s Michael Carter-Williams (Syracuse); and Westwind’s Richard Peters (Oklahoma).

The event is annually among the most highly attended in the country by college coaches and scouts with the 2009 National Prep Showcase drawing close to 200 on-looking coaches with schools like UConn, Texas, Kansas, West Virginia, Baylor, Missouri, Georgia, and Washington all represented.

This year college coaches are once again expected to come out in high volume as some of the top un-committed players in the field include: St. Thomas More’s Drummond; Brewster Academy’s Elijah Carter (UCLA, Rutgers, Seton Hall) and Mitch McGary (Illinois, Indiana, Miami, Pittsburgh); Kiski’s Sim Bhullar (Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Kentucky, USC), Stefan Jankovic (West Virginia, Stanford, Florida, Indiana), and Tanveer Bhullar (North Carolina, Duke, Indiana, Pittsburgh); La Lumiere’s Hanner Mosquera-Perea (Texas, Alabama, Baylor, Indiana) and Obij Aget (Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, Missouri); Lee Academy’s Anthony Joseph Perez Cortesia (Kansas State, Providence); New Hampton’s Zach Auguste (Boston College, Notre Dame, Baylor, Virginia); Notre Dame Prep’s Myles Davis (Pittsburgh, Villanova, Georgetown, Xavier) and Todd Mayo (Memphis, Baylor, West Virginia); South Kent’s Ricardo Ledo (Louisville, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas); St. Mark’s Alex Murphy (Duke, Florida, Arizona, Villanova) and Kaleb Tarczewski (Kansas, West Virginia, Duke, Indiana); and Tilton’s Nerlens Noel (Providence, Duke, UConn, Washington), Goodluck Okonoboh (Boston College, Providence, USC, Virginia Tech), and Wayne Selden (Duke, Providence, Boston College).
