We Need Better Players

[We R Final Four]

Whatever-suck it teamdee! Lets see how Brook Cent does against a great team--too funny!! Suck it.

[GGGG]

LMAO. Might want to check the facts before you post a condescending comment. Rondae Jefferson, a 6'7" senior point guard committed to Arizona and a top 20 recruit in the 2013 class on Chester, did not play today. Still a nice win, but not quite the same team without a probable McDonald's All American. Nice effort!

The comment wasn't condescending....and you were wrong.  Don't make excuses.

DON'T MAKE EXCUSES?! LOL! Yeah so let's take Looney off of Hamilton and watch them get torn apart in the city league. Losing Looney doesn't change anything for them though. Lol. Clueless.

Whatever dude.

You were wrong.

You can't admit it.

<yawn>

Go away now.

Not sure what you're saying he was wrong about anyways. If you read his post he says if BC hangs with Chester then maybe Germantown really is legit but if they get blown out then they aren't. He didn't say whether he thought they'd get blown out or not.

And by the way, taking a top 15 recruit off of a high school basketball team is a big, big deal. Even if he wasn't a top recruit, not having your starting point guard is a huge deal. Just think if BC didn't have LaChance (a very nice traditional) playing. They would be an entirely different team. He had 31 points against GTown and was the sole reason they had a shot to win the game. That's what good players can do for a team in high school. They can make an average team a good team. A McD's All American player? He can make a bad team an undefeated team in high school. Take that away mid season with no time to adjust? Back to an average or bad team.

But yeah, LeBron James's St. Mary's team still would've gotten Nike deals, nationally televised games, National Championships, etc. without LeBron James. Or not. To say BC's win over Chester without Rondae Jefferson (a complete stud...check out his YouTube videos, he had all the weapons) is as impressive as it would've been with him is simply wrong. It's silly to deny that.

But he is only a high school player so he can't be that good.

Man Brew, you kick so many facts at random, I would swear you're in your underwear Batman pajama pants, in the basement living room with a year supply of jerky coffee, running 5 flat screens 6 browser windows all tuned to Milwaukee college basketball news. GOT SOAP? LOL.  YOU ARE THE MAN.

That would be more accurate. And I shower every day. And thank you, I am

I was at the game. Chester's best play came from point guard. On paper and eye test, this looked to be a blow out. When your TEAM is ranked highly nationally, it isn't because of one guy. Take Parker off of Simeon and they still destroy most. Chester definitely had good players and some huge bodies, they just couldn't buy an outside shot. Once BC packed in their zone rather than extending it, Chester would settle for long shots and they didn't fall. By the time they figured out that wouldn't work, BC was up 4 or 5 and in the bonus. As we know, traditionals love them some free throws and BC put it away. BC was on the verge of getting blown out in the first quarter.

Your example of taking LaChance off of BC or even Looney off Hamilton is not a good one. Even with those guys, these teams aren't even close to a nationally ranked squad. Good win for BC.

Team Oh doubted Germantown was legit and then threw in this Chester/BC litmus test. Missing player, outcome, whatever -- Germantown is a good team with great high  school players of which, 4/5 will get their college paid for through scholarship. Their margin of victory is skewed because they have played some downright horrible teams.

And in answer to Team Oh asking if I've ever sat court side to see the speed of the game, I have. It is a different perspective, but basketball is basketball. Duane Wilson has a quick shot and he will have no problem getting it off in college -- this is where I lost some respect for your opinion -- dude is lightning quick, uses pump fakes and gets whatever shot he wants all summer long on the AAU circuit. Cadougan gets his shot off just fine, but a leaner, quicker Duane Wilson will struggle?

In an unrelated note, Diamond Stone was at the game and he is just a monster.

Any water proof LED screens in the shower?

BTW, have the nuptials taken place, yet?

All that time tracking college basketball, and still time left over to romance a top-flight babe.

Your are indeed, the man.

I don't follow WI high school basketball much outside of Marquette recruits. Nor do I have much of a grasp of national rankings among high schools. However, it appears at least 1 person believes Germantown is a pretty good team.

TeamOh has a point, this team's offense is pretty bad, maybe recruiting better offensive players is the right idea.  Can't always rely on defense to win games, sometimes a consistent scorer is necessary, which this team is lacking. 

[kmwtrucks]

I personally Feel Buzz should only recruit 5 star player's.  The fact we are bringing in (4) 4 Star player's next year is not acceptable.   Of our 11 player's 6 were top 100's and Mayo, Ferg, were both top 150 and Gardner and Wilson were right on the cusp of top 150.  The only guy that was not rated as a HM was Otule.  Buzz is not a top 10 name coach at this point and MU is not a top 10 name program.  The fact that we have done so well the last 10 years is becuase in general the coach's have out worked other Coach's.

Again, I don't think anyone's arguing with the fact that more scorers on this team would help.  It's just a) the fact that there's very little we can do about it now and b) the way TeamOh communicates his points that has most of the posters riled up.

Hold on.  Are you saying that under Buzz we have relied on defense to win games?

Did someone ban the use of teal or must we rely on on advanced intelligence to recognize sarcasm?

[TeamOh]

DOH!  Brook Central didn't do any of you all any favors in losing to 5-9 overall, 1-6 in the Classic 8 Waukesha North last night.

But yeah, not having Rondae Jefferson had no impact on the outcome of their game with Chester
