Memphis Top Teams

[mcon6983]

Imagine Alo's IQ, with longer arms he has extremely active hands on defense. I wouldnt quite compare his stroke to Tyler Harris's but he's a more efficient shooter than Alo and Tyler you don't leave him open bc he will knock down the 3s (Harris will knock them down even if he's guarded well bc we all know he takes questionable shots). I've seen Garland play around 10 times now since he was a freshman but this summer it was like his shot was barely touching the net so the precision is there. He's longer than both, more athletic than Lomax (Harris jumps out the gym to be 5'7). And i know alot of people commend Lomax on being able to manage the successful teams that he is apart of and always stand out, but I know that if he swapped places with Garland he would be more of a Trae Davis than what he is now. What i mean by that is he would just be known as the private school kid with game not garnering too much attention. Not taking anything away from Alo but being under Penny at all times really does help the kid. I dont think you could put him on Brentwood Academy's team and expect him to beat East. Garland beating East consecutively is a huge feat when you take into the head that Brentwood's tallest player is the same height as William Douglas and East has 4 guys taller than that. Yes Lomax didn't play against BA this year but the outcome wouldn't have changed Garland can consistently get his shot on any PG in the state if you do not deny him the ball. If Garland was East's PG they would be a top 3-5 team nationally and would never drop lower than that. I kinda went on a rant, but all in all I would say picture a more aggressive longer version of lomax with a more efficient stroke and all around game but just not as well built as lomax.

okay do Brentwood play CBHS or MUS this year so I can check this young man out

the one against CBHS is the one I want to see. But I'm probably still going over to Bartlett to see him cause from what you have told me he is the real deal Edited August 26, 2016 by mcon6983

He's nice man. im not too interested in seeing him play Barlett either, not that i have the choice anyway bc im sure ill be in Atlanta for the Mem vs Atl classic this year. GA is stacked with talent and im sure Cordova CBHS and East will take the trip so i cant miss that friday and saturday of good ball.

I forgot that it was Going to be in Atlanta this year I enjoyed all the Saturday games this year one question do you think if East and Brentwood met in a regular season game Brentwood would win

Mitchell will be there also.

[wingman10]

Will East be as good as last yr?

[Galilee]

Will East be as good as last yr?

No way. They will be better than last year.

[mcon6983]

Will East be as good as last yr?

East is loaded they have probably 6 d-1 right now

[tonym3143]

Theoretically, they'll be even better 2017-18. Unbelievable young talent at East right now.

With a healthy East team, the only way Brentwood wins is if its a home game for BA. If its a nuetral game it would be close but i'd give East the edge, if its in Binghampton BA would be lucky to leave with less than a 15 pt deficit. BA doesnt have the size to beat East with Lomax on the floor with the crowd behind them. I could be wrong but i dont many teams can go into Binghampton and leave with a W. I also think CBHS could only have a chance against East outside of binghampton.

 

Maybe someone in this board has some pull and can influence Penny to give us one of these games the friday night of the penny classic bc its the only way it could happen lol

East lost 2 defensive studs that they will miss. But they will walk all the way to 3 straight championships. Cordova's only chance of getting one is getting DJ Jeffries back at Cordova. Hopefully East has a stacked schedule this year with likewise talent. CBHS and Cordova shouldve been a must on their scedule imo, i love seeing the best play the best in the area even if you have nothing to gain or lose you know? 

 

I agree East has 3 Definite High Majors, 2 Mid Majors, and 1 Mid-High Major depending on rather or not he puts it all together (McCollum)
