Nice!!!!

 

Well looking at his stats.....

Im now scratching my head on this signing.

is there a higher ceiling for this kid that hasn’t been tapped into yet.....because his production was not good at all at south plains.

1.5 ppg

1.6 rpg 

33% ft

37.9% fg

Is he really considered local talent?

I didn’t miss too many games last year.  This year i think I might have even more of a reason to be there 😉

South Plains was ranked #1 in the country for most of the year.   They had 4 kids - 6-10 or better.  Only the starter and Catt played regularly, and the coach often played no bigs (had about 5 or 6 wings 6-6 or 6-7).  As a result, his minutes were limited.  There was a clip toward the end of the season where he was averaging a block every couple minutes of playing time.  He had a couple of American Athletic Conference offers, kid is supremely talented and athletic, especially for 6-10. 
 

Having said that, he is definitely still raw offensively.   Defensively, he is elite at any level collegiately.  Can legit guard 3 positions and is a nosebleed elite shot blocker.

Good to know.  Was just curious....I know not everything can be based on stats.

They didn’t have blocks listed.

I’m all about defense....

How exciting.  Not having local talent was the demise of L football.  I think Valentine’s height & talent will make L a force to be reckoned with.  May have to grab my cane & stumble out to a game.  😀

You’d better.  We haven’t watched a game together in too long.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
