Hooz, just want to clarify… you refer to Bliss as a point guard. Have seen the various outlets call him PG, CG, and SG in seemingly equal measure. Any feel for how our staff sees him positionally?
O called him a PG when I met them…

He’s being recruited as a PG. What little I’ve watched, I’d label him PG for sure. I think it’ll be interesting to see how he plays in AAU though. He’s so ball dominant in HS, will be different along with obviously better comp.

For HGN or @Hooandtrue, is Bliss’s league – Friends School League – any good? I recognize Friends Central for obvious reasons, but that’s about it. I mean, “he’s dominating the Quaker league” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue as a high level compliment. Lol! (which of course doesn’t mean he’s not awesome – just means what HGN already said – let’s watch some AAU)
(to be fair, Westtown, too – Lively’s school)
It’s about on par with the type of schedule STAB or Blue Ridge plays. They played a few big time schools too, Link Academy Blair Academy. Most games there’s a D1 player or 2 out there, sometimes a handful. Westtown most years is head and shoulders above the rest of the league.

The high school I went to growing up used to play Westtown every year when they were not anything special, so it’s kinda funny seeing them have this national power rep now.

Similar thing happened to my prep school. Went from having the best players in the league being Patriot League/Ivy/NESCAC types to most teams having multiple LM/MM/HM prospects on the rosters.

Abraham, Caleb Williams, and Stevenson definitely have a group chat egging each other on to visit again before committing elsewhere

Because of course he did. Why wouldn’t he visit a school he’ll never go to for the 8th time?

If I were these kids and loved basketball, I’d be eating up invites to see big games like a VIP.

Not blaming them, just not excited about it either

I assume when kids visit the guys on the team are mostly excited to meet them because maybe this will be a new teammate in a year or two, or perhaps someone to carry the banner after you’re gone.
But aren’t some of these kids on unofficial visit 5 or 6 (or more?) at this point. Do the players eventually just kinda say “You AGAIN? You’re here more than some season ticket holders.”

Some of that for sure but most unofficial interaction is with assistant coaches and not so much with players
I think Kendrick Warren lived part time in our lockerroom one year while he was in HS. Dude legit felt like part of the team ha
