DII-A Basketball (Keep it Clean Version)

[9aafan]

Saw the USN vs Ezell game last night with USN winning by 7 or so. This is probably the worst I have seen Ezell play. Didn't play with any intensity nor seemed to have any energy. But have to give it up for the play of the point guard no. 13 Nash. This kid can play. Noticed they didn't have Hodge. Heard he has been suspended. Good luck to both teams as they continue on.

USJ beat Fayette Academy in a sloppy game last night 60-36. Teams are starting to sag and triple team Glover but you can't do that with as much success this year as you could last. More outside shooters this year and well...Glover is better this year than last. If he can hit his free throws and the outside shots keep falling things will be ok. Team is doing a good job this year of playing unselfish (unlike last) and taking what the other team is giving.

 

Saw where St. George's beat JCS by 10 and Harding beat ECS by the same. Lausanne continues to roll and FACS is winning as well.

 

Seems to be another year of parity in the West.

 

Interesting note about Hodge? Any idea if it's long term or just a few games? Never heard of Nash.

 

Like I said before, Good luck to you guys until Feb. or so...then not so much.

One fan said Nolan suspended indefinitely. If you haven't heard of Nash I'm sure you will. What a player.

I don't see how they could bring him back. I think it may be out of the schools control at this point.

 

It's unfortunate that a kid with a bright future gets caught up in the wrong stuff. We adults should use this as an opportunity to talk with and advise the kids we come in contact with. One bad decision...One wrong turn...and poof it's over!! USN will figure it out and backfill the spot. Smart coach and smart kids left on the team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BoyHowdy will remain an AC (anonymous coward). I feel the comfort and security of an anonymous post brings out an honesty not found within the confines of accountability and transparency.

I agree with you 100% and preach it on a nightly basis. Not sure what happened here, but these kids need to understand just being in the wrong place at the wrong time can change life as you know it.

 

Another unfortunate incident.

At times USJ looks like a TEAM!

FA just couldn't hit the outside shot at all. FA and USJ will be a part of that first weekend in March. That is my prediction.

As for me I will be praying for Nilan. Everyone needs a second chance on a lot of things in life. Show me any one who has never made a mistake...won't see it in this lifetime.

 

Praying for the Hodge family at this time.

Been keeping an eye on Rob Marberry, FRA. Putting up some good numbers lately! Along with the other FRA Bigs of Bell, Bouldin, and Cannon seem to be playing well against quality competition. I am a little surprised about some of the wins out west though I don't know them as well. Kinda wish there was more inter-division play throughout the year so that the strength between East vs West could be gauged...but I guess that will be done only at the State level. Thanks for keeping things nice for the most part...might just be a quality post afterall.

Where's the celing for USJ's Glover? Mr. b'ball last season,and though I've not personaly been to one of his games this year,I'm hearing that he's stepped his game up to an even higher level. I believe that Lipscomb has his letter of intent(no disrespect)but if he's improved from last season,couldn't he have marketed himself to a larger(maybe D1)school?I'll have more later as I plan on seeing him in person,but this kid could be a solid prospect.

JR has officially signed with Lipscomb, which IS a D1 school. Could he have gone to a larger, absolutely. I'm not sure of the offers but I assume that he and his family felt this was a good fit for him and that he liked everything about it? I don't know much about the school but I expect him to make an impact and he won't be lost in the shuffle or never be heard from again, which happens more than not.

 

He has improved this year but he's also playing on a different type of team than in years past. Winning seems to be the main goal and not who outscores who. If you can't stop him, they will keep on giving him the ball. Ask Middleton. Triple team him and they got enough shooters to make you come out of before long. So far, it's been a joy to watch, I hope they keep it up.

USN takes on FRA tonight. Any thoughts on this matchup?
