If you get a chance this winter, you might want to check out the Marianapolis Golden Knights.
I had a chance to see them in action during the Hoop Mountain Prep School Basketball Classic this past Friday and if you like above-the-rim style activity, you're going to love the Knights.
Marianapolis has some players who will be on Division I rosters as early as next season led by Mike Myers-Keitt from Waterbury via Norwalk via Brooklyn, N.Y.
Myers-Keitt decided to take a year of prep school in, not only to help himself academically, but also to help himself in the eyes of Division I college basketball coaches. Many of whom had their eye on the six-foot-seven-inch prospect all weekend long.
Marianapolis coach Dave Vitale has also spoken highly of Aaron Strothers and shooting guard Niko Vukadinovic from Montenegro who can be a lights out three-point specialist.
When I saw them, Marianapolis didn't even have their point man running the show, Corey Wright, was sitting beside me doing the Marianapolis book at the scorer's table because he had tweaked his ankle the day before and the Knights still beat the Elite Shooting Stars 94-42.
Can Marianapolis capture the "B" Division New England Prep title, I wouldn't sell them short. As Vitale said, "his team has a lot of answers."
Check the Knights out, they're fun to watch.
