They have one. Not at that level. But Jabari is doing just fine 😉

It will all be there. If you can get a couple blue bloods fighting each other, hell he might be able to retire after college! But yes - let’s just worry about Furr for now.

Yes. Ironically, he got most of his offers after playing with Silsbee in Duncanville last summer. In this day and age, to have the amount of offers he has is almost unheard of not playing with a sneaker team. NCAA setting that up last year gave him an enormous amount of steam. Texas and many others offered after watching the Tigers play a few high level opponents in D’ville. He deserves every bit of it. Kid can absolutely go.

And I believe next year is when all 13 UNC scholarship players will have a base of $1M per year. You can bet the Kentucky’s and Kansas’ of the world won’t be far behind. So it could be worth closer to $2M (with the actual scholarship) if he plays his cards right.

That’s on top of the scholarship. Have two kids that signed with Kansas and will be in the freshman class next fall. Both are top 100 and one is ranked lower in his class (in the 70s or 80s depending on the service) than Harris. I’m pretty familiar with the state of NiL money in Lawrence. So make that scholarship worth 1.2 to 1.5 million. That’s assuming Jared gets what the going rate is. On the other hand, some that are around him let’s just say might be a little suspect and might have their hand out too (NOT his family). So I’m speculating in that regard.

That’s worth anywhere from 500-800k. Maybe more by his class.

I’m going to go ahead and ask it but does anyone else think Davis is the most underrated coach in SETX? I understand we are blessed to have 4 absolute legends who are locks to be Hall of Famers. And then you have guys like Foster and English who are as good as it gets too. But Clay’s teams win 25-30 games a year consistently. And I seem to see more criticism than praise for him on here. In a region incredibly blessed in terms of HS basketball coaches, he deserves to be in the conversation of the great coaches here.

No doubt.

Look we all want Kountze to be back. I’ve said before SETX basketball is better when the Lions are good. But for point of reference, since Orangefield has dropped down, I think they are like 5-1 against Kountze and the 5 wins have all been beat downs, including two 20+ pieces this year. So to have 2 of the 4 superlatives go to a team that couldn’t even make the top half of the district is a little laughable. Surely someone in that room felt that way. And maybe no one wanted to speak up and tell Joub his team just wasn’t very good.

No I really believe nekkid pictures were circulating at the all district meeting 🙄

This is why Silsbee and other SETX teams such as United and Memorial have had such great success against Houston teams that are arguably more talented. It is also why Houston teams struggle, in general, against teams from the metroplex. I’ve watched arguments on here for years about facilities, etc. But as has always been the case in sports, very often it comes down to the toughest kids win. Mentally, physically, whatever. And Silsbee will be the toughest team at that regional.

Bingo

Very good points all around. As stated earlier, Perrault has to get a superlative. Disrespectful to the kid imo.

All of that ^

Look these things are a train wreck these days more often than not. But Perrault has the biggest gripe of anyone. Which in itself is shocking. The Kountze kid over Scales is pretty laughable too. The real question is who all does Joub have compromising pictures of??

More importantly, hopefully they get the College Station chapter. One of the two best in the state imo.

Washington unless someone loses their mind.

You could make a case for Perrault, Ragusa or Sells for MVP. I agree with you and would have voted Pete but I’m very biased. Sells had an incredible year but I would not have made a kid on a non-playoff team MVP (as you state) but that’s me. I almost prefer this to making the 3 of them “Co’s” which is what I expected. Scales not being newcomer seems ludicrous but I don’t know who got it for sure. And I haven’t seen enough games to get too vocal about it. But from you and many who did see every team, Scales seemed like a no brainer for that honor.

Huge key. Being one of the biggest 3A school vs the very smallest 4A school (which they have been more than once) is an ocean’s worth of difference. If they move up, they are fighting for playoffs spots vs fighting for district championships.

Was just a fantastic season for the Bobcats. They tied the deepest playoff run and were one win off tying the record for wins in a season (playing one less game than the team who has said record). I think if OF stays 3A, they will surpass both of those records in the next few years. I don’t think they will be quite as good next year with what they lost but the next two after that could be special. And they have some really good athletes in Jr High right now winning district championships. I would say the future is bright for Coach McDonald and company.

Yes indeed. When I saw they had 13 turnovers and were only down 6 at half, my thought was “only being down 6 giving it up that many times is almost shocking.” And if they could clean that up in the 2nd half they had a real shot. But as you say, a lot of that has to do with that Tiger defense. Still, a great job by Clay and staff preparing them, and a great season by the Hawks. Now we can all root for Tigers, Titans and Timberwolves.

Graduating 7, 3 starters.

Great season Cats! Heckuva run.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Go Cats!
