Thats a pretty good summary. I will add the special kids in Houston get pampered too much. They don’t get put through the fire playing the best in the city and the coaches don’t correct them in fear of them leaving for another team/school. There are a few HS coaches (Atastocita, Shadow Creek,etc) that demand the players play the right way but for the most part the coaching isn’t good enough. The best players in Dallas are always playing against each other and the coaching is a lot better.
Yes we can and very possibly will if the best players are not in Houston, so it should read that we don’t have to pick the best from Houston. Saying that, we are in a very good position to get who we want from this area.
Dynamic Preparatory High School, in Irving, TX, where Marcus Spears, Jr. attends, appears to be similar to IMG and Montverde Academy in Florida. I know these athletic preparatory schools are not well liked in Texas by coaches and UIL, but is there a similar preparatory school in Houston that is non-denominational?
Great Finisher, and Great 3pt stroke, Great driver too (Rob Gray Esque) (It’s rare to see a guard with all 3 skills, pesky defender :). I definitely see why we offered him, definitely under the radar right now.
Would love to see him commit here.
He is who the coaching staff probably wanted Kordel Jefferson to become, Kordel is mainly a defender and not a scorer like Oneal.
