Flagrant on Boyd. Clipped Miguez on his way up for a dunk. Nederland up 26-14 after free throws. 5:31 left second 

I'm in the building sitting up top behind Ozen bench with the WOS Hat on

No doubt in my mind they're the favorite.  As they should be.  But remember...they lost the title game last yr to a team that most likely has zero college basketball players.  See what I'm getting at?
And...um...false.  "wants to play bad enough" unfortunately will not get you on a college roster.  As an ex college player of 4 years, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I accomplished something that can not be accomplished by simply "wanting it bad enough".  Lot of things in play here.    

I can answer that. He did not. His team is not a shoe team and a lot of times you will not get the looks you may want, even though you deserve, if you don't play for them. I think the thing with Angel is probably defending D1 Point guards because that's what he'd be at the D1 level. Just ones opinion though. Angel is a special shooter though. 

The Nederland summer league can only get a kid noticed so much

EYBL = Nike
UAA = Under Armour
Gauntlet = Adidas
Those are the so-called "shoe circuits" and you have to have a sponsorship from the companies to compete in their events for the most part.  They all have events during the open periods, and often Under Armour and Nike have theirs in close proximity (last year one weekend was Louisville and Lexington; their finals were on back to back weekends in Georgia - Atlanta and Augusta).   Therefore, this is where the majority of the schools will be watching during those periods.   At the UAA finals in Atlanta last summer, there were over 300 coaches in attendance, generally with about 8 games going on at once.   If you were playing, you had a full coaching section, regardless of the game.
i know HS coaches like their kids playing together and it does pay off for the schools.   You're just not going to get much exposure in those loops.
 

Ask a lot of former WOS players and they will tell you yes. The QB who records he broke (Jimmy Salter) has said it many times on social media that Dallas is and he certainly has the stats to prove it. Holding all major passing statistics records at WOS. 

Fist of all, Angel is a fine player and will play college basketball somewhere.  He’s a great young man with great character and a strong academic record.  That being said, people fail to realize that recruiting is so much more than being good enough.  Recruiting is about being good enough, fitting the need of the university, fitting the style of play of the coach, meshing with the coach, getting seen, and finally the coach deciding that the particular player is his number one target.  So many coaches now are more concerned with fitting a particular physical profile as opposed to established skill set.  Most coaches would rather a 6’4” freakishly athletic kid with potential over a 6’1” kid, not very athletic, and an already established skill set.  Recruiting has changed to the point now that just playing AAU is not enough.  If you want to get noticed, you have to play on the right team and lots of times that is not enough.  You better be playing on a team that either has a player that is already being recruited or will play against players that are already being recruited.  That’s the only guarantee to get seen on the summer circuit.  Your AAU team can play in the biggest tournaments out there but, if you are off in some side gym the whole weekend then odds are you are not where the college coaches (DI at least) are.

As for Angel being able to play at Lamar or Sam Houston, that is another mistake that lots of people make.  Look at the Bosha kid from HJ for example.  He is the school’s all time leading scorer, arguably one of the best to come through there and he is barely touching the floor at Lamar.  On top of that, he is 6’5” and long and rangy.  To say any kid should have already received offers at this point in their senior year is not accurate.  Most smaller schools (NAIA, DII, DIII) will do the majority of their signings in the spring time of a player’s senior year.  That is when those schools are most active.  Heck, there are not a whole lot of schools period that are out recruiting heavily right now.  It is the heart of conference play, they are only out there if scheduling works out.

Recruiting is like selling a home.  You can put your home on the market for $200,000 but, if the best offer you get is $150,000 then that is what the market says your house is worth.  And if you don’t get any offers then unfortunately, then you may not sell your house.

Angel has a great coach who, I have no doubt, is working very hard to help him in any way possible.  People also must understand that the recruiting process is a group effort.  It is not just the high school coach’s responsibility, it is not just the parent’s responsibility, nor is it just the AAU coach’s responsibility.  It is everyone’s job to work together to do what is best for the kid and then let the chips fall where they may.  

Once he gets to college and starts lifting weights and eating right he will be able to take his game to another level. Its amazing the number of small school coaches that dont see the benefits of the weight room. You MUST lift weights to be able to play and compete at the next level. 

Why is everyone obsessed with the D1 title?  To me if a kid is blessed enough to play at any level and get it paid for then what else can you ask for?  

seems like his game is similar to Lamar's Nick Garth..  
 

only QB to be better than Jack would be Andre Bevil and MAYBE Dillon Sterling Cole. the rest weren't true QB for WOS. but since you wanna use STATS, Jack pretty has EVERY passing at WOS with another year to go.

Wow,  why did Nederland score so many points on Vidor?? 

Buna wins 97-34

Much like this year, the 8th grader at Legacy would instantly be one of the best players on the team.  There is no way he doesn't go straight to varsity IMO.  

Welcome to the board lol

I really hate that happen to Mike J.(Great Kid friend of my kid) If that was my child I wouldn't have had any understanding. I don't know about you'll but I would do a LIFE SENTENCE BEHIND MINE. This stuff like this that's why I wait on my kid. We all would've been fighting

Well everyday except that Friday night Jack Dallas beat Dontre Thomas in Silsbee. 

Dallas threw 3  tds to Dontres 1 and had about 30 more yards. Kicked the xps in the game and had 2 pancake blocks. Dontre threw a pick and Jack did not. Dontre had 17 rushes for 122 yards and 3 tds. Dallas had 2 for 43 and two tds. And won by 21 paints. I'd say he outgunned him that game. 

If JD doesn't win on the offensive side it's a travesty... Video game numbers can be put up by a lot of good athletes... State Championships are a different story... I've seen JD play several times and even stated this year after WOS put it on PNG, that JD is at a different level than AM was... To me he is the kind of kid that gets in the huddle and says, get ready, because we are going to put this thing in high gear... It's not about video game numbers, it's about wins... A true leader, athlete, will take you to the dance.... Nothing against any of these other candidates, but the proof is in the pudding......

It is my understanding that you are about to witness several.

As though anyone consults this board when making a decision on where to attend school.

If Jones comes back it'd be a done deal. Y'all are in the market for a starting qb also. 

I see that and raise you a Bush and Jones for Silsbee.

Good point swamp, but you must remember that Silsbee's JV team has 3 kids that would start for most Varsity teams in the district right now. Plus, their 8th grade group has 2 kids that will contribute on varsity next season. And IF the 8th grader from Legacy was to come back home to Silsbee next season, it will be even scarier. HJ is always going to be competitive because of their coaches and their system, just like Nederland in my opinion. Silsbee just has an extreme depth that is not normal for 4a basketball. I stated a couple years ago that starting this season, Silsbee will be extremely strong for 5 years. Even after that, the Silsbee little dribblers program is producing some pretty impressive talent at all ages. Now, with all of that being said. HJ has a very talented 7th grade group this year. They are special and will be a solid solid group in HS. This game will always be big because of the true passion the kids and fans put into it!
