D2 AAA favorite

[plato]

BA has to be the odds on favorite this year. Their big man is already being looked at by NBA scouts as a possible early entry and he's only a junior.

 

Who else?

[liljon]

Lausanne or Briarcrest. Memphis is due for D2 championship

[mayor10111]

Lausanne doesn't have a bench to speak of and are going to miss carlos taylor a bunch. the top teams out of the west this year are going to be briarcrest,cbhs, and st. benedict who returns everyone including peyton. the small school div. in the west is going to be nowhere near what it has been in the last few years.

best of..

 

west - briarcrest

 

middle - BA

 

east - baylor

 

still think that BA is taking the trophy again

[liljon]

Briarcrest doesnt have any guards. they have good post players but they dont have anybody to get them the ball. Lausanne doesnt have much of a bench but it will be interesting to see how far that starting five can take them. they finish 7-1 at Belmont team camp just playin 5 players a game. they'll win small scool division easily and i look for them to make some noise in the region

[WesVLT]

Brentwood Academy with a 3-peat this year and a 4-peat next year. Brandon Wright will win a gold ball every year of high school, and will perhaps play for a different golden ball after that.

 

As long as BA can figure out BGA this year, the Eagles shouldn't have a problem dominating the DII ranks.

Brentwood has Brandon Wright and their point guard from last year but wheat else do they have? Brandon Wright's little brother who obviously didn't get any basketball genes with how bad he is. We played them at camp this year and they looked more like a jv team. Just give Brandon Wright his 25 points a game and shut down the rest of the team and anyone can beat them. I wouldn't doubt it if NOtre Dame beat them this year. Baylor has also taken a shot. They lost Tindell, Shakleford, and one of their other startes. THey have no depth. I say McCallie or Knox Catholic for the east DII.

i still believe out of the west it will be between briarcrest,cbhs and st. benedict. i saw lausanne play this summer as well. jason peters couldn't win it all with all the talent,why would u think all of the sudden he could win it with limited talent. the bigger schools will dominate the west this year.

You may very well have played the BA second team in camp. They played

three separate camps this summer and many times split the squads or

starters sat out. BA lost one reserve from last year's state championship

team to graduation. All of the starters from last year return. Also, Josh Bone will

be returning from his ACL injury from last year. As long as they stay healthy, they will be the team to beat in D2.

 

Regardless, one game in team camp setting means nothing. Win during the

regular season and then you can talk trash.

I assume you're joking, right? I agree that the "other" B. Wright is just adequate, not great, but with the "real" B. Wright, Revelette, Bone, Turner, Kottas, Beasley, Garrett, etc. coming back, it would be a huge upset for BA to not win DII this year.

 

Briarcrest and Baylor look to be the other top teams this year.

Yeah BA should win the title again with Brandon already there and Josh being back they are going to take BA to another title

I think its gonna come down to Briarcrest and St. Benedict coming from the west but I can't see either team pulling it off in state. Briarcrest lacks guards and thats all St. Benedict has. Watch out for Reggie Peyton once playoff time comes around. This guy is coming into his senior year and he gets better everytime I see him play. As far as the small schools, I don't see any of them truly competing. Lausanne and Bishop Byrne will both be down this year and I think thats really the only competitive small schools anyway.
