Rabs really wants to be at HC and seems willing to do whatever is asked of him. As Dave notes, he seemed to be at every home game when he was in high school to support the team. He’ll have a role going forward as a big who will work hard, play some defense and get some tough rebounds. Whether that’s 5 mpg or 25, time will tell. Have to agree with 92. After Mike R had signed his NLI, I was at a Prep school game near my home that Worcester Academy was the visiting team. 92 was also in attendance. Mike recognized me and my son in the hall way before the game, and thanked us for coming to see him and Judson M play that afternoon. From that gesture, I became a big fan of Mike. I hope that he will show tremendous improvements over the next two years. He appears to have his priorities focused regarding the HC team.

Someplace this season, Coach Nelson mentioned Lewis will be a very good player when his time comes....Sounds to me like Lewis is a typical big at D-1 schools. Takes a while to get strong enough, and gain the physicality needed at this level... Who said "The best thing about freshman is they become sophomores." I don't know if he coined the phrase but that would be the same man who among other things said I never recruited a kid with a lawn.

NERR had a shoutout about Will Batchelder recently passing the 1500 point mark in his high school career.

It has been a while since I tried to make a layup while picking up a cone with the off-hand.

Dribbling too high Some PL refs would call the side steps a walk

Very interesting that the video showed him missing some shots. I appreciate that there’s no implication he walks on water like the clips of others.
I agree that his dribble looks awfully high and susceptible to being picked off.
Looks like a good get.

That video is also from Feb 2, 2021. I suspect his skills have developed a lot since then and will continue to develop.

It has been a while since I tried to make a layup while picking up a cone with the off-hand. That didn't impress me much. Every morning I reach down for my slippers while fumbling for my glasses....so I can find the bathroom.

This AAU stuff is really getting out of hand! that was at a a camp..The numbers in the 100's are the give away..At the top level camps, every playr gets a different number so anybody watching can easily find out who each player is...No worry about what team he is on....

There is a 6'4" guard at BC High that might be flying under the radar. His name is Mike Loughnane and his father coaches the undefeated Eaglets or Eagles. He went off for 32 in the State Semifinal win last night in Worcester. According to Verbal Commits he has offers from Benley and the ubiquitous Bryant Bulldogs.
