Kiyon Boyd coming in as a non qualifier? He may not be playing organized basketball for a while if he ever does again. He made a really bad choice recently.

Some kids embellish when speaking about their offers...

Love the sound of this guy..."6'6...sweet 3 pt shooting lefty...smart, precise passer...attacks the rim with verve..." tough, and can play 3 positions, including point...would make him a top priority but probably need some advantage to get him from West Coast... Funny but his two best offers to date are UVA and Georgetown. He's a bit under the radar right now. Has a lot of football offers. Coaches may feel like he’s leaning that way

Nice finger role. So why hasn’t he had HM’s on him? Not like he’s playing in obscurity. Size. Really slim

Just a couple of points. Let me first mention the majority of Loaded's games at the Adidas championships in July are online and you can watch all of them. 1) He started more games than he came off the bench. They usually started a 3 guard lineup. In the beginning (Spring session) he did not start but as Boyd struggled Mac replaced him. 2) AAU is about showcasing kids so starting isn't necessarily that big of a deal. While not the norm, some coaches will start a different 5 each game in an effort to get their kids seen. 3) He didn't play with the ball in his hands that much. There were games/stretches when he did run the show but it wasn't necessarily his primary role. This is true 4) Loaded did a good job of playing together and sharing the ball so no one player seemed to dominate the scoring for them. Their leading scorer averaged under 13 a game and they had 8 players averaging between (rounding up) 6-13 ppg. Expecting anyone to put up huge numbers for them isn't really realistic. To many guys that are capable and it's hard to go off when you don't get consistent touches. That effects rankings also, I would expect a few of those kids to outplay theirs.. 5) When he did play on ball he played more like a game manager than a ball dominate pg, but again that could be due to the environment and talent surrounding him. It wouldn't make sense, or show any semblance of B-ball iq to play on Loaded like he does for Gate City. By all accounts he works really hard on his game. My feeling is if you have talent, will, and work ethic that usually wins out in the end, and he has all three. If no additions are made I expect his numbers freshman season to be similar to Blair's and Pickett's. Those are normal Freshman numbers. I think both have played fine, and expect them to be much better next year. I could see Mac doing similar things. I want to stress the fact that's a normal progression for Freshman. Struggle early. Show flashes and noticeable improvement Sophomore year. Become key pieces as upperclassmen. I think all three could play together so it's not really a competition imo. I also think the hype around him is totally unfair to him. He seems to handle it well, and being a marked man everywhere he goes isn't bad for his development at all. The competition is weak but some of the plays and shots he makes are college ready and would work against better comp. Some of the drives and other more athletic plays may not be considering the size he would face down low. The fact that he isn't just relying on his athleticism to get over is a positive sign, and I expect him to be a good player for us eventually. Hopefully that comes sooner than later but if it takes time, that's fine, and totally normal. This is perfect

This isn't happening. Kid has a lot of boxes to check before he can think about playing college basketball anywhere. If he does and I really hope he does, it CANT be at Georgetown

Any news on Javian? Things are very quiet. I thought there would be a decision by now.I'm sure the coaches are still pursuing talent for 2018. Rivals article from earlier this week mentioned he's not expected to commit until next month

I think this something to monitor...especially with Stewart blowing up and playing in the midwest. What is the connection to Bacot again? Same AAU team

Classic stuff! I don't know anything about the guy who was supposed to perform but it did sound like he had some legal "issues" in his past. You might have thought they vetted that before the announcement, but "stuff" happens. Stil should be a great night for the program Yo Gotti will be performing. Got lucky with a really popular backup performer
