Cowboy Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 -what was also impressive last night is that the CBC students were giving CG and WGHS grief over items that have been reported on here and elsewhere, CG seemed to handle it well and his overall demeanor seemed more even keel, I liked what I saw of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched a few highlight videos, but he looked determined and focused last night. Really energetic reactions after his big plays. Seemed to be having fun, too.

RUBillsFan Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Both Thatch (Sikeston - class 4) and Gordon (Webster Groves - class 5) are in their respective final fours for MO state championships. It would be pretty cool to be bringing in 2 MO state champions with next years class. Although Gordon already has one so I guess it’s just Thatch that needs one.

Given the current pay-to-play issues in CBB, I assume you meant "bringing in" and not "bribing in." At least I hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Since 1939 the KY high school All Stars have played the IN HS All Stars. It used to be a lot bigger deal than it is now with the multitude of All Star games. It will be fun to see if Pearson plays in that game.

It's hard to think of this group ever being out rebounded! Also remember this team had to change their original aggressive rebounding due to low player count. Teams will be scared to rebound against us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I really don't understand how those recruit ranking systems work... They aren’t about anything other than hyping up certain guys in order to get clicks. Guys who are already seniors, and especially ones who are already committed, aren’t going to get much attention from the people doing the rankings unless they end up going to a high-major program with a large fan base (see Mark Smith last year). They’re too busy deciding who will be at the top of the 2021 & 2022 rankings when those come out. That’s where the clicks are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBC student section is exactly the same as it was in the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just see so few big guys move and pass like he does. The A10 is going to get tired of playing against our teams pretty quickly. Can’t wait to see Gordon and French playing high-low and making great post-to-post passes for dunks and lay-ins. Playing inside-out is going to work well for us with two excellent post scorers.

Playing inside-out is going to work well for us with two excellent post scorers. I hope everyone watches that video. Gordon's footwork is outstanding. He moves really well without the ball, too, getting himself in good spots. He's a great passer for a big. The only thing he does in the video that he won't get away with in college is using his arms too much to get a little space. He got away with 1-2 fouls in this clip. Easy habit to break, though. Sure, he's eating his lunch against a team that makes you wonder how they got to the quarterfinals (the competition in St. Charles County must be WEAK), but the things he does are undeniable. And you guys are right, with his frontcourt mates next season, we should see great things. Gordon had 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in this game, by the way. Ramey and Gordon went to the bench with a minute left in the third quarter and didn't return. WG won 78-45 and will face Liberty (22-7) Thursday night in Springfield. I would expect another WG win.
