Brentwood Academy

[gomab2]

There are a number of B.A. supporters on here, and I'd like to actually learn a lot more about the B.A. team this year. Could someone help me out with some more names (with heights), possible starting lineup, etc......

 

I know BA was solid last year, has a great coach, and lost almost nobody. Plus, the best Freshman in middle Tn, Brandon Wright is now at school. I know Jr G Scotty Reall, but haven't seen him in a while: is he going to be a big piece this year? Also, there is a 6'7 Sr Post, but I can't remember his name. I know Chris Slay is also a Frosh.....

 

So can someone help me out with some more details...........

I don't know many of their names except the big guy. He is 6'7'' and about 270lbs. His name is King Dunlap.

Judging from last year, they should look pretty good. I saw King Dunlap over the weekend and he looks about 6'9. He's one big fella. Reall should step it up this year as far as scoring goes. There other guard will step it up as well. They still go real deep into their bench. Dunlap has all the tools, its just up to him to make this a great year for BA. That's all I can help you out with.

Is the same guy coaching that was there when David Harrison was a freshman back in 1999 or have they had a coaching change..If my memory serves me right the guy back then was really young. Someone let me know? Thanks TNBBALL!

Be happy to. The returning players from last year (with current class and size) are:

 

Kyle Willis Jr. - 6'1" wing

David Holbert Jr.- 6'2" wing

Hunter Mize - Jr. 6'1" point

Darren Mustin - Sr. 6'2" wing

Pete Compton - Sr.6'6" post

King Dunlap - Sr. 6'8" post

Barry Turner - So. 6'3" post/wing

Mason Revellete - So. 5'8" point

Brian Ralls - So. 6'4" post/wing

Scottie Reall - Jr. 6'1" wing

Tyler Griffin - So. 6'0" wing

 

Compton, Reall, Mize, Holbert and Willis were the "starters" last year. Top newcomers this year will be the aforementioned Brandon, and Chris Slay, a 6"0" sophomore wing player (Ron's little bro).

 

I have heard that Compton may not play this season, due to a nagging shoulder injury. He loves baseball, is a good pitcher, and does not want to jeopardize that. He is also a long snapper that is getting college interest. We'll see. I've also heard that Mize may not play. Again, we'll see.

 

BA has a lot of good athletes they can run in and out, and they are much physically stronger than last year. The tale will be told for this team at the point guard position. It was not a strength last year, and nobody has really stepped up yet. Holbert and Reall need to step up their scoring, as BA struggled to get points out of the set offense last season. Turner has gotten stronger, and was looking very good at the end of last season. In addition, Brandon will need to put on some muscle fast if he is to contribute significantly at post. He's going to get beat up underneath in practice, and should mature quickly. He is very talented.

 

You may know that John Pierce, ex FRA and Lipscomb university great is one of the assistant coaches, and has really helped the post players.

 

They may start off slowly, as all of these players are also on the football team, with the exception of Peoples and Mize.

 

 

Looking forward to an exciting DII year.

 

BTW, GOMAB, I haven't been looking at this board too long...where do you get your seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of HS hoops? I really enjoy your takes.

Itzme........thanks a ton for the info on Brentwood Academy's team this year. I may look to you for more BA info as the season progresses. Do you play for BA??? Anyways, thanks again......

 

As for me, I simply love the game of basketball. I coach AAU (Midstate Ballerz) and hope to get into the College Coaching ranks soon. I love the recruiting game, and have tried to learn from those who know a heck of a lot more than I do. Thanks for the interest.........
