New England Playaz at Real Deal in the Rock

A great update from the New England Recruiting Report on Naadir Tharpe and the New England Playaz performance from this weekend.

Highlights include:

The Playaz locked up with Team Texas in the first bracket play game, creating a one-on-one match-up for Naadir Tharpe and Jamal Branch, the 22nd ranked prospect in the national class of 2011 who is already committed to Texas A&M. Tharpe rose to the challenge and was “spectacular” according to Gassnola, getting to the rim every time he wanted to lead to Playaz to a 4-0 record and a place in the round of 16.

“Every year you look to see the improvements that guys make and I think Alex Murphy has made noticeable improvements and become such a confident guy,” Telep said on Monday morning. “One play he drove the lane and dunked the ball. I don’t know if he surprised himself but that was a little bit of an eye opener as if to say ‘O.K. this is where we’re at right now’".

Naadir and the Playaz will participate in a loaded Providence Jamfest this weekend.  Click here for the complete schedule.
