Went to Brewster vs New Hampton last night with a New Hampton 7pt win 81-74 that was a 2 pt war until the last seconds. This was a high paced action packed war played by 2 teams without any 6'10 to 7 ft inside players but tons of 6'6 to 6'8 far above the rim athletes. I still haven't found a New Hampton roster to ID other players, but they have apparently cloned Tyler Lydon with a 2022 soph named Alex Karaban. He has Tyler Lydon size, skills, and versatility with Giffey BB IQ. I didn't find boxscores , but after the game I looked up writeups of their 6 previous games and this game was not an aberration. He scored 27 pts vs Hargrave Academy with 8 rbs, 21 w/7 rbs vs Blair Academy, 12 vs Vermont Academy, 24 vs Tilton, 21 vs Ridley college, and he scored, rebounded, ball handled, defended, and had intangibles last night that made me notice and inquire. My guess is 6'8 to 6'9 wirey strong even as a soph. Karaban with Donovan Clingan is my current 2022 wish list.
FYI New Hampton Alumni include Kenya Hunter. also Ed Cooley, Pat Knight, Cuonzo Martin, that are out there recruiting. Notable past players, Tyler Lydon (Syr), Noah Vonleh (Indiana), Rashad McCants (NC), Lawrence Moten (Syr), Darius Songalia (wake?), and many others.
If anybody watched Texas Tech vs Louisville and saw Chris Clarke play the boards, handle the ball, distribute, and take shots when needed, Kadary Richmond is Chris Clarke. He is a warrior on the boards besides being a ball handler, driver, hit a 3, didn't shoot a high % in this game, but had multiple tips and was relentless. I'm really disappointed he will not be a husky.
Oh. New Hampton is also the 'Huskies', so Karaban is used to being a Husky. Seems like it could be destiny? Huskies + Hunter = Karaban?
