2026 Heimir Helgason @heimirgam announced yesterday that he committed to UMass. #PhenomHoops
Think this is a tremendous steal and he has a chance to continue to develop.
I’ve had a number of former players who played and now live in Iceland. They love @DMEAcademyMBB@heimirgam, a vastly underrated 6-9 sniper. @UMassMBB & @coachFMartin got a good one.
My Icelandic basketball friends love this young man, @heimirgam, a 6-9 shooting 4 man from @DMEAcademy.? A mid-major program is “stealing” him. Has a big-time shooting stroke. First visit is @wyo_mbb.
2026 6’9 PF Heimir Helgason (@heimirgam) tells me he’s scheduled the following official visits.
Sept 12-14: Wyoming
Sept 19-21: UMASS
Sept 26-28 Duquesne
Is also in the process of scheduling more! Major stock riser in the 2026 class!
