That’s a surprise. He would have been a very good fit in that style of play with Whitmer.Figured it was time to start the new thread.
Jalen Brown has decided to stay at Emmanuel Christian rather than transferring to Whitmer.
Whitmer is getting 4 transfers who could start on every other NLL team?In addition to Makhi Leach ('25) from Central, Elijah McLeod ('24) from Wauseon, and Tyler Patterson ('25) from Emmanuel, Whitmer also got Andre Young ('26) from Emmanuel.
Just a term meaning leaving A to go to BWhne going to an in district, is it a "transfer" if leaving a private school? Or is that just a semantic word?
Do they all live in Whitmer school district? If not how are they not sitting out second half of the season?View attachment 45241
Makhi Leach transfers from Toledo Central Catholic to Toledo Whitmer and joins Tylin Patterson from Emmanuel Christian and McLeod from Wauseon.
Not sure if they still have the Scott transfer point guard. if they do that’s a really good roster.
Really good 2025 guard. Offers from Toledo and I think a couple more D1 schools.
Nice pickup for the Whitmer Panthers.
I have no idea where they live. I’m assuming they will be able to play without sitting half the season. Very rarely do you see sitting in the second half with the exceptions now a days.Do they all live in Whitmer school district? If not how are they not sitting out second half of the season?
They’d miss 1/2 a season as OE, have to be in district to play all year.I thought Whitmer was open enrollment. Why would they need housing?
Central sends people to hide in bushes. They will not tolerate this as they are the only game in town that can recruit. Look for a heavy handed OHSAA investigation to follow.How do people know where all these kids live? That’s strange.
Or the fact Leach older brother went to Rogers. Gret time to have rentals in Washington local. Terrible time to be an aspiring athlete coming thru Washington local, especially in hoops.Central sends people to hide in bushes.

See your point, West, Leach and Patterson all played year’s together on Glenwood AAU team. However, with college scholarships on the line those years of togetherness might go out the window.TBH when I have seen talent assembled like this in the past it has rarely worked out. Just one ball to go around and the gel never takes place.
I don’t think it will be an issue for those 3. Patterson is a football kid and that’s where his offers will come from. Both West and Leach are smart kids and also have a former college coach coaching them now. He will definitely tell them the truth ,which is the college offers they are looking for come from two things. A deep state run or their summer basketball. So they will understand a college scholarship is not on the line during any NLL game or mid level out of conference game that is not part of a showcase like Flying to The Hoop.See your point, West, Leach and Patterson all played year’s together on Glenwood AAU team.

Yeah just 1 game I think. Should’ve just went independent.Looks like the CHSL doesn't play a round robin schedule so the privates don't have a full slate listed yet. St. Francis has Liberty-Benton on the schedule so I guess anything goes.
which A: doesn't have better academics and B: doesn't have a better coach. Speculated reasoning behind the change? Better parking?Heard the Horton’s left Northview and are at SFS

I wasn't looking for source. I was looking for speculation on reasons for transfer. SFS has neither better academics nor better basketball coaching than Northview. That's not a slam on either SFS's academics or coaching. Just a I think fairly objective understanding.It was in the blade
Definitely not better parking.which A: doesn't have better academics and B: doesn't have a better coach. Speculated reasoning behind the change? Better parking?
They must have the worst parking in the city. Northview is a mess to get into to, then a mess to find a spot.Definitely not better parking.
