I thought Centerville had a chance to hang with Moe this year until they lost their starting center to La Lamiere Prep. That was a big loss and changed the dynamics of their starting line-up. With Njie, the Elks would have been big & athletic (6'9", 6'7", 6'5", 6'2", 6'1"). Without Njie, the Elks will lack the depth in the paint to contend with Moe and to guard or score out of the post position. I do expect the Elks to run through the GWOC with ease.
Didn’t know Mccracken moved that may hurt
It is great to have big guys, but you need the skill too. Is Cupps 6’1”? Moe has skill, IQ, size and EXPERIENCE.
CVILLE and Wayne with maybe everybody but Moeller. East and Oak Hills are usually tough. Princeton is looking better. No GWOC team could win the GMC.
Exactly. After last year, they want his first team all-state nomination to be fathomable.
I saw him 3-4 times last year and was not overly impressed. he is good, not great IMO. I thought he took too many shots and did little to make his teammates better. Curious that Njie's family decided to move on. I have always been a fan of coach Cupps as an outside observer, but Njie leaving does bring some questions to my mind about the focus of the program. mind you, the young man was a freshman, so there is reason to expect improvement in the areas of shot volume and improving his teammates. just felt to me like he was too much of the focus of the team last season.
I had somebody mad at me cause i laughed at him being Allstate anything
The Cupps family is untouchable in CVILLE. They are good.
I watched CVille a couple of times. He was good. Had some turnovers, good passes made some shots, forced some things and seemed to tire a little. He was a freshman and with his build I guess that was to be expected. Hopefully, I will get to watch them play this year.
yes. similar thoughts from me. i am sure he will improve. i tend to put a lot of value on how one's play improves a team and i thought he was a little short on that.
Lakota East blew out Hamilton in their opener. Heard the two transfer weren’t very good. Seven footer ran around on the perimeter the whole game. It was a blowout. Lead reached 30 at one point.
A lot of 7-footers get recruited on potential. There's just not that many of them out there.
Yes but he was a freshman. Hard to tell how he improved the team since we don't have an alternate universe where he wasn't on the team last season.
i believe i did mention his age in my earlier post and i suggested in the one you quoted that i expect he will improve. i do however have the ability to judge a player's contribution to his team and whether or not his play lifted the play of his teammates. It is my opinion that he did not show well in that respect. I believe he needs to improve that facet of his game.
Sorry to offend your observational capabilities. Guess you didn't recognize tongue in cheek. Is there an emoji for that so I can use it in the future?
i accept the apology and issue my own to you for not recognizing your intention.
Can't teach height, quickest way to make money! Run the court. rebound, make lay-ups = multi-millionaire
Surprising how many can't do even that. But need to be able to shoot a bit now to to make the big bucks. But should be able to get D1 scholarship and contribute doing what you said.
Trice first year at Wayne was 2008. Wayne went 21-3. Knocked off Elder and Kyle Rudolph in the districts before falling to Withrow and Yancy Gates in the Regionals. “ok” at best? ?.
Read more closely. He said Wayne was ok at best before Trice hired.
