If? Surely you jest. Dikembe Dixon is the real deal, went on an unofficial to UK. Sophomore Montrell is extremely athletic, long and mobile. With a little experience he will be a tremendous player.

That video is from 2012 and most of the guys in the video are gone, #22 Sawyer Williams is playing at Carson Newman and #5 Stone Osborne is playing baseball at University of the Cumberlands. The one returning is soph #23 Carson Williams. They will also have seniors Hunter and Tucker Trenary and Jarrod ball back from last years team.

So does NKU not play an uptempo style?

I would guess that this thread and the one about the other SG player are read by the players and other members of their team. Regarding Randy, I haven't gotten to see him recently but I was very impressed with him in middle school. Strong player and a student of the game. When his friends were playing in the halls during varsity games he was in the stands intently watching and learning. At 13 he had a higher basketball IQ than some varsity coaches I have seen. His biggest problem was getting down on himself if he made a mistake. Really needs to get on a quality AAU team.

Great kid! He is definitely underrated.

May not be pc but you can't argue with statistics and I believe you have hit the nail in the head.

Sawyer transferred to Carson Newman. Their sister is a Thomas More grad so maybe that's where that came from and Carson will be back at Owen County.

Good question.

I think the CCU program is on the rise. They have a great coaching staff. I look for good things to happen in this program over the next few years.

I believe he is about 6'6 now. His older brother, Sawyer, is 6'8 and still growing from what I've been told.

I believe he has also received an offer from Samford a couple weeks ago.

My question also?

What he said.

I'd love to know your motive for stirring up unnecessary trouble.

Team Work, the team that beat Hoop Dreams out, won the tourney. I believe Hoop Dreams played them the closest of any other team in the tourney and I also heard that they won the King James. Based on that I would say that while disappointed in their early departure, Hoop Dreams U15 did not underachieve.

Hoop Dreams did not add anyone and were missing Dow. The team that beat them by 3 is in Final four with their latest victory by 6 over the Houston Defenders. As far as practice goes, yes it would have been nice to have had more practice time but most of the players had extremely busy Junes with school ball and camps. Believe it or not I hear a few of them even went on a vacation.

I have only seen Manimal a few times but was impressed with their team play and the lack of individualism that is seen on many AAU teams. To what do you attribute the change in style? I see that they are going to Eddie Ford. Are NCAA coaches allowed at Eddie Ford? I remember hearing something about some violations and a ban for a year or two.

My thoughts exactly.

How have the teams done thus far in the tourney?

Nevermind. I see now that 15u was not an option at this tourney,

Why did Manimal elect to play up?

Hoop Dreams U15 are 3-0 for a first place finish in their pool. Start bracket play tomorrow.

That was my first guess.

I heard from good authority that he is leaving but time will tell.
