Box and Won Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The kid Platt is with is white. Can he dunk? Can you set up a hoop in the quad so he can prove his skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The kid Platt is with is white. So in other words, he is heady, a real over-achiever, does "the little things" well, not particularly athletic, but an excellent free throw shooter. Got it.

jimbofive Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 this is my favorite target, he keeps a baller name to fit that criteria, and is a large framed 6'3 PG. he's every bit of 6'3", and looks like he could pack on muscle. and you can tell he's playing quite a bit slower than he could, to stay under control. you know he would learn to play fast in a hurry, playing with jett and mccall for a year. i'm way excited about this kid, too.

Littlebill Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Ricky Roe? Will his dad settle for a maxed out golf cart in lieu of a tractor? I don't know about this. I think Butch McRae would fit our system a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbofive Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I don't know about this.

Bizziken Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 someone watch this, at 0:35 this gym looks like a prison for players. He reminds me a little of Frank Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I also had to look it up. It appears to be located at Lafayette and Compton: http://www.slcacougars.org/default.html - which is odd, because I lived in Shaw and rode my bike by there a lot and never noticed a ton of activity. Certainly not enough to indicate a K-12 school was inhabiting those buildings. "Est. 1952." Something's not right. Looks like they push the international program; must be how they got Ike: http://www.slcacougars.org/International-Program.html That's practically on campus.

DeSmetBilliken Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 someone watch this, at 0:35 this gym looks like a prison for players. Ironically, that part of the clip was from a game at Beverly Hills High School. Until I saw the banner in the gym, I would've been more likely to guess somewhere in South Central LA.

I am surprised the gym looks like that. I guess Persians aren't huge on basketball. hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked the place up on Wikipedia to make sure the school was actually in Beverly Hills, and apparently the gym has some feature where the swimming pool is under the basketball court. Could have something to do with odd setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanBilliken Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Not gonna lie. I'd be extremely pleased if Randy Onwuasor became a Billiken. Watched that video posted of him, and usually with most recruit videos posted on here, I'm usually like, "ok that was a nice little highlight video." with this kid, i said "dayum, this kid can ball." he looked like a man among boys.

Wonder if the BH gym was the set for the famous Capra movie, "It's a Wonderful Life"... remember Jimmy Stewart falling into the pool w/ Donna Reed when the gym floor opened up.

bbtds Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Beverly Hills has good and bad neighborhoods. It's Hollywood that is truly a miserable place. Those studios just get older and older. The actors/waiters/waitresses/porn stars aren't really particular about their neighborhoods. Once you're discovered and have that one hot job you move to Malibu or Thousand Oaks or Santa Barbara....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have something to do with odd setup. This is true. I believe I wrote this before when we were talking about something. We played Beverly Hills in soccer my Jr. year so '77-'78. We were wondering around campus and the thing I remember is the gym floor slides open to a swimming pool underneath. I remember being in awe.

slu72 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I think someone mentioned he was here yesterday. He appears that he would be a good get. Big PG's gave us problems last year; the kid from X, Charlotte, and that fu&%er from Temple, Wyatt. What would be most surprising would be if SLU could actually land a left coaster. Since, it's the spring period, am sure there are BCS teams out there looking to fill in a schollie or two, so i'm guessing our odds are not good, but at least he came to visit. That's a good sign. Don't want to sound negative, just a realist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
