Earl the Pearl played positions 1-5 for PA Lincoln in the mid-70s.  He beat Moses Malone to win a one-on-one competition at the Seamco Classic, an All-American tournament.  He could drop 50 with his off hand.  I was told he fizzled after high school because of drugs, which would make him one of the all-time wastes of talent.  In HS, though, he was amazing.

David  ( the future Skywalker) Thompson from Chase High School in Shelby, North Carolina in 1971 .  Playoffs against A.L. Brown High from Kannapolis., the home of Dale Earnhardt.  Thompson  had it all.  Soft jumper , ball handling , and of course the skying.  And I still believe the best the ACC ever had . Yes, better than that Carolina guy, on the shoes .

Who is the best, strictly at the HS level player you have ever seen?

Food for thought, please share your personal opinions.

What da-aaaa!!!!  Elmer Bennett from Bellaire!!! That was 1988? Oh yeah it was because I seem to remember the kid from this area (Sweet) was on the team too. Man that dude (Bennett) was so smooth and very legit and Norte Dame bound.  But Eddie Owens from Wheatley 1973 OR 74 (UNLV) was very legit, but maybe too young for yall to know.

    • I will never understand why someone cares what decisions a family makes regarding their own child? Maybe Joe Burrow learns great life lessons from burning up all his eligibility sitting behind Justin Fields at Ohio State but I’m sure him and his family feel like they made the right decision by transferring to LSU, becoming the #1 pick and now being the highest paid QB in NFL history. Same for Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts at their first stops.    I think it was more beneficial for Reggie Branch to transfer to Crosby and end up having an opportunity to play for a state title versus staying at GCM and learning life lessons while he loses and probably doesn’t go D1 because his team is a perennial loser. If Robinson throws for 2k yards this year it’s going to be a lot better for his recruitment purposes than sitting on the bench at BH, not to mention he’s going to get significant looks because of the kids he’s on the team with and the offers/commitments they’ve already made. He’s not being taught to run from competition, he’s being taught to gamble on himself just like all those other guys I mentioned did. 
    • You have found Utopia. I live in the real world.
    • Every Yuppie wants one.  Give me a V-8 with loud pipes, and they can have their electric vehicles.  Was working a major incident one day and we had a road blocked off.  Police vehicles with lights going and a kid pulls up in a Tesla.  He - let me stress that HE is sobbing uncontrollably because he is at 5% battery life and HAS to go down the road we have blocked to get to a charging station.  He pulled over and literally threw a temper tantrum because we would not let him through.  
    • Have you noticed that it's always the libs that bring up race?  For a long time now whenever a lib is losing an argument or have nothing else to say they bring up racism.  Or something silly like institutional racism.  LOL!
    • Ha!  Whatever that means!
