David Madol is Best in NH Class of 2011There is little doubt that Manchester Memorial's David Madol is the best prospect in New Hampshire High School Basketball. Madol's game has evolved to make him a talented 6'5" wingman who can knock down the three, put the ball to the floor, and finish in traffic. Madol can also play the game above the rim and is extremely quick off his feet and a great rebounder in traffic. Madol is clearly a scholarship prospect.
Milford's Jamie Holder comes in second and is the most improved basketball player in New Hampshire over the last two years. At 6'2", Holder is a late bloomer who is extremely athletic and is able to finish acrobatically around the rim. Holder who plays the 2-guard much of the time for his high-school team is the best point guard in New Hampshire high school basketball and has great upside at that position. Holder is likely to enroll in a year of Prep school following his senior campaign. With this, Holder is a scholarship level player.
Manchester Central's John Wickey has continued to improve. He impressed us against Bishop Guertin as he was a dominating presence in the post and was also able to step away from the basket and make shots. Wickey also moves well for a big man and has a good basketball future ahead of him.
Milford's Mike O'Loughlin is the best scorer in New Hampshire High School basketball as he O'Loughlin is an athletic guard that does a little bit of everything. He can get up and down the floor, score and transition, and make shots. O'Loughin will be taking his talents to Trinity next year.
Pittsfield's Ben Hill is a 6'9" prospect whose best attribute is that he has an excellent upside. As we have said before, one can not overlook Hill's size and athleticism. Still quite raw, Hill shows moments of division 1 potential as he can attack the basket and has nice touch from 12 feet in. He is still a work in progress, but we expect he'll have productive college years ahead.
