Guest Ozen Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 from hoop insider cooper as 2008 McDonald's All-Americans. The final team will be announced in a few weeks!
Guest DickVitale Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Tremain was NOMINATED, J'Covan was SELECTED...They selected 20 and will select 4 more...A nomination is a good thing too, and the EC community should be very proud as well...I am pulling for J'Covan, but I honestly have my reservations about his selection, given the circumstances..I don't think that the committee was aware of his playing status...They selected strictly from the AAU circuit, and I have issue with that part...Just my 2 cents...
Guest stevenash Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Maybe the committee believes he deserves a second chance.

I guess I shouldn't let the AAU circuit surprise me anymore since my kids play it. But are you saying this kid was picked through his AAU performance and not the high school stats? You mean to say McDonald ALL-American has slithered down this low?

You mean to say McDonald ALL-American has slithered down this low? Yeah, that is why I have issue with it...To be named McDonalds AA, you should be a intragal part of your HIGH SCHOOL TEAM...This year he was not..But was still selected...THAT, I have issue with because a kid like Tremain who exhibited ALL of the qualities of a McDonalds AA, was only nominated...I DO have an issue with that..

I am with you on this one, Dick. I might could understand if a player missed due to injury, but for disciplinary reasons, NO WAY!!! McDonald's AA just dropped in my book.

I agree Dickie. Sad time for McDonald's AA I guess I shouldn't let the AAU circuit surprise me anymore since my kids play it.

Hawk42 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Has anyone heard of Jarvis Benard??? he should defenitly been nominated over Tramain Thomas.... He is 10 times better than TT will ever be! ;D
the wise one Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Has anyone heard of Jarvis Benard??? he should defenitly been nominated over Tramain Thomas.... He is 10 times better than TT will ever be! ;D u are crazy dont get me wrong jarvis is good but he is not as good as TT and he is to small to play with the top players in the coutry he is very skilled but he would get pushed around in the AA game
MWhizzie Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 yes tramain is good and all but i think its all hype he has not showed me much this year at least as a AA should show me.
hjhawks Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Congrats J'Covan and Good Luck Tremain!
setxslam Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Jarvis has a chance to win three straight state championships.

Jarvis is way better than TT, he may not be big but is fast, and can drain 3's, Tramain is good in football but he cant touch jarvis in basketball
ECBuc08 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Both players are very good. congrats to both!
team first Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 WOW....Nominated for Mc D.'s All-American.......T. Thomas equals WINNER!!! Team Leader, Great Character, Hard Worker, Humble, Unselfish, and then receive some individual attention...it's the right way to do it and maybe enough to deserve the honor....Why are we giving out recognition for the future potential that some kids possibly have??? Go and earn it....The problem lies with the kids first, but we do not help the situation any when somebody nominates a player based on how good he might possibly be.....One of the very first qualifications should be , is to actually play in High School the year the award is given...Seems pretty simple!
Guest stevenash Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Be careful teamfirst. Often times, logic is not well received here.

If you look at this thread, you will see that those are my EXACT same sentiments....Just look...I agree 100% about this point. That is why I said, I had a problem with that particular nomination.
Lazeek Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I thought that Brown was selected to the McDonalds All American Team.........I saw both rosters last night and did not see his name. ???
Guest DickVitale Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, he was only nominated, too, after all...I was told that INITIALLY he WAS selected...Guess they got wind of the situation...I guess.
Guest stevenash Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 If he was not selected, I DEMAND another chance for him. After all, he is "just a kid" and "we all make mistakes". Somebody(s) out there is trying to "hold this kid back". Obviously a conspiracy against the kid who is not at fault.
