Ooo...Thanks for reminding me. I'd read that on one of the articles posted here but completely forgot. Doesnt Myck also play in that tournament...or someone else we are involved with?

 

[SL Xpress]

Yes, Myck Kabongo plays for St. Benedicts, who is also in the tournament.

 

[linkdapimp]

anyone know when myck plays?

 

[TexanWolv]

If I remember correctly it is right after Bradley and Thompson.

 

[linkdapimp]

bracket thats the bracket that i found, but yeah they actually play at 3, so right before findlay

 

[TexanWolv]

Yeah, I checked my TV guide today and saw Myck was before them...Sorry about that. I bet Thompson would like to beat his old team in the finals.

That was certainly fun to watch.

It's the first time I've seen any kind of action from Kabongo. He is extremely long. It's also hard to imagine that he is a soph. (though he is 17). Based on today he certainly looks like a pass first PG. His FT shooting at the end made my day.

Tristan Thompson and Avery Bradley are just beasts. The play where Thompson led the fast break and fed it to Bradley for the jam almost made me wet myself in excitement.

It will be interesting to see Kabongo against Oak Hill....and it will be really interesting to see an Oak Hill vs Thompson and Bradley matchup considering both teams are undefeated this year.

Also...That Puerto Rican kid on Findlay Prep that is headed to UNLV was impressive today.

Kabongo is actually only 16, just like he should be. The 17 year old thing was just a temporary typo by Jerry Meyer.

 

[TexanWolv]

That's good news. I was a little shocked to hear them say he was 17.

 

[GoHornsGo90]

They said 17 on the telecast today also...

Bradley and Thompson are amazing--hard to imagine they're both coming here. If Bradley and Hamilton stay, it's hard to imagine that level of talent together (especially if you throw Bejarano and possibly Brown in there also).

If I watched Kabongo play without knowing who he was, I'd swear up and down he was Darren Collison. Same dribbling and shooting style, speed, quickness, and ability to hit free throws. Can't wait for him to get here!

Meh...I've seen past ESPN HS broascats where they didn't even say the kids name right or know where they were going to school. I'll trust Jerry Meyer over whoever ESPN has doing their telecasts.
