Top Freshman playing Varsity in SETX.


Recommended Posts

My point remains the same. Can't be too many freshmen making impacts on boys varsity teams.

And on another note...if you have a freshman not good enough to start, why have them on varsity


Say he's clearly the 6th best player in your program. And the starting 5 is established as they are older physically built better and overall just better. But the Freshman like stated is also clearly the next best option were one of them to drop due to injury, grades, transfer, or lack of production. Then why would you have that player on JV or Freshman team when he can help you varsity?

You say that like having a good bench on your team doesn't matter or like the starting 5 play the entire time. You can be a bench player, and come in play defense and lock somebody down. Maybe you are a shooter and need a quick 3. Or a couple 3's. Maybe you need rebounds, and you have a big man that might do better than your starter one game.

If they're not good enough to do it the entire time put them on JV. Every minute of a JV game will benefit more than "come off the bench to knock down a 3" in a varsity game. Can't replace game experience.

Trust me I have no problem with the playing of younger kids. If a freshman is as good as a senior...the freshman plays everytime in my opinion. But if they aren't gonna play a lot...give them minutes on JV.

I get what you are saying. But if the freshman comes off the bench and is getting significant minutes, I say ya keep em up there.

At Kelly we can play our players on more than one team. The past few years we have had Freshman players that started and played the entire Freshman or JV game and then came off the bench in the Varsity game. True it's not good for a player to be moved up and just sit the bench the majority of the Varsity game if he isn't playing on another team. But getting him used to the speed of the game at the Varsity level makes him better for his sophomore year. So playing them up is good if they are capable of being productive at the Varsity level. 

 

On the subject of the best Freshman in the area, I believe all of the kids mentioned are making a considerable contribution on their varsity teams. We played against the Cleveland and Woodville and Christian Williams and Jaylon Williams are the real deal. Parquet, Barnes, Sneed and Chatman are playing on much deeper teams in terms of talent and are still contributing. And Sneed has no idea that he is a freshman. That boy plays like he is about to graduate. NO FEAR lol. Jomard Valsin is certainly in this group.

Or the daddy takes the coach out to eat. (oldschool2, you need to catch up with new age basketball). smh :lol:


By the way..it really is funny. And you can call me naive, stupid, outdated...whatever you want. I just refuse to believe. Way I see it..not all cops are corrupt..not all women are bad drivers..and most coaches coach to win.

I can't help it. Check the name...I have too much "old school" to feel otherwise.

I completely disagree....I have yet to meet a good female driver :)

Nice video but Parquet is the best incoming sophomore in SE Texas. Kid played in the regional quarters last year as a freshman with a broken rip and just flat out stepped up against a very good Houston Sterling club. Kid can take the ball to the hole and FINISH but can also pull up and drain the 3. The sky is the limit for this young gun !!

He is a nice player but has some consistency issues.  The rankings will support my post.  One service already has Williams in the top 50 nationally, the only kid in our area on any such list.  But I forgot rankings mean nothing.  Unless you are interested in going to college, of course....

 

But please keep in mind I am a big fan of Eli.  BIG fan.  I just believe right now this kid is a little better.

​Disagree. I watched Parquet and Williams last year. Both are fantastic players but Williams is the better of the two, IMO.

    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
