But honestly...Thanks for the Mike Gilchrist update. But honestly those guys making money scouting HS players are nowhere as good or qualified as I am lol. I really mean it and they know it! Guys who really know are the actual AAU Coaches along with guys like Ed Butler in NJ and a few others. Just because you make a dime does not mean you really know. And trust me those rating services are very political. But anyone who really knows me will tell you I have been around the game a while and understand what I am watching. Also most of those guys evaluating never ever played basketball on the college level and many never even played in HS. tell them LF told you this and they will say how I have been saying this for years. Most never even played HS ball lol. <br /><br />From watching Mike, I now understand why he does not play showcase games. he is not a guy who would stand out. he does alot of things well and plays great in a team concept. In a showcase type event he would be decent but far from great because of the one on one stuff etc/ But again I do think he is a high D1 guy but very similar to the kid from St. Patricks who went to Kansas but has transferred. Mike will be a star, but I am not sure he will be a stud. I look forward to watching him next week in the Primetime. maybe I will sit with the experts who get paid to evaluate despite being on the bowling team when they were in HS lOL.<br /><br />Really thanks for your comments!LFBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156215644364582419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-54911336476385616532010-01-29T11:28:35.169-05:002010-01-29T11:28:35.169-05:00There are games where Michael looks like a high D1...There are games where Michael looks like a high D1 prospect than there are games (see Findlay where he controlled the game defensively on a badly sprained ankle) where he looks like the most dominating player in the country.<br /><br />Also see his Oak Hill game as a sophomore when he destroyed Tiny Gallon and crew. I've also seen videos over the summer when he runs all over the top players in the country, scoring at will and sticking guards as well as blocking big men in the post. And all the guys who make a living from scouting, guys who see all of his summer games and a fair # of his regular season games, say he's #1. They see a heck of a lot more games than I do, so there's gotta be something to it.<br /><br />I don't agree with your viewpoint but I can hear where you're coming from.Ryan Biddulphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904095186047689604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-7583138770465473832010-01-26T16:28:38.881-05:002010-01-26T16:28:38.881-05:00I totally understand what you are saying.

I really thank guys like my sons HS coach Curtis march and AAU coaches Gary Charles, Doc Necelli, and Jim Couch for being very understanding.<br /><br />But as far as Tobias I agree about his skills. Not sure about the gun powder but he better be ready when he hits Tennesee in the fall!LFBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156215644364582419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-51472317959103600742010-01-26T14:18:43.987-05:002010-01-26T14:18:43.987-05:00I was at the Loughlin vs HHHW game and although Lo...I was at the Loughlin vs HHHW game and although Loughlin lost Jayvaugh severely outplayed Tobias. It wasn't even close in the first half when Pinkston scored 13 pts and 4 rebs to Harris' 4 pts and 4 rebs. The kids HArris is very skilled there is no doubt about that but I have to wonder about his gun powder. He needs some more gunpowder in his dog food. Pinkston should not have bragged about being the best player in the state of New York especially in a loss but in his defense that is how it was billed including parents and coaches.Panthers Basketballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910347651568458868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-66146384593846632852010-01-26T11:40:30.811-05:002010-01-26T11:40:30.811-05:00Gene Marshall: I knew it was only a matter of time...Gene Marshall: I knew it was only a matter of time!!!<br /><br />He may be the guy for us but it seems the reports of the demise of Joe Quinlan have been greatly exaggerated.SPK145https://www.blogger.com/profile/00982801876628480199noreply@blogger.com
