My point remains the same. Can't be too many freshmen making impacts on boys varsity teams.

And on another note...if you have a freshman not good enough to start, why have them on varsity


Say he's clearly the 6th best player in your program. And the starting 5 is established as they are older physically built better and overall just better. But the Freshman like stated is also clearly the next best option were one of them to drop due to injury, grades, transfer, or lack of production. Then why would you have that player on JV or Freshman team when he can help you varsity?

​Disagree. I watched Parquet and Williams last year. Both are fantastic players but Williams is the better of the two, IMO.

You say that like having a good bench on your team doesn't matter or like the starting 5 play the entire time. You can be a bench player, and come in play defense and lock somebody down. Maybe you are a shooter and need a quick 3. Or a couple 3's. Maybe you need rebounds, and you have a big man that might do better than your starter one game.

If they're not good enough to do it the entire time put them on JV. Every minute of a JV game will benefit more than "come off the bench to knock down a 3" in a varsity game. Can't replace game experience.

Trust me I have no problem with the playing of younger kids. If a freshman is as good as a senior...the freshman plays everytime in my opinion. But if they aren't gonna play a lot...give them minutes on JV.

I get what you are saying. But if the freshman comes off the bench and is getting significant minutes, I say ya keep em up there.

At Kelly we can play our players on more than one team. The past few years we have had Freshman players that started and played the entire Freshman or JV game and then came off the bench in the Varsity game. True it's not good for a player to be moved up and just sit the bench the majority of the Varsity game if he isn't playing on another team. But getting him used to the speed of the game at the Varsity level makes him better for his sophomore year. So playing them up is good if they are capable of being productive at the Varsity level. 

 

On the subject of the best Freshman in the area, I believe all of the kids mentioned are making a considerable contribution on their varsity teams. We played against the Cleveland and Woodville and Christian Williams and Jaylon Williams are the real deal. Parquet, Barnes, Sneed and Chatman are playing on much deeper teams in terms of talent and are still contributing. And Sneed has no idea that he is a freshman. That boy plays like he is about to graduate. NO FEAR lol. Jomard Valsin is certainly in this group.

Or the daddy takes the coach out to eat. (oldschool2, you need to catch up with new age basketball). smh :lol:


By the way..it really is funny. And you can call me naive, stupid, outdated...whatever you want. I just refuse to believe. Way I see it..not all cops are corrupt..not all women are bad drivers..and most coaches coach to win.

I can't help it. Check the name...I have too much "old school" to feel otherwise.

Nice video but Parquet is the best incoming sophomore in SE Texas. Kid played in the regional quarters last year as a freshman with a broken rip and just flat out stepped up against a very good Houston Sterling club. Kid can take the ball to the hole and FINISH but can also pull up and drain the 3. The sky is the limit for this young gun !!

He is a nice player but has some consistency issues.  The rankings will support my post.  One service already has Williams in the top 50 nationally, the only kid in our area on any such list.  But I forgot rankings mean nothing.  Unless you are interested in going to college, of course....

 

But please keep in mind I am a big fan of Eli.  BIG fan.  I just believe right now this kid is a little better.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      By Cu Chulainn · Posted

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.

      JoeBama Administration Gives NGOs Millions To Facilitate Immigration Invasion!

      By Reagan · Posted

      @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
