Division II Mr. Basketball Finalists

John Ross Glover, University School of Jackson

Meiko Lyles, University School of Nashville

Dwight Tarwater, Knoxville Webb

 

 

Who you got??

 

In my opinion it has to be Lyles from USN. The kid is a machine who outplayed Tarwater twice this year.

 

Lyles and Glover will face off Saturday night as schools play each other in sub-state.

 

Asa Toney from St. George's, in my opinion, should have made the list. Even though St. George's came in 3rd in the West Region, it would not surprise me to see them make a run at state.

I told you J-Rock aka John Ross Glover-former Memphis Bearcat would be a player. Toney is good but carries attitude on the floor that hurt him. Lyles is a player i heard but he is a senior and John Ross is Sophmore. They will vote Lyles as Mr. Basketball because he got passed over last year by parks. It may be a upset in the USN vs USJ. Two of the states Mr. Basketball on the floor. Jody Joe what is your opinion.

Lyles by far deserves this award. He makes that team so much better. I thought USN would take a step down after Coleman left, but they were region champs in a tough region and embarrassed both Webb teams in the region tournament. I do agree that Toney deserved some consideration over Tarwater.

Lyles definitely deserves the award. He should have gotten it last year. There will be no upset at USJ/USN game. Not sure if the Tigers can go all the way, but they should win convincingly Saturday night and move on to Final 4. The Bruins will not go to Nashville and win.

 

Other predictions:

 

Lausanne defeats Webb - a match of 2 undisciplined teams - I'll take the Lynx

DCA upsets St. George - Ramsey has the Cats poised for a run. If they can limit Toney, they can pull the upset. Should be the best game of the 4.

Knox Webb/ECS - will be a close game due to travel for ECS. ECS wins in a close one.

John Jordan from ECS would have been nominated had he been on any other team. The system he is in doesn't allow for huge numbers but the kid is putting up 15 a game. I was at the game the other night and he put on a clinic against the glover kid. Totally dominated him.

 

Tarwater is a machine and is definately deserving of being nominated.

I agree Jordan is a good player but i would question his ability to run the court for an entire game. I think his strength/size is his talent.

In most small schools systems you will have the problem of players having to play out of positions or not playing to their strength. I don't think the Glover kid is a 5 and believe he is a 2 or 3 on the circuit with his AAU team but as Jordan being ask to play within a system.

What are Jordan's numbers on the AAU circuit?

no way tarwater deserves to be on this list. lyles is head and shoulders above this kid. frankly speaking after watching knox webb in the region, their best player is their big 6'3 point guard. that kid creates everything for that team. any smart coach will scheme against him and the rest of the team cannot beat you

    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
