[/quote] ;D Yes I know [/quote] But, if we get that far, you never know what might happen. There is something to be said for being in a position that allows one to hope. If my memory is correct, these same type of comments were being expressed/espoused by the enlightened last year.  Cleveland had too much talent, too much depth, and too much athleticism.  In the end, though, HJ had too many points. [/quote]I think Cleveland's "tougher" schedule will get them over the hump. I've heard some Houston teams were running from them this year. But you know how rumors are ;)

[quote name="stevenash" post="960479" timestamp="1296743168"] The thing that impresses me the most about Mr. Bosha is a special ability of his.  I am not speaking of running, shooting,dribbling, passing, jumping, etc.  I refer to his ability/willingness to adapt to the system that his school/coaches prescribe.  I consider that a serious ingredient in the talent/ability appraisals.  He probably isnt the fastest guy, probably isn't a fantastic one on one player(not yet) and may not jump the highest.  At the same time, I believe he has a very high basketball intellect(fully grasps the team concept) and is one of a few who believes that if he "plays within himself" it may not be as exciting to watch to some, but it will help him to, over time, become a very special player.  The great majority of his on court decisions are very good and he has very few turnovers. I just happen to believe there is a lot more to this than ones ability to "shake and bake" and "look" impressive when you play.  Few appreciate his ability to get his hands on numerous passes by the opposition because it doesnt show up in the stats.  His attitude and his desire to improve give him an edge over a lot of players.  Ray Allen has NO individual moves and isn't going to beat ANY of his defenders one on one.  At the same time, I can't count how many games he has won for the Celtics by adapting to their system and applying his strengths to situations prescribed by the coaches.  Allen Iverson had all kinds of "great moves" and drew many Oohs and Ahhs but never won a championship and got traded numerous times. I think Mr. Bosha is on a very good path and believe there are plenty of rewards for same in the future.  Good luck to him. [/quote]Such a politician. :D

23-5A Travis High- one player committed to Iowa. Harrison twins- can go to any MAJOR D-1 college  they  desire Bush: defending State Champs..again Major D-1 talent. And I ain't talking about SFA, McNeese, etc. Hightower Dulles whew-wwww! Elkins...oh let me stop. I could go on. Tough district

You are so worried about Bosha, throw out stats for your boys then we can talk about Bosha. There will always be someone better than someone else. And for the record, he has played against players all over Texas. Before the season started he was ranked #52 (based on his 8th grade stats). I'm sure by now that number has gone down. Who cares who the best freshman is anywhere? He just goes out and plays he game without comparing himself to others. Either you like him, or you don't. Either you like his game, or you don't. If you like him fine and if you don't, hey that's fine too. Trust we are not losing sleep in the Bosha household. As a matter of fact he will be traveling to Pennsylvania this summer to play with some of the best in the nation! Dang! The kid is 14. Back off!!! CONCENTRATE ON YOURS, THEN MAYBE WE CAN DISCUSS MINE. [/quote]I'm not saying anything about your son. My point is this: It don't matter wgat [/quote]Can anyone tell me why Dove is getting picked on with this thread? He hasn't said anything bad about Bosha (at least not on these forums) He's getting chastised for giving his opinion on a thread that asks for peoples opinions on whether Bosha is the best Freshman. Now, I disagree with Dove on........ well, nearly everything.  But that doesn't mean I need to jump him for disagreeing. [/quote] :D

It is agreed that Bosha is a good player, with tons of potential. Has anyone else gone out and seen some of the other good freshman players to compare them?   Or is your opinion based on just watching Bosha's play alone? Just curious if people are out comparing. [/quote] If we get real honest here, these are all opinions.  I would bet a dollar to a doughnut that nobody from around here has been all around the state watching the best freshmen playing.  It is very unlikely that anyone on this board has any ability to DOCUMENT that Bosha is one of the best freshmen and EQUALLY unlikely that anyone can DOCUMENT than he isn't.
