[Hidden Content] Houston Defenders play Team Thad (Thaddeus Young’s team) in the UAA Finals Elite 8 at 6 pm Eastern, 5 pm Central here. Hefner, Clover and Catt all play for the Defenders team.

Wow! Did not see that.

They’re playing Texas Titans? If so, tune in tomorrow at 1 pm on ESPNU to see the Texas Titans play

I’m admittedly biased but Big Val probably has as high a ceiling as any of them. Just had 13 boards and 8 blocks against perennial power WeR1 (who has two huge, high D1 bigs). One of their wings rose up off the baseline to throw one down and Valentin met him with his head above the rim and sent that thing out of the gym. It was SportsCenter quality. Hoping the video guy captured it.

Yes

And Wise has a much bigger recruiting budget than Sig so you know there are going to be some kids there we haven’t anticipated. Haven’t really seen much of the younger silsbee kids but anxious to do so. One thing is for certain, even with Bush, he’s going to need some help against that relentless pressure. Too much for almost any one guard to fade on his own

That’s a pretty solid list that most college coaches would agree with, based on recruitability at the next levels. Clover should be moved to 3/4 area but overall impressive list.

Absolutely. There are levels to basketball like everything else in life. He will be at a level with other kids who are at his level.

Very true.

He’s 6-4 or 6-5 and more athletic than anyone mentioned ITT. The combination is why he is being recruited on a whole different level than some others mentioned.

That was actually the one year anniversary. But thank you very much my friend.

Thanks for posting this. And absolutely. Thank you Todd for all you do! Here’s to many, many more!

3 consecutive state championship appearances with 2 championships in 3 years. I think you can get all the action you want on that not being duplicated. In the history of the state (not just a town), that hasn’t been done very often.

How much more noise can a team make?

Or this one: [Hidden Content]

He sounded dumb, even for Bradshaw.

It’s getting comical at this point: [Hidden Content]

Because everyone knows football recruiting rankings in June are important Even Chollie finished strong in recruiting. Honestly, it just recruits itself. Always has, always will.

Long time coming. Tigee’s one of the best basketball minds I’ve been around. Truly cerebral about the game and anyone who has worked with him has the utmost respect for him. And his passion for the kids isn’t lost on them. He tends to get the very best out of them.

Fantastic hire.

That’s a great hire for Boswell and a big jump for Coach Hooker. I know he will miss the great folks at Dallardsville and vice versa. I’m sure Coach Foster will make another great hire though.

HF could be hiring a game changer if an offer extended is accepted.

So SEC leads the pack. Wow.

They were yapping on the Duke site about beating a women’s soccer school...

Oh I agree with you there. I think we will see more and more of it too. RJ is somewhat of a trendsetter too in that unlike some in the fairly recent past (I.e., Emmanuel Mudiay and Brandon Jennings), he was a full qualifier and wasn’t essentially choosing between juco and getting paid.
