Connecticut Elite Basketball Program

Our 17U HGSL team having some fun and preparing for live period this past weekend at the @TheHoopGroup New England Spring Warm Up. @HGSL_HoopGroup @ihoopcrazy @NERRHoops @RecruitTheBronx @KDScoutingBBall #Elitefamily

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. @joelnash_

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_HoopGroup team to a championship that weekend. He’s definitely a scholarship level PG. Take a look ⬇️⬇️⬇️

First half highlights of Joel Nash ‘26 (@joelnash_ ) vs NY Lightning HGSL this past weekend. @HGSL_HoopGroup

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

One of the top point guards on @HGSL_HoopGroup 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.

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? @joelnash_

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. @SClachko

Before the night is out I just want to give the guys at @HGSL_HoopGroup | @HoopGroupAL a big round of applause. @will_louis0 @HoopGroupEamonn @brianpetro4 continue to put together the best independent circuits in. Myself and @CT_Elite_BBall would like to say thank you!

In a win over Adapt Academy HGSL 82-57 this morning. S. Clachko- 24pts @SClachko A. Kearney- 19pts @neajdaballer J. Nash- 16pts @joelnash_ F. Toure- 8pts @FadelMamanToure L. Pivovar- 6pts @1ucaspivovar B. Iglesias- 4pts @showtimebrand07 B. White- 3pts B. Barnett- 2pts

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. @SClachko
