I found this today...hilarious.
"November, 2007: Michael Chandler is one of the most talented big men in the 2011 class, but if you want to see him play, you better get to the JV game at Lawrence North High School. He runs the floor extremely well, he is active on both ends of the floor and he rebounds very well. He is very coordinated for a kid his size and his age. He oozes with potential and is certain to attract a lot of attention as he gets older and continues to develop as a player."
Who is Michael Chandler? He is ranked as the 22nd best player in the class of 2011 by ESPN. Where else can you find one of the best players in America, playing JV Basketball? haha

More accurately: Welcome to Lawrence North High School
It's amazing how much talent is contained within that school.

Kyree Jones transferred to a school in Texas. I read this about him:
Jones is getting looks from Oregon State, Arkansas, Geogria Southern, Houston, Texas Southern, Wichita State, and Miami (OH), are recruiting him, while Kent State, George Mason, IUPUI, and Texas Southern have all offered. “IU and Purdue both stopped recruiting me because they think I’m a thug and I’ve transferred too much,” stated Jones. “But I’m going to prove them wrong. Im just gunna kill fam, I’m gunna kill. I use this as motivation, just more fuel to the fire. I’m going all out.

Based on those comments, I'm shocked that they think he is a thug.  |

Based on those comments, I'm shocked that they think he is a thug. To be fair, Kelvin Sampson would've probably signed Jones already. |

Is Chandler hurt? I sure hope not, but I didn't see his name in boxscores for some of the earlier games. He seems like an awesome ball player though.

Also, sometimes they only score in the 40's. I would think with all that they have, that people like Ferguson and VanTreese would be fast breaking and alley ooping a lot.
Chris Read's sister Ashley goes to Grace! She is cool!

Even with Conley/Oden/Etc they didn't get out and run very often.
It doesn't really play to the strength of a team with superior big's to take them out of the game by running/gunning all night.
Especially for a guy like Van Treese, who isn't the most athletically gifted/motivated person on the court.
