Nets Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Any idea where The Big Three may end up on the college level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterx3 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hey Shooter, how is the Derek Smith All Star coach holding up? Two nailbiters in two days has to be tough on the guy. I just talked to him, he said this is pretty normal activity for this bunch of "cardiac kids" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterx3 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Any idea where The Big Three may end up on the college level? Evan has a firm d-1 offer on table, Ethan and Ferg are getting very serious d-1 conversation. I would say two game winners on this stage will really increase Ethan's stock, the kid just wins. One coach described Ferg as the best shooter he has seen this summer. May come down to how far they want to go away from home and their fan base. Still way too early for the offers to come in. September will tell the tale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pg80 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Congrats to Evan for the offer. Any details on what D-1 college is offereing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slick Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think I remember somebody saying something about Gardner Webb, but I don't remember which one of Elliott players they were after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Mania Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Evan has a firm d-1 offer on table, Ethan and Ferg are getting very serious d-1 conversation.

May come down to how far they want to go away from home and their fan base. Still way too early for the offers to come in. September will tell the tale Shooter is right. They will have many offers this fall into early Winter. Sandy Hook Gym will have some foreigners invading the little town in December with the locals having that puzzled look that says, "You ain't from around here are you?" Don't know if they will end up D-I, D-II, D-III, or D-73, but whoever gets them gets some super players and even better young men. And just in case there are still some naysayers out there, yes they can all three play D-1 irregardless where they end up. Happy at G-Town is ready to sign all three yesterday. Georgetown may not be D-1, but they have had a bunch of D-1 players through the years and a tradition that is up there with the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterx3 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) DS ends their Las Vegas run with a tough loss to a good Minnesota team. Leonard Macon was from another planet tonight as he had 31 points with 17 free throws. Just didn't get enough help. Ferg was missed tonight Next stop Los Angeles for the Best of Summer tournament.

wildcatfan Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Shining Stars McFarland U16 went 3-3 in the AAU Showcase. Looks like all three losses were pretty close games. That's not bad considering they were missing 3 of their 4 tall players. They start pool play in the national championship tournament tomorrow against Albany City Rocks, who were runners up in the Gold bracket of the showcase. It looks like things don't get any easier for them, but hopefully all of the KY teams will do well and get make it to the championship bracket out of pool play. I heard one of their big guys might be back for this tournament. Congrats to Team Loyalty U16 from Louisville who finished as runners up in the Silver Bracket at the showcase. I would like to see more of the KY talent combined from multiple teams to be able to compete even better against national teams. There is plenty of talent in KY and no need to pick up players from other states unless you are looking for good 6'9 to 6'11 post players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterx3 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 As an example of the level of competition the DS team is facing out there, the Grass Roots Canada team is in the Semi-finals tomorrow, after beating Team Philly in the quarter-finals. Team Philly beat Indiana Elite to get there. Team Philly was beaten at Morgantown Jamfest by the DS team. The Las Vegas Prospects are also in the semi-finals and they beat the DS team in Cincy it takes five by 2. Hard to compare scores, but it gives you some idea of how well this DS team has been representing the state and the strength of their schedule. Somebody quoted Pittino as being "surprised" that a Kentucky team could beat the Canadians. ! These boys have "represented":thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
