It's a good read.TexPreps is good also because it has good coverage of the small schools (3A and down).I read the mags mostly for info on the "teams" and not necessarily what players and how they are ranked.[/quote] My point is this: Do they come and scout Silsbee and able to give a true assessment of Silsbee? Yes or no?[/quote]Not sure that either of these two make it to Silsbee. I personally have never seen Jim Hicks or R.V. Baugus at Silsbee High School, but that doesn't mean they haven't been there.Hicks goes to the big AAU circuits and has a good grasp on who the top players are, but he is clueless as to who are the top small school "teams" in the state. That is my point. My interest goes much further than who is the top 100 state or national players are. I want to learn more about the teams across the state.[/quote]wOW! This could turn into a complete different thread . Interesting. Hmm? The pros and cons between covering individual players and high school teams. I can see why both coverages are needed.

AggiesAreWe Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I enjoy Jim's mag for what it is, a greater Houston area mag that covers mostly it's Houston teams and bigger schools across the state, along with info on the top players in the state and nationally.The other mags like TexPreps gives great coverage of every district from class 5A to Private schools across the state. They have info on every single team, something that Hicks mag doesn't provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
