He's playing at Brewster Academy in Wolfsboro NH. Many top line players have been produced by Brewster including TJ Warren and Jeff Adrien.
I live in Portland Maine. Here’s some local background. Long post…

He just announced the transfer to prep at Brewster for his senior year after going 21-1 and winning Maine’s AA State Championship, the state’s highest division, at South Portland as a junior. He played as a freshman at nearby Scarborough HS when he was a 6’4” guard before transferring to South Portland. Dom Campbell is also from Scarborough Maine, but played three years at a private school in Portland, Waynflete, before he transferred to another prep school in NH, Phillips Exeter, for his senior year. They both played AAU for Massachusetts based Middlesex Magic where Pat Connaughton and Cormac Ryan starred.

New Hampshire has a number of touted prep schools in addition such as Tilton - home of former class of 2012 #1 player Nerlens Noel, and New Hampton - where Zach Auguste and UNC’s Rashad McCants played.

Years ago, NBA players such as Sam Cassell, Caron Butler, Cuttino Mobley, and Brad Miller prepped at MCI in Pittsfield Maine. Currently, Brewster is the Northeast Prep school of choice and has won the National Prep School Championship seven times: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Besides Warren and Adrien, their alumni also include all star Donovan Mitchell, Nuggets career 3 point leader Will Barton, Kentucky’s Terrance Clark - who would have been a first rounder before tragically passing in the car accident prior to the NBA draft last year, and current Syracuse starter Buddy Boeheim. If you check out rivals or 247, they have top players every year.

While acknowledging possible recency bias, Maine’s best potential player is rising sophomore Cooper Flagg from Newport. He was the states Gatorade player of the year, as a freshman, while leading his team to a class A state title (2nd highest of 5 divisions). He also just announced a transfer to prep in Florida at Montverde Academy. The former home of Ben Simmons and D’Angelo Russell. He participated in the USA Basketball Junior National Team minicamp in New Orleans during the Final Four, where juniors and sophomores comprised most of the rosters. Only a few of the 48 attendees were class of 2025 players.

Announcing his choice on Sept 2. Took four visits, Syr, Marq, Tenn and Iowa. Iowa seems to be in the lead. Doesn't sound like he's taking any more visits.

BB recruiting looks pretty bleak. The other New England big man we we after, T J Power of Worchester Mass looks like he's heading to Duke.

Only commit so far is Marcus Burton a 6-0 PG from Mishawaka. Currently 0 stars but he did have some MAC offers.
