Boylen's recruiting prowess

I wish he could get a top 5 recruit out of the Seattle area.
There are some crazy good HS hoopsters in the region right now.
I saw Josh Smith play the other night. He is a beast and the top rated kid in the nation for '10 (Seattle will produce the nation's top FB and BB recruit in 10)

I wish BYU could get PG County recruit. Anybody see the article in SI a few weeks ago about the recruits coming out of there?
I worked with a kid who grew up with a bunch of those guys. He actually played ball at Appalachian State. This kid was nasty too. Crazy handles and he'd tell me all kinds of stories about balling it up with playground legends and he's played with them all. Of all the guys he's played with and against he said the best was Stephon Marbury which surprised me. He said if you were on Starbury's team you had better keep your eyes open and hands up because he would throw lazer passes that nobody saw coming."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

Here is a NYT article on Seattle HS hoops
The growth of basketball here reached new heights in recent years. In back-to-back summers, the two main A.A.U. teams — Rotary Select and Friends of Hoop — put together college level teams that featured a combined five N.B.A. and seven Division I college players.Crawford also put together a team — himself, Roy, Robinson and Hawes — that went to the championship street ball game in 2006 at Rucker Park in Harlem. Afterward, all anyone asked about was Seattle basketball.

SU is right; the Sound is really not a very big metro area. And the population centers within it that generate most of the D1 and NBA talent are very small. Most of the talent is in the Metro League - at 'Beach, Franklin, Seattle Prep or O'Dea.
Bellevue is also very good this season with the sons of a few former pro athletes on their squad. They just blew through a California tourney over the holidays.
It's funny, with no Sonics in town (how's that working out for you OKC?) I'm paying a lot of attention to local NCAA and HS hoops. I'm even trying to get out to games. Hey, at least they're much cheaper to attend.Last edited by 8BR; 01-14-2009, 12:40 AM.

Now he's just gotta coach 'em up."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Still got feel for Boylen, he comes to Utah as a crazy time when Utah County is supplying athletic kids like Haws, Emery, the Collinsworths and Davies. Seriously, like what are the odds of that?
