Just cause you can make up an argument doesn’t make it a good one or a legitimate one.  I’m aware UIL signed off on it.  As long as you are in resource classes (what we used to call special ed), you can be close to drinking age and playing high school sports.  For those that aren’t, you better not turn 19 a couple of weeks before Sept. 1.  
 

We call him scooby in Orange and he will still dunk on you to this day lol Don’t know how he slipped my mind. 

So are you ranking them on offers and what they did after high school or what they did in school? You’re moving the goalposts every post 😂

Even if you want to go with Hefner as the collegiate player he has had a hard time finding a role on the team. Weisbrod was a very very good player once he moved back home. Dominated the juco level and then came in and was one of the top 5 players in the confrence for two years. 
Jamie Weaver averaged 3 points a game at Houston and then had to transfer to Hawaii where he didn’t even end up finishing out playing basketball. 
If you want to go with the guy who played HS ball in the 40s and 50s go ahead I guess. 
Point is, those other two have been to better programs, and Hefner was 100% the better prospect, but no one who has played at Nederland has been better than Colton.

In fairness, I remember big Colton taking 6’10” Tonny Trocha-Morelos to school in a game against A&M over Thanksgiving when he was a true freshman at New Orleans.  He scored it 6 out of the 8 times he touched it on the blocks, despite giving up half a foot to the high major kid.  The Privateers lost against that Aggie team with Daniel House and Alex Caruso but I remember watching the game with my son and father and hearing the ESPN guys gush about the freshman from Nederland.  
 
And I wasn’t surprised at all.  Saw him do the same thing the summer before his senior year against Myles Turner.  Seems like he’s had (and still having) a decent career.  
 
I won’t argue the guy from the peach basket era that won a medal and some nba titles.  He would have to be all time Beaumont Enterprise super gold team with that resume.  Not even Stephen Jackson, Perk, BJ, etc. have that combo of accolades.

Weisbrod was the mvp of the State his senior year.  He was an undersized 4 at the next level so that dictated his offers.  A 6-4 SG is more marketable at the collegiate level than a 6-5 (at best) PF.  However, if it’s the best HS player, it’s gotta be Weisbrod.  And I love me some Hef.  As for the other guys, way before my time so can’t speak to them.  

Colton is also on the very short list of best players in SETX in the last decade. 

So where you choose to go to college dictates who's the better HS player? Hmmm ok. 

Nederland has only one person to even be considered. It’s Colton, a wide gap, and then 3 or 4 more players to be considered. That’s no disrespect to the other guys, but Colton was in a league of his own.

Then it's definitely a better gig than Vidor 😂

I'm available 😁

FYI. Many don’t know summer of 07’ I spent the summer in Spain w the woman’s national basketball team. One thing led to another and the next wave is enrolling in the fall. Romeo, Antonio and Giovanni, yes triplets.  💪🏼❤️🏀

Alex is one of the best all around athletes to ever walk the halls in Buna. I’d say you’re probably right. 100% agree on the last part. Their parents are some of the best you’ll ever find. 

Graduating a lot and losing the last Connell. No more in the chamber unless Manny can convince a woman to like him enough 😂 Then we’d have to wait another 14 years though. 

Yeah his athleticism was what set him apart.  All 3 had nosebleed basketball IQs (and IQs in general from what I hear) and could shoot the leather off the ball.

@72 Pinto I'm 100% sure that DJ Wilson is not interviewing next week.  I appreciate that you're trying to get me a job which is getting harder in Biden's economy but I'm happy here in Buna. Plus orange makes me look fat, Go Cougars!!

Ok, ok.  You did at least do some research to get the correct records.  I still suspect you’ve seen zero of their games over the past two years or seen KJ coach a single game.  I wouldn’t expect you to, it’s 2A girls basketball.  Not like it’s televised.  But from what it sounds like, it came down to a couple of guys that actually wanted the job and your administration hired the more experienced.  I’m sure they wish they had more interest in the job.  And speaking of the boys job, I wonder how much interest they would have gotten there too.  You see, when the local “experts” run off a historically GREAT (not just good) coach, word tends to get around and the more qualified guys (and gals) may shy away. So KJ could be the best women’s coach since Hyden there and I suppose it’s possible your comrades still won’t be satisfied. Tough gig over there. 

Not like AAU. UIL only allows schools certain amount of games a year. It’s like what the California schools do or get around the CIF game rule limit. Same coaches and same players. Just for fun though 😉
