6'10" PF attending Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Wilbraham, MA.  He attended Fordham Prep in Bronx, NY, prior to his transfer to W & M in 2019 and those are the stats you'll see in the MaxPreps link.   From what I've learned thus far, W & M played a very limited schedule this past year due to the pandemic.  He plays AAU ball for the New York Rens on the EYBL circuit.

Was Archie kicking the tires on him last summer or am I thinking of the wrong kid?

From about a year ago--props to Mike Schumann:

May 8, 2020 Mike Schumann 

The high major offers are starting to roll in for an intriguing east coast talent in the class of 2022.

6-foot-10 forward Kyle Filipowski has been offered by UCLA, Providence and Vanderbilt in recent weeks, and he is firmly on the Indiana radar.

                                   ...

Filipowski’s versatile inside / out game lines up with with what Archie Miller has been focusing on with the forwards that he recruits, and it has been Miller that has been leading the charge on this recruitment recently.  Filipowski told The Daily Hoosier that he has spoken to Miller as recently as this week, and it is a dialogue that he intends to keep going.

Hailing from New York, Filipowski shows an ability on film to handle the ball and shoot from the perimeter while also playing with his back to the basket.

For Filipowski, the conversations with Miller provide a chance to learn more about the Indiana program.

“Other than their reputation and history, I don’t know much about them specifically, I am just beginning to learn more details about them,” he told The Daily Hoosier.

Filipowski is no doubt someone that the IU staff will have a close eye on this summer if AAU play resumes.  He is slated to play with the New York Renaissance program on the Nike EYBL circuit.  That program produced recent IU graduate Devonte Green.

Jake Weingarten - Four-star junior Kyle Filipowski has planned several visits, as he told @Stockrisers: Will officially visit Syracuse the first weekend of June, Ohio State the second, and working on OV’s w/ Iowa & UCLA.  In addition, he will unofficially visit UConn at the end of June.

Comments on Filipowski after an AAU event held April 9-11.

Rob Cassidy of Rivals:  Currently ranked as the No. 117 prospect in the 2022 class, Flipowski outplayed that ranking at the event.  Playing for the New York Rens, Flipowski showed off a well-rounded game that included scoring on the inside, the high post and a couple of 3-pointers.  He handles the ball well for a player of his size but isn't afraid to mix it up under the glass.  His multi-facetted game certainly warrants a climb up in ranking.

 

Eric Bossi:  It seems strange to think that somebody who is already a four-star prospect had a breakout performance, but that's what Kyle Filipowski of the Rens did during the day's final game.  Currently ranked No. 92 nationally by 247Sports, the 6-foot-10 Filipowski looks like a player who could be on his way to making a big rise in the class of 2022.

He's every bit of his listed 6-foot-10 (if not a little bigger) and he's got the type of frame that will be able to carry more weight without costing him athleticism or flexibility.  The key with Filipowski is that he blends skill with some toughness and a great motor.  He was running the floor, played strong around the rim, showed that he can shoot comfortably from behind the three-point line and he crashed the glass.

Filipowski hasn't really had a lot of opportunities to show what he can do over the last year and if his start to the grassroots season was any indicator, he's a guy that scouts and eventually coaches (hopefully in July) will enjoy watching all spring and summer.  Filipowski said that Iowa, Ohio State and UCLA have been the most active in his recruitment to date but he could really see things take off.  You never want to make too much of one outing, but if Filipowski had already been ranked in the top 50, then that type of ranking would have looked to be pretty legitimate.  Look for him to be a hot name over the next few months.

I checked out some of his highlight videos. Looks like he can go inside or outside with ease.

This article said he was ranked 117(rivals) and 92(247). I saw a tweet that said he was top 60. It is possible I am thi king of someone else. I'll see if I can find it back.

 

Edit- it is 247 composite.

One of the more goofy set of ranking numbers:  Rivals #117 / PrepHoops #101 / 247 #58 / ESPN #31.   Average of 77.  Take your pick.

Q&A with Filipowski.  Like all recruits these days, I asked him about his impressions of Woodson.  I thought he gave a good answer.

LOVE this:

TDH:  What are the key things that you are looking for in a college?

Filipowski:  Obviously I want to

1. go to college for four years and get my degree, so that is definitely a priority to me.  Also one of my dreams is to
2. win a national championship, so playing at the highest level for basketball, being on the biggest stage, just getting those goals athletically,
3. winning a conference championship, winning a national championship, so being with one of those high end contenders is definitely something I am looking for.  Also,
4. just having that family environment.  I want coach and teammate relationships where they will last the rest of my life, and I really develop those relationships and the school feels like another home for me.

 

Who will get me to the league the fastest

Kyle also has a twin brother Matt Filipowski. He is 6'11 and 235 lbs. He mostly has mid major offers but some bigger programs are starting to show some interest.

A pair of 6'10" and 6'11" kids with one being a 4* recruit and the other with potential? Sure that'd be alright with me

Colby Giacubeno - Scout/Recruiting Analyst for PrepHoops.

@NYRhoops  with a dominant 73-58 win over Team Final.  ‘22 Kyle Filipowski (21pts) is as good as advertised.

Josh Verlin @jmverlin

@Nepa_Elite’s 17s hung with the @NYRhoops for the first dozen minutes but now it’s 37-21 Rens early in the second half. Nobody can stop Kyle Filipowski today.  Best player in the gym.

Endless Motor Sports - Strong performance for 2022 Kyle Filipowski for NY Rens EYBL at the KYDA Invitational.  Versatile + skilled 6’10 Forward is a walking mismatch.  Good ballskills + shotmaking ability while having the size/length to impact the game in the paint.  Very undervalued by mainstreams.
