Congrats to the kid, hard work and talent comes together well.  You had a little flare of arrogance in the subject title, though.  I mean, what does this mean?????

Well below you will see what it means.

A small school high school guy that performs on an elevated level for his classification, goes to an extra small college and performs on that same level against kids from the same level he left in high school... Sounds reasonable to me. He balled in SMALL school in high school and JUNIOR College.  Still doesn't validate his ability on a bigger stage against D1 talent.  Now he just might be a great 3A player and a great junior college player too!

Kenyon Spears had a very decorated College experience on a D1 level.  He was a small school guy that put up huge numbers in high school.  But he was very average on a D1 stage and had big trouble when playing against BIG TIME D1 schools.  Imagine if he had went to one of the major conferences, he would have been one heck of a glue guy, but that's all.  In a Junior college he would have averaged 30+.  That is why its the Junior to the Big Boys!

Thank you for reading!

Last game that Spears played "on a big stage" he scored 19 points against Duke in the NCAA tourney........Coach K's shut down defended Chris Carrawell guarded him the entire game.

That was a good game for Spears but let's be realistic.  It is easier to score 19 pts when the focus of the entire defense was to stop Landon Rowe.  His defender often played off him and swarmed Rowe.  And Spears only reached 20 pts once that entire year. AND it wasn't his last game because it was his junior year. AND the next year when it was his turn to be the focal point of the offense his averages dropped.  Not to mention his best year he only averaged 11 pts per game!  AND his year to be the man he averaged 9.7.  AND his senior year he score 3 at A&M, 7 at OSU, and did really bad in conference games that LU had a chance to win, those were "BIG STAGE".  Like I said the perfect D1 [b]GLUE[/b] guy! Not a star... Benard would be a great D1 glue guy as well!

OH OK  ;) I don't know the history, I have been reading for a bit off and on though.  I guess it was more behind the title than I know.  All I am saying is that at time some people have unrealistic ideas about high schiool players and thier translation to college.

[/quote]

Transition: movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another; change:
Translation: a function obtained from a given function by adding the same constant to each value of the variable of the given function
Superimpose: to impose, place, or set over, above, or on something else.

I used the word I wanted to.  As you read above the mathematical definition of [b]translate[/b] is what I was trying to imply.  The function is college basketball. The constant is Benards Game!  The variable is the different levels of college basketball.  I am not talking about his passage into college game from the high school game. *sorry* I could try saying it this way!  "I am talking about taking his skill set and [b]superimposing[/b] it onto the different levels of college ball." But I do not think that [b]transition[/b] is the proper word for what I am explaining!

Thank you for your concern anyway little buddy!


On another note this is a message board not an English exam.  I will probably misspell words, speak improper English, use acronyms, and paraphrase quite a bit.  So I hope you have fun correcting me!

By the way I Can Play...Who wins the 4a league and any insight on the 5a league would be a bonus...your opinion on the best guard and best big in the area, sleepers and any other topic we might be interested in.....

Not knowing whats in 3A and not expecting a big man there anyway I will have to go with the kid over in Nederland, but I heard Memorial has a nice big.  RCSsports has him ranked in  the Houston area.  Once upon a time I would have yelled Franks from the roof tops on being the best guard, but the Sophmore at Central is out shining him.  And maybe the kid at Kountze.  Forgive me for not knowing all of their names, but I know their games.

      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.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      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.
