Couple things based on some previous posts....

Yates would not have beaten Findlay last year. Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson would have had their way last year.

The PG for Findlay is not similar to Augustin. He's bigger stronger and faster than Augustin could ever think about being.

All that being said Yates is terrible in the half court. Not enough shooting and too much isolation. Yates staying in the press was madness. I mean they were basically trying to press a College team. Think about it they have a kid going to Texas, the kid going to Arizona who by the way is biggggg time, the kid going to St. Johns, a SOPHOMORE who plays like a senior committed to UNLV.

I'd like to see this starting five of Findlay against Lamars starting five.

Yeah its easy to get players like that when you recruit from all over the world.

What's the problem with this? They do not compete for state championships. They play predominantly other prep schools and the best in the nation. They provide players with almost certainly getting a scholarship and a free education in College.

Nope nothing wrong with it. It is a great opportunity for the kids that get invited to attend the school. However I don't think its right to include any school that can recruit their players in the same national polls as schools who don't. As everyone knows Yates finished last year #1 in the nation (whether they were the best team or not we will never know) and they draw their players from a select area in inner city Houston. A school that has players from all over the world should beat a team that only has players from a certain district.

I was wondering if Findley plays 5th year seniors? Those guys were just too confident and mature in their play. Makes a big difference as a 5th year senior.

I'm not sure, but doesn't Oak Hil Academy (Virginia) do that?

No 5th year players, all 4 year guys. Avery Bradley, Tristian Thompson and Corey Joseph all attended school. The kids actually attend Henderson International High School, the name Findlay comes from a guy name Cliff Findlay who funds the program. Henderson has no sports programs.

Guest Two-Dogs...
Not sure I understand that concept at the high school level. Why wouldn't a kid that good already be in a collegiate program if he is finished with high school? or are we talking about kids who were "redshirted" as 1st graders that are now seniors?

In a lot of cases, kids go to "Prep Schools" to get an additional year at the high school level. Alot of college actually place these kids at the Prep Schools to get them ready for the following school year, as the case with Christian Life in Humble. They have two teams. They have the actual high school team that came to the Nederland Classic and they also have a Prep squad, that has 5th year players. They have a kid that is going to Lamar next year that is enrolled at the Prep School. It also helps academically.

[/quote]Different reasons. I remember reading a book about Carmello and his decison to attend Oak Hill. He was an academic underachiever from a big city. He got away from his negative environment and was able to acquire the academiic maturity he lacked. And was able to become eligible to enter a nice university ;)

    • Very good read. Thank you for that. You will get no response worth reading.

    • Since u drug me down here to the bottom of the barrel I'll humor us all with another opinion from outside the box.  Epstein didn't kill himself. Aliens did it. No really hear me out and try to keep up with the changes. In 1954, JROD was at Area 51 when Ike met with them to discuss the friendly takeover. Everything since then has been played out on Shakespeare's stage. Predicted, planned, rehearsed by the original Ai. Remember all technology is at least 30 years behind the government, military, secret society of billionaires. Whatever you wish to call it, it's all the same.  Now we have wars in every aspect of life. Politics, religion, race, migration, and even climate. Enough power plugged into doppler radars to ionize the atmosphere. Cloud seeding missions overnight infront of the hurricane. This is not from Chinese drones. This is our own government and military doing everything they possible can to sabotage the Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina elections. Oops wrong topic. For real though. We need to be thankful they didn't decide to hit us here in SeTx. Musk is a smart man. But not smart enough to distance himself from a political climate that will surely cancel his private space expeditions. Especially now that he joined team Trump. He's also been saying alot about the black budget military programs that Congress has no access to. Claiming the UAP phenomenon is new technology reverse engineered from recovered alien ships. They're here. They walk amongst us like everyday citizens. Many have entered the world of politics. And many have become very wealthy individuals developing new technologies. Trump is another in a long line a bad men that have won over the hearts and minds of many. This is because we the people lean toward leaders. And bad men sometimes fit into that category. Whatever he did or didn't do was just as bad as whatever Harris has done. Or not done? There are no good candidates. Hasn't been since I've been voting. Nobody gets to run for office without the expressed "non" written consent of those in true power. Who by the way control both sides of the aisle. Which brings me all the way back around to Epstein. A vehicle of corruption and blackmail aimed at control of people in all aspects of our society. He deserved a chance to tell his story. Like cmon Diddy we know you killed pac and biggie. Then he killed the Sting song for the memorial. Smh These people cannot be touched. The list will never be public. Trump made campaign promises to release JFK files the first time. Then an aide recommend that it was still too sensitive. What's that supposed to mean? Sensitive to who? 60 years later when everyone connected to the conspiracy that day would be dead? The same group still controlling things today. That was just the tip and they still denied him. No way would Trump ever be able to fully grab em by the gato and clean the swamp. It's too deep. Jelly said while your fighting alligators don't forget to clean the swamp. That's how it would be for anyone that wants to expose the secrets. The real secret that explains all of this is it's demonic and we're in a spiritual warfare that been going on for 1000s of years. Who's side are you on? All this talk of aliens reminds me of my old friend Hagar. And what he always reminded us. They Boo'd God. Sorry if my soap box runneth over the allotted time. I'll be high up in the penthouse gazing at the flat horizon of our round world til my opinions are called upon again. 🧢🥁🕶
