The matchup with Norcross will pit Greg vs. Al Farouq Aminu They also draw Lincoln HS in the Prime Time Shootout, which creates an interesting matchup with Lance Stephenson. On edit, it looks like Hargrave draws Winchendon (Riek/Riek Suas) and Notre Dame Prep (Terrence Jennings et al.) in the National Prep Showcase next weekend. |

Braswell had 11 points in the championship game of the Louisburg Tournament over the weekend. Hargrave appears to have a balanced attack this season.

Hargrave plays at Guilford College on 12/4. That is right up the street from me, so I will plan on attending. Thanks for posting the schedules.

That's great. He and his boy will be in the DC area together. I'm sure there will be plenty of trips over to the HU campus for GM. Hell, with the eye candy available on their campus, he'd be trippin' over just for that.

georgetown.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=740874By the numbers, Bras had his best game of the season today against Notre Dame Prep and T. Jennings (Louisville commit, former UMCP verbal). Bras finished with 24 and 13 (only 1 turnover) in 24 minutes of play. Jennings finished with 3 points and was apparently hampered by foul trouble. Rivals had this to say, "Hargrave got a huge game out of Braswell, who was by far the most productive post player in the game. He scored in the low post going to his right hand and on put backs. His physicality got him to the line numerous times." Hargrave came away with the win.

This is from the first day of the Prep Showcase, but here's a more descriptive write-up of Braswell's game (and tale of two halves) from the first day: www.draftexpress.com/article/National-Prep-Showcase:-Day-One/Chris Braswell, 6’8, Power Forward, Senior, Hargrave Military Academy, Committed to Georgetown 10 Points, 7 Rebounds, 1 assists, 0 turnovers, 1 Block, 1 steal, 3-8 FG, 4-5 FT Rodger Bohn It was the tale of two halves for Braswell, as he started out the game on the lethargic side only to finish the contest strong. In the first half, he was easily frustrated by his lack of touches in the post and it effected all other aspects of his game. The future Hoya did not defend, run the floor, rebound, and displayed a terrible demeanor throughout the half. He finished the first stanza with a mere 2 points and 2 rebounds, looking more like a low major division one player then one who is expected to come in and contribute immediately in the Big East. Different half, different story for Braswell. Hargrave came out and immediately got their star big man touches in the paint, which he converted on with a flurry of post moves. His soft touch was exhibited through a series of tip-ins and touch catches, a testament to the feathery paws he owns. Braswell was incredibly active, making his presence felt on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor, finishing the game with X points and X rebounds. Motivation is a key issue with Chris, evidenced by his inconsistent play over the years. When motivated, he is one of the better scoring big men on the prep level. When he is just going through the motions however, he appears to be quite an average prospect. John Thompson III and his staff have proven that they are able to get the most out of their big men, so don’t be surprised to see Braswell step in and contribute right away once he reaches campus at Georgetown. |

Not with attitude problems... he'll have to leave those at Hargrave. You area right PR. Here's an interesting thing. the last three years, we've had Roy, Jeff and Jon...and Tyler too. By all accounts, these four guys all work really hard. When your best players show that kind of work ethic and dedication, it makes it really difficult for other guys to have attitude. By all accounts, Greg Monroe sounds like the same type of kid. If he comes in with the Roy/Jeff/Jon attitude, we won't have a problem with anyone else. |

You can definately see the roy/jeff/jon/tyler attitude rubbing off on guys like jessie and dajuan. it also has to do with JT iii's demeanor. like the article in the hoya preview about jon and john said, JTIII and jon have such similar attitudes. this is one of the qualities that i like best about the program: no unnecessary/unearned flashiness; restrained, quite confidence all the way.

Draft Express has its Day 2 write up here: www.draftexpress.com/article/National-Prep-Showcase,-Day-Two/ "Although this probably wasn’t the best game he ever played today, Chris Braswell again did a nice job showing off fairly versatile skill set for a post player. Braswell got most of his points in the paint, where he showed his ability to go out and create his own offense thanks to his combination of quickness and solid footwork. He doesn’t have a problem making a living in the post, and did a great job getting his hands on a ton of balls around his area to nab his team quite a few extra possessions. He has outstanding hands and very nice touch around the hoop, and at one point even stepped out and drained a 17-foot jump-shot, further adding intrigue to his already impressive profile. Braswell played a lot harder almost the entire way through today, running the floor better, communicating with his teammates, calling out screens, and trying to take some charges even. You still get the impression from observing his body language that he’s a bit on the lazy side and probably not the smartest player in the world, but the coaching staff at Georgetown should be able to get quite a bit out of him at the collegiate level if he’s willing to be coached." ------------------------------ I have seen Braswell a couple of times now. He sees the floor very well for someone his size and is a very good passer IMO. I wouldn't worry about his attitude as much. He could have been reacting to any number of things -- teammates not sharing the ball, general frustration, etc. I have no doubt that he and JT3 will be able to "click." |

tinyurl.com/ysjq3oHelen Cox HS improved to 2-0 with a victory over Holy Cross HS, which was led by Arkansas commit Brandon Moore. Monroe had 20 points, 5 boards, and a pair of blocks. It looks like the Times-Picayune and NOLA blog will be our best sources of info on Monroe's games.

It probably won't get any press since it's a scrimmage, but Sims (Mt. St. Joseph's) is facing off against Clark (Bishop O'Connell) this Friday at 11:00 a.m. I checked last year and they scrimmaged each other then as well, but there wasn't a link off of Mt. St. Joe's website about the game. I'm expecting the same thing again this year. www.msjnet.edu/mtstjoseph.aspx?pgID=922 |
