The game was played in university of Maryland... Wattad is going to Georgetown, not exactly his SOON TO BE HOME... He played stellar defense... which is rare in an all star game... only attempted like 7 or 8 shots and scored 7. Not his best offensive game... but it seemed the effort to play team ball didn't exist (it was an allstar game folks.. don't put too much stock into these games).
Wiggins has been in close contacts with Tulsa, Appy State, College of Charleston, Ball State to name a few..... he is going to be fine.... Wattad works well in the G-town system... they like passers, and taller guards.... he fits both molds.... .strength... he and antwaine both need strength....
Wattad had 9 points and 9 assists on 4/9 shooting... he also had the game winning assist to Wiggins when the west team sent 3 guys towards him. Unselfishly (something you can always say about Omar) he gave the ball up and wiggins scored. Kyle Groothius also had 25 points, mostly layups at the end of breaking the press. Wattad also had 4 rebounds.... Oglesby finished with 6 points and 7 assists... I don't see how you can say Wattad won't play at Georgetown after seeing him play. He may not dazzle but he does what he must to get the W. Good job EAST
The game is going to come down to post play. Maryville owned SHHS because the tallest post on the hill was 6'4". Bradley should be able to handle the inside with Dodd and Groothius. Oglesby will do Oglesby just like Wattad did Wattad... it is the REST OF THE GUYS that will make the diff. Bradley by 6. By even more if Groot and Keith can put up numbers and/or limit the effectiveness of the tight-end/center.
Wrong..
No Coty... No Sylvester... Throp is REAL... but No williamson...
I think BOTH SHHS and DB can win in substate though.... imagine a Bradley Central SHHS first round at state.... WOW!
Wattad is the better player... AT THIS TIME.... Wiggins has a huge upside potential but he has not tapped into that as a legitimate Wing/Forward at the High major level. He is not quick enough to guard smaller players... and he is not strong enough to muscle the big men... he's what scouts call a "tweener"...
With Wattad you know what you get...
he isn't going to provide the length that Wiggins does, but you know who he can and can't guard...
too many questions with Wiggins, wattad is the more ready player AT THIS TIME...
that doesn't mean i think Omar will have a better college career... antwaine's potential is FAR GREATER than Omar's, but he hasn't tapped into it to the extent that Omar has tapped into his.... understand my point?
I agree.. Antwaine is much better than what we saw from him, but don't use his sickness as an excuse... a lot of his difficulties that night were due to Wattad's exceptional play. SO yes don't let that game be the basis for how you judge antwaine as a player... but do factor in Omar's play as a substantial reason as to why Antwaine struggled like he did.
i agree... but as stupid as it seems... for record keeping purposes they are listed as co-champs... the real place it matters is the seeding for district and that, without any dispute, belongs to DB as the number 1 seed. So, hats off to DB and SHHS for winning 13 and losing 3... double props to DB for giving SHHS 2 of those 3 losses.
