Summer Kickoff in the 518… always a special night. 112 players in the gym across two sessions. Pretty much all regions of NY represented along with players from MA, PA, and VT.

Seasoned upperclassmen vets, promising up & comers, event first timers, and more. Some clawing to get on college radars, others that are being aggressively recruited already including a double-digit collection that hold D1 or D2 offers. Full row of college coaches. Familiar & new faces, compete/respond/grow, exposure opportunity… that’s what it’s about.

THANK YOU to all that made the 9th Annual EST Summer Kickoff a success!

Time for more house work catch-up and sleep 🙃

Who’s in :

It wouldn’t be complete without the tone setter 🫡 speedy true PG that’s exceptional at creating the pace she excels in, defends at a high level 94 feet, great court vision in the half-court, and the list goes on. Just scroll her feed, I’ve said/posted it all 🤷🏻‍♂️

2027 Aliyah Pearson (Colonie/NY Havoc)… locked in 🔒
