Since we seem to be moving this to a Central vs Ozen discussion, I think shooting from the perimeter won't be the deciding factor. Although Cody and Arceneaux will the best shooters on the floor, defense will determine the outcome. Central has a lot of length to try and pass around. And if you take it to the cup, the Nigerian nightmare will greet you at the door. And every one that thinks Parish or any other big is going to draw him out on the perimeter is wrong. They aren't shooting threats from outside. He will camp out in the paint. 

Not yet...

Can't compare either duo because they play different positions. Ozen's duo are a 2 guard & PG, Central's has 2 versatile SF/big guards that cause mismatch problems. Ozen has the better guards, Central has the better versatile mismatch tandem. Neither of Central's tandem are great ball handlers, nor knockdown shooters, but they are so athletic & problematic for other teams;very capable of running the offense if asked to do so. Ozen lack's size at the guard position, rebounding will be a very big problem VS the Jags(can't teach size). It will be very interesting to see the cat & mouse game played between the Coaches. I know what I would do, but nobody wants to hear that.  Lol

If you saw me and OF's rants, I've always been high on Comeaux.  I talked him up all year despite others stating that he wasn't that good.  I also took notice that he balled out in that state title game while 'others' didn't show up at all.  Go back and read.  True story.  
 
And skill set is more than knocking down. The three.  Central has 2 seniors, one of them is a 4 year starter and the other one should have been a 4 year starter had it not been to 'politics'.  
Skill set.  You say basketball is your first love, I respect that, but you should know that these two seniors have a high skill set to go along with experience and size.  That's why they got many college offers.  Ozen's Sneed is a good one, but he's just a sophomore and is currently vertically challenged...  Not taking anything away from Ozen, but Central's duo isn't equal to Ozen's...

He's blocking everything within 12 feet from the basket. Period

One thing I thought was funny was the criticism that he can't guard anyone on the perimeter.  If he is being asked to guard someone on the perimeter, something is wrong, even a man to man set (which Central likes to play).  If a high school team can put 5 on the floor that shoot the lights out, God bless 'em (although Big Sandy might be able to).  If I'm coaching the Jags, he has at least one foot in the lane at all time on the defensive end.  If you are going to take it to the bucket, you go through 7-3 to get there.  And Nijal and TJ will be the first to tell you from practice that it is much easier said than done. 

What about the 3rd 5?  If Sigler has the better sophomores up, he will have 10 on the bench.

Well that means yall better double-check the time.

Just saw where it was AAW that put 10 AM on the scrimmage results thread

Okay so what you are telling me he is not as good as Shaq, but he might still play point guard.
 
Only joking, there will probably never be another 7 foot point guard. As long as he is athletic like Porzingas and not another Shawn Bradley, he should help Central.

I hear ya. But some families are pretty close. If I had to move away, my son would come with me. That's my best friend

They probably don't have the basketballs aired up yet. Lol

It was tough to even pick the PG position because there are no true PG's in the area. Boyd will  have to play the position but is really more of a 2 or 3 guard. The list would have been easier to fill out if positions weren't involved

No jokes sir.  Strictly forbidden once the scrimmages start...

I dint think it was a serious question. Obviously Pearson and TJ will be the leaders on and off the court. I assume TxHoops thought the same. And since when did this become such a serious board? 

Have you guys looked at HJ's schedule?  The days of the Hawks eating mostly cake before district are apparently long gone. 

Just goes to show its difficult to make chicken salad out of chicken $#&T

thank you you answered my earlier question so yes since both those top teams go to the championship bracket it really makes no difference.  That pool game doesn't mean much if they both end up in that championship bracket,  well except for maybe fresh legs or mental toughness!!

With that said, this tourney has four 4 team pools. The top two in each pool go to gold bracket (championship) the 3rd place pool team goes to silver bracket and remaining team in pool goes to bronze bracket.
So, even with Big Sandy and Nederland in same pool, they both could possibly (and most likely) advance to Gold (Championship) bracket play.
It's all good.

Ahhh, yes.  A voice of reason surfaces.

The goals were too high. Think someone set them at 13 ft  

oh I know that bunch will but it will be a game that would definitely benefit all  of them! 

The only accurate statement in the entire text was "you will see". SMH

Huge addition, no pun intended. 

Ha!  I think he might still be a little in this area because I don't think a lot of people see him.  He's not anymore outside this area for sure.  He got moved to the point this summer and put on an absolute show.  With his strength and build, combined with his ball handling and vision, he had a lot of people talking.  I can tell you a couple of high D1 coaches who are fans.  
The beauty for Kelly is Tevin has really improved at the 1 and they can use Valsin elsewhere (he's one of those kids that you can plug in at 4 different spots).  Saw Tevin play recently a couple of times and couldn't believe how much he's improved at running an offense.  I know a wingnut on here who will tell you it's coaching
