Bear Down Wildcats

I'm predicting it now, Alkins will be near Rondae levels of popular. He seems to have a similar level of talent meets humbleness and fun

Diarrhea

Why not both (especially on the defensive end. . .)?

Ok, over the weekend I tried watching the Ballislife AA game. Before we go further, I know it's an allstar game, and adjusted my defensive expectations accordingly.

Good lord, that was some of the worst basketball I've ever seen in a quasi-organized setting. The D made the McD's game look like the Bad Boy Pistons and there were double figure alley oops chucked out of bounds.

I know it's an allstar game. Ferguson and Alkins have bright futures in Arizona uniforms. That game showcased nothing, though. Ugh.

Must suck to cover these games as part of a recruiting website. Some truly bad basketball to behold.

RA and TF with just some nasty, nasty dunks in here. Gonna be one of the most athletic teams Miller's had.

Our backcourt is ridiculous next season.

Unbelievable! Gonna rock the house.

given the summer circuit is so important to college recruiting, I am surprised it continues to devolve into chuck and duck basketball. The coaches can't be in every high school gym to recruit, but the summer AAU and, to some extent, all star circuit allows one setting to watch multiple players. It is more important than the school season...so it is surprising the coaches haven't exerted some pressure to have the games truly showcase all applicable skills.

A little bit fluffy, but...

Player of the game! 19/9

Also 49 points with 20 rebounds in the last 3 games

Yes. Didn't take a bad shot. Love when he hits the glass.

Rawle looked good today. Seems to be figuring things out fast.

Starting to feel more comfortable at this level. Love how he crashes the glass

Rawle been playing very well last few games

Terminator

I changed my mind it should be punisher

Both he and Kobi will have ups and downs, but they are both highly rated guys for a reason. That's why if we get Trier and PJC back, this could be a dangerous team.

This is a really good freshman class

Alkins is, as promised, a Miller-type player. He's like Parrom but with more talent.

We lacked that last year.

“We had two other freshmen really step up,” Miller said of Alkins and Simmons. “You look at what they did tonight: 15-of-28 from the field, 7-of-13 from three, eleven rebounds, 38 points, both of ‘em played 37 minutes.”

“That’s why we were able to win the basketball game.”

Rawle and Kobi doing their thing. Like poetry on the court.

Just have him stay away from girls with jealous gangster boyfriends.

I'd say he's what we hoped Fendi Onobun would be.

One downside to megathreads.

Sorry. Edited to something much more pleasant. Everyone else edit theirs to the same, ok?

Click on the little icon to the left of the title, it automatically takes you to the last unread post. Then the post at the top will only be a minor flash (if anything) while the page loads

Now you have to edit yours PRH. This is spreading like gonnorhea, take your posts to the free clinic

Maybe.

hey guys whats going on here

Bump.

The team chemistry on this board is amazing.

I really like this team.

As long as I'm starting, chem will be fine.

In the massively underrated book "Loose Balls" by Terry Pluto, there's a great anecdote about Fly Williams. His team was down big at the half, and the coach gave a 5 minute impassioned speech about how there was only one way for them to get back into the game, and that was to play as a team. He spoke about how they needed to rely on each other, share the ball and help on defense.

Then, just before they headed back out on the floor, he asked if the players had anything to add. Fly chimed in "you all just need to throw me the ball and get out of the way and I'll handle this."

Rondae got a tattoo of Rondae on his back. GOAT.

Is that the ABA book? "Fly's open. Go Peay!"

Shortstop Garry Templeton had the right attitude when asked about the All-Star game: "If I ain't startin', I ain't departin'..."

Rawle's build and style of play is that of a mythical god or ancient warrior. He's like an Ares, Kratos, Shaka Zulu, Leonidas or Maximus.

Dude is built like Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. Google that, sit back, and breathe in the awe of the resemblance.
