Was at their game last night against a short handed Arlington Martin. Martin’s entire bench was ineligible due to a fight against Lewisville the game before. (11 guys) Slowed the game down with a UNT four corner offense. Appeared to be the better team until one of their better kids fouled out. (Continued to play with 4 fouls in the 2nd quarter)

OK, I’ll keep it real. Don’t think this kid is a big time recruit. He is, however, another kid that fits the McCasland system perfectly. Scored 2 points last night. Shared bringing the ball up court against the Martin pressure. If you’re not familiar with Lake Highlands, they have a 5 star wing (Trey Johnson) who is the number 1 Junior in Texas and projected to be the #1 recruit in the Country in the 2024 class. He didn’t disappoint. A future first round NBA prospect. 
 

Washington is a smallish true point guard. Good handles and quickness but I don’t see him elevating the program. Don’t remember seeing any outside shots. They also have a slender 6-10 center that is somewhat raw but can really jump. 

Good to see both UNT recruits continue to advance to the 3rd round of the HS playoffs Friday.

Couple more videos. My observations are he likes going to the rim. When he crosses somebody and gets them off balance, his instinct is to hit the open hole and get the lay-up, not take the open 3 like Perry would but like the first video here shows, he can hit the open 3 in a catch and shoot situation. Loves the crossover and behind the back dribbles. Good handles overall.

Transfers to Dynamic Prep in Irving where former NBA All-Star Jermaine O'Neal will be his head coach. I hope we hold on to him. Also wouldn't mind if we could land the commitment of his new teammate, Jermaine O'Neal Jr. Back to Washington, he keeps ascending. Just strikes me as one of those guys who wins in life. Eager to see that come true when he arrives on campus.

      If…..

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.
