Best players in Class A (west)

[hoopsguru79]

1. Xavier Webb- is a talented 3 man who can shoot the 15 ft consistantly

 

2. N. Doaks- Can shoot the three but will be forced to play inside.

 

3. B Shane- very strong kid, Glisson got the most out of him.

 

Webb and Doaks will square off NOV 24th. In Atwood, TN.

I agree, hoopsguru...

 

Xavier Webb is truly one of the up and coming stars in this state, who is very underrated by many... X is a 6'8 Wing Forward who has a great touch from the outside to go along with his athletic ability, long arms, and great demeanor...

 

Watch for Xavier Webb to slowly climb the recruiting charts, and eventually push to become one of the Top 5 players in the State by his senior year...

He really did help me out this summer when my big guys tanked on me. He had a couple of highlights. He was the buzz of the tournament, you did a good job with him. Thanks gomab

Brandon Shane impressed me more than either Doakes or Webb. Look for Brandon Shane to have a big year for Greenfield.

I think you should really take a look at Dane Strayhorn and LaJoel Nance from Halls High School. In the Commercial Appeal in Memphis, they list Dane as the #1 shooter in the state! So look at ALL the schools first. Dane averages 27.3 points a game and LaJoel averages 16 points a game.

Doaks did not look good last night at Greenfield. He played inside most of the first half, and gradually drifted out to the perimeter more in the second half.

 

He looks to be to weak and thin in the post to score consistently if his turnaround J isn't falling (which it wasn't last night). And I was not at all impressed with his perimeter skills.

 

From what I have seen, Webb is by far a better player than Doaks. He looks much more comfortable and fluid on the perimeter on offense. And he also has a pretty good inside game.

 

Brandon Shane pretty much had his way with Doaks, despite giving up several inches in height. Doaks did have a few blocked shots, but for the most part was ineffective on both ends of the floor.

 

I think Webb and Shane could easily move out to the perimeter at the next level. Both have a good handle and pretty good shot. They are also both quick enough to guard on the perimeter. I don't think Doaks could move out as easily.

 

And kenia, I definitely think Strayhorn should be getting more attention than he is.

Doaks relys on his turn around jumper and in a year of playing against him and watching this year, if he has his back to the basket, I have never seen him make a post move going to the hole. When those shots aren't falling, he isn't very tough to guard. He has pretty good looking form on his 3's but I wouldn't want him playing out side if I was his coach.

 

Webb and Shane are the best post players in their own regions. Both can score on a jumpers, make moves going to the hole, and play outside. It is going to be an interesting rematch next week after Greenfield finally has a couple wins and some confidence.

Did anyone else notice that UTM's Coach Campbell was at the Greenfield - Trenton game? I wonder who he was watching???

 

Hope (for his sake) it wasn't Doaks. If so, he left mighty disappointed I'm sure.

[jvaughan]

I think that he is after both Clint and Brandon. I heard this from a very reliable source who is friends of Coach Campbell.

[ifiruledtheworld]

That would be great. I think both of them would be a tremendous help to UTM's team. They both had a pretty good game last night. Are they being recruited by anyone else?

 

Anybody know who might be looking at others in West TN?

The coach here at Union has been asking me about both Clint and Brandon but other than asking if they might be interested, he hasn't done much.
