I remember this kid from Seneca last year.

Helped win District over Trinity. REALLY nice player.

Totally forgot until this morning OC was supposed to have Louie Tucker this year.  He moved to Seneca last year from somewhere out west, his uncle is Buddy Hield, or so I hear.  Played with Oldham through the summer - then moved back home to England.  He played for the Great Britain U18 team in the U18 European Championship, and from this graphic I just saw, is leading the England EABL in scoring.  6'5.  Pretty good.  Now, he's ball dominant, and Max is ball dominant, so I don't know how that would have worked.  But more players is better.....

Hummm, this deal kind of has a smell to it.

I guess that’s why he moved home.

When I first read it I thought it was a term of endearment and I really like it too. 

It's actually a team in my fantasy league I run.  I'm guessing that's why it's saved into my phone.

Sometimes the predictive text on my phone cracks me up.  Imagine how it will be soon when AI takes hold.  We will have some good years until the machines start dictating to us. 

DyNasty is the one time I’m happy predictive texting malfunctioned, because it was funny!

@ColonelMikeI'm watching the game right now.  Screen said charge battery pack do I made sure my PC was plugged in.  A few minutes later it happened again so I plugged into a different outlet.  A minute later you mentioned it was your camerman's battery. ? 

Good old camera #2.

It wasn't actually the battery - we don't run anything on battery.    The AC adaptor shorted out, and the warning was telling us that the camera was now "running on battery" (meaning it no longer was getting power from the AC adapter)

Yep, saved by camera 2.....  LOL.....

We have replaced the adapter and will have both cameras up tomorrow.

Sorry we kept you hopping!  LOL!

In what way?

Kid moving from school to school in the US and then leaving the country.  You don't smell anything?

Kids moving school to school is not anything new. It almost seems commonplace anymore.

Going back home for a year before coming back stateside to play college OR turn professional doesn’t really move the needle for me.

Each person has their own reasons for doing what they do.

Well, could be, I’m not sure.  One hand, we all know youth basketball is known as a cesspool for good reason. Other hand, as Falcon says above, kids moving around is just the normal thing now. I can’t speak at all about how he got from where ever he was to Seneca - at the time it was viewed as simple luck.  But who knows.  And going back to England was just explained as a chance to play for his national team, which seems reasonable.  Again, who knows.  I do know that he factored heavily into OC’s plans for this season, and since they only had 3 kids they could count on to score basically at all, he would’ve made a difference I think.

I see Tyler Klein has 3 early threes for DeSales today.  Another OC kid - transferred at Christmas of his Junior year, I believe.  You wonder if he would’ve stayed had he known Z was retiring……
