By the way, the family moved to Dallas from Florida and Florida State was initially considered the front runner for Mikey before he signed with tOSU.  OU was also heavily in the mix.  Will be interesting to follow.

His little brother Mickey had committed to tOSU to play basketball as well.  Mike is a beast - set the Nike Camp Sparq (sp?) record - a series of combine-like drills (vertical leap, 40 yd, shuttle drill) to test overall athleticism.  And this from a LB.  My guess is it will be a school that his father would like Mickey to play basketball at as well.

To weigh in on the current high school situation, as far as pure talent goes, I like the depth of players at Central and Silsbee.  I would probably give the edge to Central but this doesn't necessarily translate to wins.  An example would be how evenly Nederland plays Central with FAR less talent.  With the Toon kid transferring to Nederland, I am not sure that gets any easier for the Jags next year.  He is an upgrade from Coach English's graduating son IMO. 

McCain is a special kid and a great young player and his little brother might end up better.  Future looks bright for Silsbee basketball.  In this age group, watch out for Port Arthur Memorial.  Port Arthur Lincoln 7th grade went undefeated in every boys sport this year and were unscored upon in Football.  I saw a couple of their basketball games and they might have beat any junior high team in this area.  Loaded with talent.
