    Either way, a great player (at any level) is bound to have a subpar quarter or game. The GOAT (MJ) once scored 6 points in a game, which means he scored 0 in one of those quarters, possibly 2 Qs.
    I can remember a game I played in HS when Brian English scored 0 points in the first half, then scored 29 in the 2nd half. How do you assess these examples?
     
    Serious question: Have you ever played competitive basketball? If so, then I guarantee you had a bad quarter or a bad game. Does that mean you aren't a 'talented player' ? Hardly.
    Interesting that you claimed (earlier this year) that you would make your 'own assessment' on his play once you saw him play against 'the big 3'. So far, he has done pretty well, yet you don't see what everyone else on this board PLUS D1 Major college recruiters see. Are you a college recruiter? It's okay to swallow your pride and just admit that you're wrong. Of course you are entitled to your own opinion, but the cheese stands alone in this case.....

    TxHoops you warned me lol not it’s my turn why bother some live inside a house with no windows it’s pointless to tell them it’s light outside they will always argue and say it’s dark. With that said maybe these coaches at these schools know something about basketball Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Houston,Lamar have offered I’m sure they see his talent level and not just how many he score on a hs or summer level...ijs

    As i stated to Mr.Shapiro kids or parents cannot get in their feelings. 15 Man roster for varsity that’s it , 12-15 for both JV A/B,same for freshman. The true question is how many of the those kids are varsity level players especially if you a junior on jv aometimes the writing is on the wall not for all but for some it is. The truth is unless kids are putting in the work during the summer they will get left behind period point blank. I hear ppl talking about scholarships how many guys have earned a scholarship from all 3 Bmt schools in the last 5 yrs. if you do a breakdown it seems like a lot but you can be fooled by so called talent. Last year only 3 kids from any of the Bmt schools went on to play college ball. Here is a very harsh reality about HS . No matter how many points certain players score, it may not ever translate in to playing  Juco,NAIA,D1,D2 or D3.  Ppl may not like it, but it’s the absolute truth.

    You can play any defense when it’s done right....held a team that normally scores 75-80 to 59pts ,I’m not a mathematician but that’s well below Memorials average. Ozen lost this game because they missed 10-12 layups and 13 free throws .. ijs that sounds like a recipe for a loss right there. Oh and memorial shot 6/18 from 3. guess the zone worked pretty good on team that averages 12 makes a game from there

    Ozen's in a much better place now, IMO. Looked poor for most of Gamble but is starting to figure it out a bit. Have to remember Ozen was missing two players w/ the flu during Gamble and two to injury (one being Jones). Definitely a young team that needs to learn a lot about winning, however. Those last four minutes vs. Nederland were awful. No way around it. Oliver's a stud - one of the area's best players.

    Were you at the same game,they only had 8 turnovers for the game . Nederland got back into the game because of 10 missed free throws down the stretch. If this is the weakest Ozen team ,guard play Etc etc how does Nederland lose by double digits then. Ozen have one starter playing from last year ,4 new players starting on varsity for the time I think they are doing pretty well. Sweep your own porch before you try and seeep someone else’s

    Yes you are very correct Aggie as we were watching them play things were very bad from the standpoint we have never seen it like this but as you said things have changed Coach Thomas and his staff have done a great job of making adjustments. Sometimes you have to weed out negative energy and it took a minute but i believe they are on the right track. The kids there have bought in now and are playing hard ,I keep saying every year Ozen has talent might now be the big sexy names of others but they are there. Keep grinding  Panthers ...

    No because again Soulja it’s apples and oranges the talent level on the summer circuit isn’t even comparable to high school ,one is the projection of where you will play on the next level compared to what is being asked of you to help your team win which means playing out of position. Kid plays the 4 he’s not even close to that but he does it with no complaints he just plays the game the correct way. Ask any coach in this district would they love to have him the answer is yes. Unfair to compare him to kids of the past from Nederland those guys had very good players around them.

    Jones is out for the year with an acl tear , The Panthers are just playing great team ball especially the last 4 games. All eggs don’t hatch on the same day and goals aren’t accomplished in November & December. Hefner is a very good player who deserves his respect he can score in a variety of ways kid has it . Anyways I’ll 3-0 over 0-3 right now ,on to the next one .
