I watch a high school basketball game like every 3 years, jesus that shit needs a shot clock. it's fucking brutal.
All high school sports are awful to watch
Game was entertaining, despite the very biased and unfair officials, during the 27 minutes that the teams played basketball

I also don't understand the trend of high school players going back to short (er) shorts. Look more like running shorts than basketball shorts and my mind can't quite adjust to accept.

It was just a matter of time before the guys got tired of wearing culottes.

Oh, he might come to Iowa (if Iowa and Iowa State are his only 2 choices).

Sounds like a Wisconsin PG is coming down and playing with the 2019 Barnstormers this year. Hauser must be enjoying himself.

can someone translate?
Really? This is his easiest one to translate.

He is saying that a point guard from Wisconsin (high schooler) is going to play with the 2019 Barnstormers AAU program that McCaffery's/Wieskamp play for. Joey Hauser (Top 50 recruit) is from Wisconsin and also plays for them. He must be spreading the word about the program and enjoying himself if other kids from Wisconsin want to play for them.

His name is Gage. Gage Malensek. 1st team all state as a sophomore. I was scared to use his name. Also, LATFG.

Also I wonder where it leaves Hilmer.

It sounds like Jackson molstead isn't playing with their team this year either. Sounds like they are upping the talent level.

He looks so damn awkward. But imagining him with some more meat on his bones ;) has me excited.

Patrick McCaffery


Recruitment: Iowa (where his father Fran McCaffery coaches) has offered.

His day: McCaffery is thin, but he is also quite fluid, can shoot with range and is an excellent all around athlete. He has the tools to play inside or out and looks like he could be in line for a bump in the rankings.

Quotable: "No, nobody else is even trying (to recruit me)."

Prediction: This one is all Iowa unless McCaffery leaves for a different coaching job.

Patrick somewhat resembles Michael Dunleavy in his short time at Duke.

Dunleavy was a way, way better shooter at the same age. Patrick's shot needs a lot of work. Hopefully it comes around if he gets bigger. Joes did, but Patrick is already 17.

Why would this kid need a lot of work on his shot? Isn't his dad a coach somewhere?

Have you seen it?
Nope....but if he has bad mechanics that's a coaching/player issue. If dad is too busy maybe mom could make some improvements to his shot.

i cannot exaggerate how skinny Patrick is. It's a strength issue.
I'm sure he needs to get stronger but strength or lack thereof, shouldn't be an excuse for poor mechanics. It's a practice/repetition issue. I'm sure he will get better at it in the next couple of years.

Or he could end up like that jackass from Northwestern with the ugliest shot ever but never seemed to miss. I don't remember that jackass's name.

Shurna. The first time I saw him I thought he was a mentally handicapped kid they were letting warm up with the team.

Then and now:





I can't find any pictures showing how fucked up his jumper was. Still have nightmares about it, though.

You know you're one hell of a LATFG when both Wisconsin and Iowa think you don't pass the look test.
