Does Brooks have connections overseas as far as recruiting? 

I think both of the Eastern European guys were both assistant coach Charles Harral recruits.

That guy is a complete joke.

Funny thing is Jared blew up last summer playing with Silsbee at the TABC in Duncanville.  But that guy will tell it differently to anyone who will listen.  As if people can’t look at the offers and see when they started to roll in.  He’s such a moron he got his team kicked off the pay to play division of the under Armour circuit (UA Rise - basically told we don’t want your money) because he verbally assaulted Paul Biancardi in Dallas because one of his kids wasn’t ranked in the top 100.  That same kid couldn’t find the floor at TCU and transferred down to Tulsa (which was his level to begin with) after one season.

SEC. 

My guess would be Arkansas, Alabama or UofH.  But he’s been attached to an absolute clown show in the summers so who knows?

I don't care much for Scott Drew but he's been on a good run of sending guards to the NBA.

Saw the Butler kid play a summer league game Sunday and was on the red eye with him that night.  Was very impressed with his game. 

Even those Georgia Bulldogs know:

I haven’t gone back and looked in previous post  but was there any  Buna kids mentioned.

I remember a small guard in late 99s early 2000s

I wanna say Michael McMahon….I could be wrong on that

 

Clayton Allen (Class of 90). Played at D1 at Drake. He was the best of the post-King Cotton guys.  Wanna say he led the state in scoring his senior year at Buna too. 

Congrats to Orangefield (#16 in 3A) Lumberton (#19 in 4A) and Huffman Hargrave (#22 in 4A) for finishing the year in the top 25 in their divisions for the Lone Star Cup!  The Cup represents overall athletic excellence across the board (like the NCAA’s Director’s Cup).  Well done to the athletes at these schools.

The 2017 team had 10 players that played sports at the next level.

Basketball

Adams

Bush

D. McCain

Harris

Tyler

 

Football

Barnes

Jones

Newton

M. McCain

C. Tyler

 

That team was loaded with talent.

Still hard for me to believe Kolten Mackey never played college football. Better than a LOT of kids who did.

That 2017 team was special.  Devon is the best out of Silsbee.Againts Dallas Carter in that championship game he was rebounding, playing defense, making steals, throwing dimes, intercepting dimes, etc.  And he had a star studded team with him: Bush, Adams, Martin, a host of others.

BTW beat FFA.  Or was that BU?   Maybe it was a fluke.  Maybe not.  Like Texas Hoops said, BTW is good, but I feel Silsbee is better.  I think Miller will play, at least I hope so.  If not there are some hungry kids on that team.  Sooner or later some of them will step up.  It happens on all teams every year.

One of the best performances I’ve seen at state on any level.  He refused to let his team loose.  The same could be said for Braelon in that regional final against Yates.  It’s was just an incredible performance where he left everything he had on the floor.  Is this team talented?  Yes.  Have they done anything remotely close to those games?  No.  I guess you can whine about the teams coming out of Dallas or you find a way to beat them. One team did.  One team hasn’t.  End of story.

2017 would have a hard time winning “anything today”…. That’s a big reach

A HUGE reach would be putting it kindly. Some people don’t like being wrong. That’s okay.  The teams Silsbee ran out there the last few years wouldn’t have beaten that Dallas Carter team either.  Or the 2017 Silsbee team either 😉.  And those Yates teams were considerably better than BTW imo.

Without miller? I’m not sure if they get there without him. 
 

regionals maybe 

 

but state idk 

I just don’t think there will be anyone better in the region.  BTW maybe but I still like Silsbee.  
 

However, with or without Miller, the “this group will be better than the Adams, McCain, and Bush teams” statements we were hearing a few years ago hasn’t aged well.  As I suspected then, was clearly nonsense and based more on wishful thinking than anything else.

Silsbee will be better than what we think..

Most of us probably have them as a favorite to go to State.  That’s thinking they will be pretty darn good.

If I just read things correctly, the SEC has had a team in the CWS final every year but 1 since 2008 and 4 times the finalist were both SEC schools.  I knew the conference was dominant, but that's just ridiculous.  

 

No argument here about SEC  baseball being the gold standard and I would agree with you (at least I think you would agree) that the SEC has been more dominant in baseball than football.  Just stating when you add arguably the bluest blood in the country in baseball, the rich get even richer.  

But to give the Cardinal their due, they are the only school in the country that consistently has a better overall athletics department than Texas.  So there is that. (Although recently Texas has gotten the best of them.

Just for the sake of a fun discussion. SEC baseball very well may be the most dominant conference of all NCAA D-1 sports.  Texas has a resume that is one of the tops in all of college baseball, but to claim its them and LSU everyone else is a stretch.   

Not an SEC school, but Stanford could argue they have had a better past 3 to 4 decades than Texas. 4 titles and 3 runner up finishes. 

 

In the last 4 decades, Texas has 3 titles, 5 runner ups and 18 CWS appearances.  And for accuracy sake, Stanford only has 2 nattys period (both in 80s) and 3 runner ups period.   Texas has 6 and 6.  Stanford has a great history but they ain’t Texas.

That certainly helps but if I heard correctly on the broadcast last night, the last 15 seasons has had at least one SEC school playing for the national championship. Pretty common already.

But it’s like adding Kentucky to the ACC or Big 12 in basketball or Ohio St to the SEC in football.  No matter how good the league is, those additions significantly move the needle.  Except in basketball, you have Kentucky, Kansas, UNC and Duke and then everyone else. In baseball, USC obviously have the most titles but in the last 30-40 years, it’s Texas and LSU and then everyone else (in terms of nosebleed blue bloods).

And Booker T Washington beat Dallas Carter by 20 last night what’s up with that.

BTW will be solid again.  Lost some good players but return their best player.  McDermott probably second best player in region behind Harris.  But he’s a big - I will always take the high major guard over the HM big at the HS level.  Usually just way more impactful.  But they will be a test for the Tigers anyway.  
 

As for Carter, I’m hearing WT White had the best recruiting off season. Look out 5A.

Really solid showing by the Lions.

Read about this on a plane last week. Immediately thought of Hagar.

That’s what’s it’s about.  Winning the game.  I’m sure those coaches that actually beat that Silsbee team didn’t complain not one time about Elam.  I sure I’m the heck wouldn’t.  

Good point. 

2 hours ago, BMTSoulja1 said:

Also adding on the way Elam scored his buckets, maybe the opposing team’s coaches should’ve put a defensive game plan in place to stop leak outs and snow birding.  Blame them.  If your team’s player can snowbird and leak out, you’d be a fool not to let him continue to do it.

My guess is they feel the same way I do when I’ve seen it.  Let him and take advantage of his preference to try to score as many points as possible while playing little defense in the half court set and NEVER boxing out.  I’m sure Sutherland and the other coaches like the 5 on 4 concept when they have the ball  

WOS let him do it and still beat the Tigers 2 out of 3 that season.  And their best player outplayed him all 3 times, despite graduating at 17 while his counterpart aged out at 21 before the next fall.

Key words here….  Legitimate argument.  And I did watch that kid’s games.

 

And  about Elam.  Know know about his age situation and how he scored his baskets.  UIL signed off on it so it was what it was.  He scored a ton of baskets, so he also has a legitimate argument no matter how anyone feels about his game or age.  

Just cause you can make up an argument doesn’t make it a good one or a legitimate one.  I’m aware UIL signed off on it.  As long as you are in resource classes (what we used to call special ed), you can be close to drinking age and playing high school sports.  For those that aren’t, you better not turn 19 a couple of weeks before Sept. 1.
