Wow, this topic makes me sick with all the ignorance!

 

How can I even respond to posts like these??? No common sense, and complete ignorance... I just hope the early posts on this topic were actually a joke, and were not meant in any seriousness...

 

Nicchaeus is the best player in Class A, with the possible exception of Xavier Webb, period. This is easy to see. It's like you all HOLD IT AGIANST the kid for being a 6'8 great athlete??!!! That is a joke: that's what the kid is, a 6'8 athlete who dominates offensively, defensively, and on the boards...

 

In a "down" game, he has 19 points and 13 boards, and got the W! What the heck else do you want???

 

Heck, who's still in the State Tourney??? (even without Partee on the roster???)

 

Nicchaeus got HIGH MAJOR looks, and would have had his choice of High Major offers had he not signed early, but he found a great fit for himself... The kid is a flat out player!

 

These posts are so ridiculous and without any obvious knowledge of the game of basketball, it's a joke...

gomab,

i just want to let you know that i totally agree with your opinions. without doaks, peabody has nothing. unaka had THREE people boxing him out(or trying to) which allowed other players to get offensive boards and easy put backs. not to take anything away from caleb because he is a great player but remember he is not being TRIPLE teamed the whole game. doaks has got a lot of respect and i think it is well earned. he will succeed at utc and im excited to see everything he will accomplish. by the way, i am not biast towards him i was a just there to see basketball and he definately stood out more than any other player. ohh yeah, did i mention that unaka had THREE people guarding doaks at all times. gomab u do a great job and keep it up.

Hey Gomab could you compare Doaks to anyone near the Nashville area preferably Sumner Co. From what it sounds like he plays kind of like Tyler Troupe. Tyler can hit the three but doesnt dominate but he also plays 3A ball. So he has som ekids that match his height. I dont want to hear some biased opinion so thats why im asking for yours.

Thanks for the post, naismith...

And, I just saw Nicchaeus did all that taking only 10 shots!!! And he even went 1-1 from threes!!!

 

Rahobk... It's tough to really compare him to anyone in middle Tn... He is a bit like Troupe, but more effective... Troupe is more perimeter oriented...

 

I would say the closest comparison in Middle Tn might be Siegel's Keith Ramsey, though Doaks is clearly better right now (though Ramsey is just a Junior, and is still a future star)...

 

But what tops it off, and makes me even more mad about these posts, is that Nicchaeus is such a great kid!!! He has such a great personality, and is a true please to both coach and simply be around... The kid definitely has earned all of the great things to come his way, and best of luck to him the rest of the State Tourney...

I agree with you on everything but the fact that you think Peabody is nothing without him. Everyone here knows how I feel about Nicchaeus Doaks, but our team is hardly "nothing" without him. There you go.........emphasizing that ONE player makes the WIN. AGAIN.........Nicchaeus is an awesome basketball player, but he cannot and does not do it alone............and he too will tell you that.

Although I don't agree with Gomab all the time, I would have to say he's right on this one. Doaks is very good. I didn't see the game in question, but often in high school it's possible to scheme out a player like Doaks and limit him somewhat. I saw it happen with David Harrison and Lorenzen Wright, and both those guys are in the NBA now. In my opinion, it's easier to do this with a post player because he is dependent on others to get the ball in his hands. It's much harder to shut down a great guard.

Ramsey, right now, is a better basketball player than Doaks. Its close. But they are similar in height and athletic ability but Ramsey has some of the skills and basketball IQ that Doaks lacks. Ramsey had an amazing game last night, was very proficient from the floor. He contributed with blocks, assists, steals. Ramsey is an all-around solid player. The thing that separates Ramsey and Doaks is that Ramsey has fewer weaknesses than Doaks. Although, neither have very many weaknesses.

In height?.............Nicchaeus seems to be quite a bit taller than Greg.

Doaks is about an inch taller than Keith Ramsey...

Doaks shoots the three better than Ramsey...

Doaks is a better shot blocker than Ramsey...

Doaks is stronger than Ramsey...

Doaks is a better rebounder than Ramsey...

They both score very well inside, so I'll give that a toss-up...

Both are great athletes...

Both are adequate, but not great, passers...

Defenses key on Doaks MUCH more than Ramsey as well, since Ramsey has Top 40 Jr's Oden, Roper, and Jones to take the defensive pressure off him...

 

Again, this is nit-picking, as they are both great players with great futures...

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.

      Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
