That got started on powermizzou - somebody bumped an old thread and people started running with it because they didn't look at the date it was originally posted - it was from last fall.

That's pretty hilarious. Reminds me of the five-year-old celebrity obituaries that go viral on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kids of note: -Bol Bol - #7 (5 star) - Manute Bol's son who played in the KC area, but now at Mater Dei. Plays with Cal Supreme (with Shaq's son apparently who is ranked #16) -Darius Garland - #8 (5 star) - plays with Bradley Beal Elite -Jontay Porter - #23 (5 star) - plays with MOKAN Elite -Carte'Are Gordon - #24 (5 star) - SLU commit - plays with MOKAN Elite -Courtney Ramey - #29 (4 star) - plays with Ramey-Jets United -Ayo Dosunmu - #30 (4 star) - plays with the Mac Irvin Fire -Tim Finke - #88 (4 star) - plays with Meanstreets (played with the Eagles last spring) -Torrence Watson - #100 (4 star) - plays with Ramey-Jets United -Jordan Lathon (from Grandview, MO) - #138 (3 star) - plays with Team Rush -Karrington Davis - #145 (3 star) - plays with Bradley Beal Elite Rankings only go to 150, no Fred Thatch. Session #1 of the EYBL is this weekend, so hopefully we can get some info on how things are going for him with Bradley Beal Elite. https://n.rivals.com/prospect_rankings/rivals150/2018 I'll be at the EYBL session tonight. I'll SEE THE KIDS PLAY against high level talent. I'll also stalk Ford to see what games he watches. A few years ago, Crews and Bronson just followed the Eagles (Tatum) around all weekend. It will be interesting to see if Ford follows Brad Beale Elite or moves around. Last year, French was on the PSA Cardinals and he didn't even stand out because his team was so stacked. Ford has offered so many guys it will be impossible to watch them all. I'm most interested in watching how Thatch plays against high D1 talent.....also watching Marvin Bagley again. He plays basketball like you play nerf ball on the back of your bedroom door. Must be nice to be 6'11". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Carte'Are Gordon is playing with Brad Beal Elite this spring, so they are pretty stacked with Gordon/Wiseman/Okoro in the post and Garland running the show in addition to kids like Karrington Davis, Joe Reece, Fred Thatch, Shaun Williams, Jericole Hellems, and Kale Catchings. That is a really deep team, but not many true guards, so Thatch should see a lot of time playing more in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything on twitter about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFord and TRavs Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Did he do that so he could play with Thatch? That would be refreshing to see and prove his commitment to SLU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was in the best interest of everyone to have him closer to home playing with BBE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it looks like they really don't do the best job of updating that site. Gordon is still listed on the MOKAN roster on that site to and Jontay Porter isn't listed as a Mizzou commit.

757billiken Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Some quick tidbits: no ford sighting yet. Calipari watching e1t1 game. Roy Williams watching MoKan. Josh Pastner is fat. Jon scheyer looks even nerdier in person. Bryce drew is the cool guy with earbuds in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
