New bold prediction or maybe not. After hearing Evadale 30 popped HJ and EC this summer, I'm saying Coach Wilkins has the Rebels back in the 2a state tournament mix. I don't know how the last couple of guys there didn't win, but Wilkins will definitely get it done.

My west orange guy says that kid lives in LCM district. He also said lcm coaches have been trying to get him over there for years. Whole thing was strange with him transferring to lcm mid season and then the running back doing the same.

Are you saying that good players transferring to LCM get denied, but at other local schools they'd be cleared to play?

No way thats true. Why would that kid just move back to West Orange after sitting all of last year?

I don't know any of the Buna players from the 60's, but they won like six state titles. I would imagine they had a couple guys better than Kreston Richardson (no disrespect as I've never seen or even heard of him). Rumor has it the days of Buna as a power are over and coaches are desperately trying to get out of there.

Bush/Adams/McCain were three compared to Miller/Harris as a twosome. Not to mention the supporting cast with the first group all played college sports somewhere. Completely better role players and more of them. Lastly, see the hardware.

You don't think the kid from West Brook can start on that team? He's the best player in the district not names Sells...if Sells is even better than him. Great pickup!

How come nobody mentioned the transfers to Kountze? Now I see where the confidence is coming from.

Is this the key to success? Find a Danny Almonte type kid and dominated with age?

Supposedly the Hoopinsider guy has the second highest grossing snowcone truck in Orange County.

Speaking of that...I saw the Super Gold Team is out. Only took three months from the end of basketball season.

I didn't set any goal posts. Thread is best player ever from a school. Didn't say best player ever while in high school. Do what you will with that. I think a an NBA player in any era is probably better than a Southland player. No disrespect to Weisbrod because he was great and probably did way more with much less.

Maybe where you're from, winning a gold medal and NBA titles is common enough to disregard? Maybe Hefner and Jamie Weaver would have dominated juco and southland basketball. We'll never know, but we do know that Weisbrod couldn't play at A&M or Houston because they didn't offer him a scholarship. Everyone has their own opinions and that's what makes this fun. Hell, I once saw someone rank themselves top 10 all time at a school they didn't even go to. You never no what other people think and there's really no wrong answers.

You're probably right. A lot of times teams are considered overrated so much that they become underrated. I think Warren and Anahuac have a shot, but Buna likely outperforms those two.

Don't forget the thrashing HF gave yall! Fannett could be a regional tournament team, though!

I guess I was not very specific on the parameters of the topic. Oh well. It's a crappy thread if there isn't any arguing or debating!

Going from putting all your best athletes on offense to putting your best athletes where they can best help the team win is a crazy idea! Faircloth is a really good offensive coach, but a lot of times he left their defense undermanned and really wasn't worried about it. How long does Coach Joseph stick it out down here?

That's a fair point and maybe he was a better player while Hefner was a better prospect. The title of the thread is best player ever at a school and I think you have to go with the guy with NBA rings (Davis) over a 6'4 post who kind of sniffed some semi pro workouts.

You're missing the point. Where you are offered to go to college indicates who the better players are. Weisbrod would have surely chosen to go to a school like A&M instead of Lamar had that been on the table.

Respectfully disagree. Hefner chose A&M over offers from Houston and Oklahoma. Weisbrod went to New Orleans/Lamar. I'll take Hefner over Weisbrod. Jamie Weaver went to Houston and was on the Phi Slamma Jamma teams. I'll take him over Hefner. Buddy Davis won an Olympic gold medal and two NBA titles in the 50's. He's your winner for Nederland. Don't tell Colton's dad I said that, though!

They should probably just can the football program and be a baseball powerhouse like Central Heights.

In all seriousness, what is LCM's record next year? BC, Splendora, and HJ are built in wins. WOS, Vidor, Lumberton are built in losses. That's 3-3 with four games that could go either way followed by a first round loss to CH or Kilgore?

Great hire! Great dude.

J'Covan, Persia, Mullens. Little Langston was probably the third best freshman in the area last year behind Garrett at WB and Nederland pg, but he doesn't go to Kelly anymore. PNG kid. Their best ever is Joel Lafleur.
