[/quote] OK - here's two piano players, one flautist, one harpist, and one cello player.  They are all males, they are all 6'2" or slightly over and they all have heart.  Start them against HJ or Silsbee - in my opinion, it'll be "die trying." [/quote]How you gonna have the same heart playing a *harp?*  ::) ::)

So what would/could happen if probation is broken?

Give me guys with heart and I'll kick your butt or die trying ;)

[quote name="NB-Dawg" post="1179366" timestamp="1329410241"] The term 'talent' has been discussed in many different aspects on this forum. One's perception of talent seems to be different than the next guy's opinion. What are the top 5 (or more) qualities, in your opinion, that makes a High School kid 'talented'? There are plenty more, I know, but this should get it started: (Does not have to be in order) 1. Basketball IQ 2. Athleticism* 3. Diversified Scoring Ability (inside, outside, [b]SMRJ[/b], FTs) 4. Defensive Effeciency (Steals, Blocked Shots, defensive pressure) 5. Ball Control (Low TO/steal ratio; dribbling/passing) There are plenty others, I know. [/quote]sHEEZ! You left out the most important one..... mental toughness, and don't you dare use the excuse, "it goes under basketball IQ."  :)

[/quote]At this juncture playing the next day isn't that big of a deal [/quote]Although that may be true, the fact that you only have to win one game, whereas the other two teams have to win two games to make the play-offs.......  That's a big advantage. But on a side-note.  Condition-wise, they may be able to play two games in 24 hours, but what if the Friday night game is a double overtime nail-biter?  How will the winner of that game be able to get up for a Saturday afternoon game? [/quote]All those programs have or use the HJ  TRACK OFF-SEASON PROGRAM ;)
