If you’re looking for players to make a Sydney Taylor-type leap into the WNBA I think Harmoni Turner is a pretty good pick

NEPSAC's ruling that NEBL teams are ineligible for NEPAC playoffs will have significant ripple effects on the New England prep school scene.
So @ethman43 and @steve_hewitt talked about it.

It’s so so so early, but we’ve already got a couple of 2030 players on a high-major track and quite a few very interesting young talents. It’s a promising class so far and can’t wait to see who else lands on my radar this winter
The next wave of high school basketball talent is up.
Who should you know in a promising 2030 girls class as their freshman seasons begin?
@ethman43 has 10 rising stars already on his radar: basketballjournal.com/10-ear…
I'm soooo excited for this. Not only is it always such an amazing showcase but FINALLY at long last we are getting NEPSAC teams against national powerhouses. AND Springfield Central (who I am very high on) is getting involved too. I cannot wait

Angel Reese's shooting efficiency has risen sharply since late August.
She has averaged 1.18 points per true shot over her last 200 attempts—on par with Napheesa Collier's efficiency (1.19) during the regular season.
Her ascension has provided rocket fuel for the Dream's run.

Dexter Southfield boasts one of NEPSAC's most talented rosters led by five-star national prospect Ella Peper.
Is this the year that Dexter puts a championship run together?

NEWS (From NBC):
Game 1 of the 2026 WNBA Finals averaged 2.1 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, making it the most-watched WNBA Finals Game 1 ever.
Dream vs. Valkyries is up 11% vs. last year’s Game 1 between Mercury and Aces.
Shoutout Javonte Green man
Goes undrafted in 2015, plays four years overseas, snuck onto the end of the Celtics roster in 2019 and has since carved out a nice 8-year NBA career. Always been a high-motor guy who’s fun to watch

Simple but effective design from the Pistons.
Looks like it could be a stagger, but Duncan Robinson cuts through & eventually pops back out to the corner.
Wide pindown for Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren rolling to the side with Robinson.
No tag = lob for Duren

DeWanna Bonner reads & shoots gaps so well defensively, & has done so for SO long.
Her wingspan is an advantage, but her defensive anticipation & feel are exceptional.

Is Nobles the favorite in NEPSAC girls Class AAA?
With most of last year's team back and more experienced, the Bulldogs have one of the region's deepest rosters.
@ethman43 previews the team: basketballjournal.com/is-nob…
It is unreal the amount of good 1-on-1 lockdown defenders there are on both teams in this series. It's so hard for anyone to create an advantage in a 1-on-1 drive
Love the face up drive from Angel Reese to close that quarter, she seems super confident and decisive seeking out paint shots to start

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert on the rise of international players
Engelbert said that the percentage of international players was around 8% when she took over in 2019. Now it’s “a little over 30%.”
Also noteworthy that the quality of the game has only increased
New England has at least two players who will be on WNBA radars in some capacity and a bunch more who will be involved on really good teams.
Fun year to follow!
We're closing in on the start of a new college basketball season.
Who are the local players you need to know?
