Okay, so J.Bernard and a few others make All-State at tiny 3-A Hardin-Jefferson and other 3-A schools. So what does the future hold for this kid now in relation to going to the next level in basketball. Is he D-1 material?

If yes or no, please explain your pros and cons.

I'm curious because I've had two 4-A coaches tell me 4-A and up is better to play in for the exposure and competition.

As much as I think that the kid is great, I do not think that he is D1 material............he is too small.  Not too many 5'8 shooting guards in D1.  He could go JUCO and then onto a decent school, but I just do not see him going anywhere bigger than a JUCO or D2 or D3 school.

I agree. I feel the same way about Shannon.

I will probably get jumped on for this, but here we go anyway:

Honestly it really does not matter the classification, if the kid has size and can play, he will be seen. Now that is usually the issue in 3A and smaller schools. Kids might be able to play but are just too small for the next level.  You could reasonably say that yeah he may go JUCO, but in reality D-I JUCO would be a far reach as well for some of those kids. People must realize that Junior college basketball at the Division I level is TOUGH.  There are some future pros playing JUCO D-I ball right now.  D-2 and D-3 JUCO ball, and D-2 and D-3 NCAA, are entirely different, for they don't have scholarships to give and rely solely on kids paying their own way and financial assistance.  Those schools are a great option for kids that want to play after high school.  Also, there are many NAIA D-1 schools that offer scholarships that will take a chance on a smaller kid that may have been overlooked.

This I can agree upon. But there are always the exceptions.

Good post Dicky.

Actually, I agree with most of your assessment.  However, I don't think size is the main factor in smaller school kids.  I believe it is lack of exposure.  I think that college guys will send their assistants to 4A and 5A games more easily because there is a higher liklihood of more players being in a particular game so it becomes money better spent.  This is why AAU is a necessary evil, especially for smaller school kids.  I also think that a lot of college guys believe there is not as much competition at the smaller school level but, I have always believed that if a kid can play, he can play.  Physical size is an issue but, I don't think it is the biggest problem for small school kids.

Excuse me, Kenny but are you really saying IF DV was smart?  Where have you been?

There is an oxymoron in this post somewhere.  I'll let Professor Nash point it out.

stevenash,

KP's post was not meant as an insult and I didn't take it that way, all he was suggesting is that we take a look at him....grow up.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By OlDawg · Posted

      This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?

      It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
