[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1195357" timestamp="1331385125"] [quote author=AggiesAreWe link=topic=97278.msg1195321#msg1195321 date=1331348756] How does a 5A basketball team with two players going to Texas, playing "real" basketball, have only 5 points with 2:30 left in 2nd quarter? Naaman and their '6"11 Texas signee has just played 8 whole clock minutes (equivalent of 1 quarter) without scoring a point!! [/quote] Let me skool you for a brief minute Aggie. Most bigs you find today are not fully developed. They get the hype because of their size AND POTENTIAL. Most bigs are still in the developmental stage for this generation of ballers. [/quote] Don't need any "skooling" from you. But you need it from me. I was speaking on the entire team, which includes the '6"11 Texas signee, that went an entire span of a quarter without scoring a single point. You know, 5A basketball, where the "real" basketball is played, yet cannot get a single point in 8 minutes of play. ::)
