Way to finish out the summer! Sam averaged 20PPG (3+ 3FG/game) and was tremendous on both ends of the floor. Not only have the high academic D3s inquired about Sam but so have a few D2 programs. This young man can play and finds a way to get it done. Sam Clachko

Before the night is out I just want to give the guys at HGSL | Hoop Group Academic League (HGAL) a big round of applause. Will Louis Eamonn Mahar Brian Petruzzelli continue to put together the best independent circuits in. Myself and Connecticut Elite Basketball Program would like to say thank you!

This young man named Sam Clachko has turned himself into a scholarship player this month. His feel for the game, IQ, ability to score, toughness and how he impacts the game on both ends of the floor speaks for itself. If you’ve seen him then you know he’s cold blooded. Sam Clachko

I’ve heard the same things over on over on Joel Nash the last few weeks. “He’s a D1 PG somewhere.” “He’s talented.” “We like him.” “He can play.” “He can pass.” “He’s fast.” “He can shoot.” “He has the ball on a string.” What more does anyone have to see? Joel Nash

One of the top point guards on HGSL circuit this year by far. Gave a lot of teams fits on the floor to the point where he saw double teams and teams put their most athletic wings on him to slow him down.

Congrats to Joel Nash on his offer from D2 Goldey Beacom! More to come for this young man. Joel Nash | HGSL

Some clips of Joel Nash at Hoop Group Summer Jam Fest this month. Speed, ball handling, shot making, finishing, passing and IQ is all there. He helped lead our 17U HGSL team to a championship that weekend. He’s definitely a scholarship level PG. Take a look ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I would say under the radar PG but most schools have seen him and know he’s a D1 PG. Not sure what schools are waiting on. Joel learning under an experienced PG will take his game to another level. Joel Nash

Some highlights of Sam Clachko at HG Summer Jam Fest in Spooky Nook with our 17U HGSL squad. Feel for the game, defensive mindset and scoring ability is top notch. Sam had heard from coaches in NESCAC & UAA as well as a few D2 programs. Sam Clachko

A kid a lot of schools should have on their board out of the ‘25 class. He’s heard from D2 and high academic D3 programs. The kid is a flat out hooper! Sam Clachko

Thanks Steve! Joel Nash is a DI PG. There’s nothing but good things said about Joel from coaches at every level and they all agree that he’s a scholarship level point guard.

No better program in CT right now! On both the boys and girls side 😤 #Elitefamily • “Numbers don’t lie. Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t.”
