Deverell looks like a player. He has a serious skills, but sometimes a kid with those skills never had to push himself to refine those skills. If both Deverell and Coach Miles recogonize those weaknesses, and is willing to work hard to refine the game, we will celebrate the results. I always look at the paths of two players...Strickland and Boone. Both had skills and talent. I always thought that Erick busted his a*# and refined his skills and it took him to the NBA. Jaron always seemed to underacheive or so it seemed. Let's hope that Deverell takes the path of Erick...

Red Rum, Miles actually talked about his honesty last night and how sometimes it almost comes off as harsh. He said something along the lines of when he talked to his team what did they want most from a coach. The players almost unanimously said they want a coach that is honest with them and pushes them to the limit. So I'm sure a lot of it is that Miles simply says it how he see's it and the players respect that. He doesn't beat around the bush with them. Now, he will make his sarcstic comments, but even those I think have a point to them. They come off as harsh, but then at the same time their is a lot of truth to them. I personally like a coach that tells it how it is.

Okay he is a 6-9 250 15 year old Freshman in High School. He will tend to be a bit slow and won't have the best ups. He more than likely is far from being physically mature. I know there are freaks of nature that are that big and can do it all at 15, Henry doesn't seem to be one of them. He is the third of three brothers that all seem to be over 6-9 and thinner than him.

Could be a good one to watch.

Most schools squeeze a practice in during the week. Totally not normal.

Poor Andre. He could lose the equivalent of an entire person and still outweigh Vucetic. Poor Sergej.

i concur with your fat guy opnion, as a large man myself it was extreamly frustrating playing football in high school at a certain weight comfortably with no problems and having the basketball coach or rugby coach ask a unrealistic weight for you to be at. I like andre and i just hope he stays healthy and he has a fun senior year. This is what this season will ultimately be about.
