We got our first glimpse of this year’s potential England U18s squad at the 2014 Haris Memorial Tournament in December at the Amaechi Basketball Centre – and now we’re pleased to share the mixtape with you!
Led by the likes of Carl Wheatle, Sam Japhet-Mathias, Kyle Carey and Alex Roberts, the team finished a respectable third, going down in a hard fought OT game against St Andrew’s Prep in the semi finals.
Here are highlights of every player on the roster at Haris:
Luke Mitchell, 6’0″
Alex Roberts, 6’2″
Aidan Gastaldi-Davies, 6’4″
Dominic Scott-Robinson, 6’5″
Danny Evans, 6’4″
Denzel Ubiaro, 6’1″
Kyle Carey, 6’6″
Andre Arissol, 6’1″
RJ Eytle-Rock, 6’3″
Carl Wheatle, 6’5″
Paul Jeboda, 6’7″
Henri Langton, 6’10”
Harvey Barr, 7’0″
Sam Japhet-Mathias, 6’11”
Notable absences who have since rejoined the squad include point guard Calvin Nevill-Kintu and forward Akwasi Yeboah.
Watch the top plays from Day 1 at Haris, Day 2, and Day 3.
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
