[Gee Davis]

I've read several posts of individuals concerned with Jaylan Ballou.  So here's a highlight reel of 1st team all league and unanimously selected league MVP, Jaylan Ballou...enjoy!

Now, great highlights.  Good that he improved because his shot looks to be better.  But I see that this kid is benifitting greatly from horrible defense (or competition, lack of) and what appears to be a really tall kid that was the recipient of many of those lob passes and easy dump offs....

[Gee Davis]

After ur assessment...what was he supposed to do...pick his teammates and opponents?

No, he isn't.  It was just an honest nonbiased observation. I'm  glad the kid got better because his shooting was one of the weaker parts of his game, but looks like that 3 ball is 'water' now.

The kid's been living there for 4 months and playing with those guys for 3...he did a great job adjusting

Ms. Davis, just curious but what is the next step for Jaylan. Will he be heading back this way to go to school or probably stay out west?

[Gee Davis]

Ms?

[BLUEDOVE3]

Mr. Davis, sorry for the confusion.

[Gee Davis]

He has several academic and athletic offers...he didn't have any athletic offers while here

So wait, you're saying they DIDN'T pick his teammates and competition? I believe they did exactly that. Hence the reason for moving.

[Gee Davis]

Oh you were misinformed...he didn't move in order to attend a basketball academy of choice...his mother was relocated due to her job...the school isn't Oak Hill or St Patrick

Geez, let's try this...congrats to the kid on a fine senior season and best of luck going forward...glad to see he had a successful senior campaign

Maybe I am misinformed. I could swear that what was said on here when he moved is that it was for college recruiting purposes.

[Gee Davis]

I'm sure a lot of false information was said on here...it's a forum...that's usually what's on here...I just choose to speak facts and stay away from the gossiping

[Gee Davis]

Just got some great news...will update once it's official

No joke

[Dick Vitale]

Why are folks being so salty about this kid?

[Gee Davis]

4 years of stuff you'd just shake ur head it...the more things change...the more they stay the same 

[Dick Vitale]

I'm laughing at these amateur analysis from guys that 1) NEVER played, 2) Never COULD play, 3) not to even mention trying to be a COACH 4) and ESPECIALLY not qualified to evaluate ANY kid....SMH...I guess you're right, Gee....the more things change, the more they do stay the same.....LOL
