The New England Basketball Journal has launched a dedicated tracker that records the college commitments of high school athletes in the region, spotlighting the early steps of the Class of 2027 as they move from prep schools to the collegiate hardwood.
On September 1, 2023, Jack Millward, a forward from the region, officially pledged to Middlebury College, marking the first notable commitment in the journal’s ongoing compilation for the 2027 cohort.
The Commitment Landscape
The aspirations of New England prospects often converge on competing at the Division I, II, or III level, a spectrum that offers varying balances of athletic scholarship and academic focus, and the journal’s list serves as a barometer of how regional talent is navigating that choice.
Families, players and coaches are being urged to submit their own commitments to the journal, a move that aims to broaden the database and capture the full breadth of emerging talent across the region.
Steve Hewitt, reachable at steve.hewitt@basketballjournal.com, functions as the point of contact for all submissions, ensuring that each entry is verified before appearing in the public roster.
