Here are a few more organized highlights from earlier in the Hoop Group season with @TheChurchSelect.

After a great Official Visit with @CoachDTrumbo @MatthewDCapell @MBacks I’m grateful to receive an offer from (D2) St Thomas Aquinas College . Thank you coaches for having me ! @ZachKuba @TheChurchSelect @DobbsFerryHoops @HoopGroupAL

Last but not least is my guy Hank Ford (Philips Exeter- 2026). Getting to know Hank this summer has been a gratifying experience. After we won our HGAL championship, Hank was also one of the players to travel with me to Singapore and Hong Kong where we got to enrich our

Stuff like this is what keeps me going. No better kid than Austin Mejia (out of Regis). Recruited from our @TheChurchSelect team by D3s but didn’t find the right fit with Academics and hoops. He decides to go to @HCrossMBB, becomes a manager as a Freshman and WORKS his way into a

Getting close to that time! Roster already filling up with MAJOR talent. More than 80% of the players who have played in the NYC Academic Elite have gone on to play in college. Many of those recruited solely from the event. As one college coach told me “we only need to recruit

🏆 The Inaugural HGAL Champions @TheChurchSelect Smart. Tough. Skilled. Competitive. These young men play the game the right way. Under Coach @ZachKuba, Riverside Select built a team that wins with discipline, teamwork, and consistency. Proud of these players and the families

So fortunate to get to coach @JtLindi (@IonaPrepBBall 2026) this July. This guy can guard anyone. I’ve known/ loved JT and his family for years. So glad he was able to join our @TheChurchSelect group for the stretch run. JT’s defensive prowess, physicality, and mindset was just

Noah Khalid is a big shot maker and big game scorer. If we are in any kind of offensive lull, Noah is the guy we look to get it to. In our Elite 8 game we almost let a 15 point lead slip away, down 70-68, we got the ball in his hands to hit the game winning 3 to advance 71-70.

There’s really not much more I can say about Brad Brown (Don Bosco ‘26) other than ‘if you value winning, you take Brad on your team.’ We don’t accomplish all we accomplished all season without Brad. He’s the guy who’s always competing and is disgusted if he doesn’t get the best

After a great visit and conversation with Coach Reilly I’m thankful to receive an offer from ( D2) Thomas Jefferson University . Thank you Coach Reilly for having me and I look forward to our official visit later in the month ! @ZachKuba @DobbsFerryHoops @TheChurchSelect

🚨 Newcomer Alert!! 🚨 First up, Chase Garcia! A steady and tough on ball guard! Keeping NY in the Big 🍎!! 🧵for highlights! Welcome Chase! #RollViolets

Silas Brockway, 6’4 G (Millbrook School) totally changed the energy of our entire tournament run. Silas was playing fine, but when we were down double digits with 9 minutes to go vs Heat Elite, Silas came in and changed the energy totally to our favor. Deflections, steals, takes

Shout out to @JackCoco_11 ... Coco filled in where we needed him @TheChurchSelect and made our rotations better playing with the HGAL group. Kid is tough as hell, explosive first step, makes shots and defends the guard position well. Definitely a college player. Excited to

Why I love Caleb Garutti… Caleb was not making shots as consistently as he had throughout the spring for us. Yet he still found a way to be a key ingredient of our HGAL Championship run by impacting the game in every other way possible. As a cutter, screener, rebounder and

Our go to guy throughout the spring and summer had been Anthony Ficarrotta, 6’3 G/Wing from @DobbsFerryHoops … Natural Scorer. Anthony has proved that he is a scholarship level scorer and again averages over 25ppg during our @HoopGroupAL championship run. Anth has a feel when we

A HUGE STOCK RISER after the @HoopGroupAL Championship run is 6’6 Wing Derek Gomez from St Peters Prep (NJ). Derek’s enthusiasm and athleticism really made the difference. He averaged 13.5ppg including a big 15 point performance in a 59-55 Championship win. He also averaged close

Let’s start talking our roster w/ 6’6 F Jack Moynahan from Riverdale School. Jack has turned himself into a highly sought after prospect. His learning curve for the game is impressive. The progression of reading the floor as a passer, making smarter cuts, and understanding

Really impressed by our @TheChurchSelect 17U Gold group this week going 5-1 @TheHoopGroup This was a group that has been committed to getting better throughout the spring and summer. It was really fun watch them share the ball, attack people on defense and make shots. Coach Jamie
