ESPN has a camera crew and reporters here at the All A, from what I was told, they are doing a story on the Cordia Lions program...........30 for 30 here we come.

 

Those interviewed so far from what I heard/saw....Rod Rhodes, Ron Dawn, Stan Steidel, & Alice Whitaker.

What could Cordia provide for ESPN? Thats crazy

I'd imagine an E:60 is more likely.

That's sounds far more likely. Hard to imagine the same series going from OJ Simpson to Cordia Basketball.

Zach Pangallo's dad was even interviewed I'm told......no matter what ESPN show it ends up on, it should be a very interesting watch.

Ask Donnie Tyndall how these types of programs work out.

Lions only lose one player, Runner up in 2014, sit out 2015, Champs in 2016, Lost 1st round 2017, 2018 ? Maybe ESPN helps them fill their stable with a couple of Studs ??

Did they win the Big Dance? There isn't enough of a positive story here to make an interesting E60. I guess it would be a great tool to help some more kids get out of a bad situation. :sssh:

Good points, guys. We should only do stories on teams that win championships.

 

I'd imagine the story here is a sizable number of black players moving to a tiny mountain school to play for a former Kentucky player and the resulting fallout. In a time when high school basketball is dominated by transfers, AAU, and prep schools, I'd imagine this story would be relevant for people across the country.

They better hope the story reports from the ground up.
