Mr. Basketball Finalists

[terop]

The fact that Tyler Hood is not a AAA finalist is ridiculous. He is the best player in AAA in East TN. He has been the MVP of his district the last 2 years and is a division 1 signee. While Hood is not a high major signee I think this award should be based on what you do in high school only, not who you sign with. Hood is more valuable to his team than Jackson, Prather, and Thomas are to their respective teams. Without Hood LC would be at the bottom of the district and would have already been eliminated from tournament play.This is not a lifetime achievement award!

Your point was that Hood was more valuable to his team than Jackson. My argument is that Jackson is just as valuable to his. I'm quite sure WS supporting cast could probably whip Hoods teammates. You act just because Joe Jackson plays for WS, the rest of the players are 5 star players. You made the point about Tyler Hoods team would be at the bottom and would have been eliminated from tournament play...the same would hold true without Jackson playing for White Station.

BOYS FINALISTS

 

Division II Mr. Basketball Finalists

John Ross Glover, University School of Jackson

Meiko Lyles, University School of Nashville

Dwight Tarwater, Knoxville Webb

 

Big game for Asa Toney of SGIS today in a big environment putting St. George's in the chamionship yet again. I take NOTHING away from the 3 young men listed above. I have no doubt all 3 are deserving. I didnt' see two of them play so I can't even comment. I dare say that some East/Middle folks who were at Lipscomb today will agree that Toney is as deserving as this group of 3. Fine, fine senior year for the young man.

 

I'll also say this might be the best coaching job I've seen out of their coach. To lose Elliott Williams, Laurence Bowers, Ray Parks, and several other talented seniors each of the last 2 years and yet STILL be in the SCG? Fantastic job, coach. Outstanding.

Read the name genious "asgoodasioncewas" "downtown247" thanks for establishing the point you have no idea what you are talking about. Never said they were stars, just saying they are not garbage.

[prospect]

A:havent seen any of the kids play so i cant make a prediction here

 

AA: Jalen Steele-statistically THEE best player to come thru my alma mater..and his 46pts last nite in the Region 'ship against Lester Wilson's team(another AA candidate) might've helped

 

AAA: Joe Jackson- probably the best high school pg ive seen in person

[mchstigers]

[basketballtime113]

A- Thomas Greer

AA- Jalen Steele (Chris Crawford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

DII-A- Meiko Lyles (John Ross Glover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

DII-AA- Jordan Price

 

Who will probably win it (Who I think should win it)

Wow now...Just curious who has Tyler Hood signed with?? Anyway to your point. Hood might be great and congrats on his signing to continue his education and basketball career but a lot of kids get snubbed for the list. It's only three spots. Now your point is valid for Adonis Thomas because he has 3-5 other D-1 caliber players with him but Joe Jackson and Prather's team would be nothing without them. In AAA Memphis, White Station would be last in the district. Jackson Northside would be the same way. They wouldn't have any size without Casey..

 

Hood signed with Samford. But that fact is totally irrelevent since the award is HIGH SCHOOL MR. BASKETBALL not "The Kid that Signs with the Biggest School" Award. LC would have no size without Hood. Without him they would be starting 6'1" post players. It is obvious that you are a Memphis homer. Hood has been named All State, 2 Time District MVP, and broken every school record that stands at LC. I find it extremely hard to believe that White Station has no one to go with Jackson...They are ranked nationally most years. I'm sorry but you do not get ranked in the USA Today Poll by having one great player. It just doesn't happen!

 

 

 

NONE OF THIS MATTERS ..... JOE JACKSON IS THE MAN

 

PERIOD

 

HE DESERVES MR. BASKETBALL

Wow really???

 

Where were you and rivals last year at the state tournament

 

AAU is way different than Organized Tennessee High School basketball

 

Crawford is a great player(no doubt)

 

but Steele is better Crawford i have seen both play

Steele is a great player too, but Crawford is better than Steele... I have seen both play as well... Crawford is just more talented plain and simple.

 

AAU is way different than Organized Tennessee High School basketball... TRUE.... AAU has more talented players on 1 team than Organized Tennessee High School basketball.... So to perform better on the AAU level tells a recruiting website like rivals the amount of talent you really have than playing against some team that doesn't have much talent on it.

 

I take Crawford over Steele IMHO!

[OKCthunder11]

A- Thomas Greer

AA- Jalen Steele

AAA- Joe Jackson

 

We all know Jackson will win in AAA but Casey Prather is also an excellent player. Do ya'll think prather will see much floor time at florida????
