BLUEDOVE3

I have a question and I'm not trying to favor any side on this one: Are there other D-1 schools after the local talent? Your high school talent does not always flow with what college coaches are looking for. And if they do sign a local talent, does this mean the attendance will go up?

Central is very talented, but every team have their weaknesses. As each team advances in playoffs, the comp gets a bit harder. And it gets harder for a reason.....But you do make sense.

Sounds like Nederland could use him on varsity :-\

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1366221" timestamp="1358981228"] Not weak, just very thin...The number one PG in the country in 2013 comes from Houston, TX...Andrew Harrison. [/quote]Nah, I meant after them---thin as you say.

My point being is that the recruiting class for 2013 (in Texas) is considered weak for point guards, according to some "experts."

[quote name="bmtcpa87" post="1366128" timestamp="1358961822"] After watching Taylor play last night, I have to agree with Dickie, he is a good solid player but not an elite type talent.  For Texas to compete at a high level, they need to get higher level players.  Texas problem is if they get Frazier and/or Randle, but Kabongo(sp?) goes pro, Felix is running the point again with Taylor as the back up.  Feliz isn't an elite level player either.  To make it all work they need an elite level point guard. [/quote] When you break down your 2013 recruiting class for point guards (in Texas), you may see the answer. ;)
