While Chris Livingston has to be the best player in Ohio, I'm not sure the schedule at Buchtel will garner him the votes. Other than him, you'd have to look pretty hard to find a better player than Malaki Branham at STVM.
He's a top player but not #1 Malaki is and he is also going to Ohio StateMeechie Johnson is the #1 rated senior in the state. Flying a little under the radar because he did not play last year while recovering from a torn ACL.
He is back playing for his uncle and previous Ohio Mr. Basketball winner Sonny Johnson. Expect Meechie to put up some big numbers this year and have a huge year for Garfield.
Meechie is now 6’3 (4-5 inches bigger than when we last saw him in HS). He looked really good in limited action this summer on the AAU Midwest Circuit.
He is also an Ohio State commit which definitely helps with voting.
Meechie may be ranked behind Malaki according to ESPN but if you have watched both of them play recently Meechie is by far the better player. He used his time at ISA very wisely and is a beast now.He's a top player but not #1 Malaki is and he is also going to Ohio State
However you rank the two of them, things are looking pretty good for OSU basketball down the road!Meechie may be ranked behind Malaki according to ESPN but if you have watched both of them play recently Meechie is by far the better player. He used his time at ISA very wisely and is a beast now.
Hope your are right . . . I think one of the blue bloods are going to come in and take Meechie away from OSU. Remember he missed an entire season so OSU was the safe committment.However you rank the two of them, things are looking pretty good for OSU basketball down the road!
I really like Johnson's game. And Bob Huggins won't recruit you if you aren't a hard-nosed player! He has a chance to be in the POY conversation, but he'll need to show he can lift that team to the next level. The Bulldogs appear to have a lot of talent this year; with Kobe being their best player. If he and the team perform at a level commensurate to that talent, he certainly should get some well-deserved POY consideration.How about Kobe Johnson, Canton McK and WVU Bound?
Malaki Branham will be a name to watch.
How is he still eligible to playBrady Uhl back for his 5th year of high school in a very strange situation has my vote.
That's good news. I haven't seen a bb game yet this year and I've usually have seen about 10 or so by this time. Is it parents only? Anyone know?The fact he is a tOSU commit won’t hurt him either.
