Get off my lawn... but I despise the reactions of fans when big dunks occur in high school hoops. Carry on.

Cant wait to watch Nick at State though.

He finished with 29 points on 10/23 from the field and 3/8 from deep.

Don't know how the minutes will work out next year, but I'm extremely excited.

I am just

stating what I'd like, but nick at 1 with Lamar and Q at 2/3 would be ridiculous. They'd have open shots for days.

Cmon man...****, I yelled when I watched the clip from my busted up phone. The big house is fun when it's rocking.

That's what I'm thinking, but then what do you do with kegler, Holman, ado and herard?

It's a good problem to have no doubt, but gonna have to managed properly, which I have no doubt howland can do. Gonna be great depth.

I wouldnt be surprised

if Kegler pulls a Malik and isn't here next season. If Ado is as talented as they say, I would imagine him and Holman start with Herard, Datcher, and the freshmans off the bench. We certainly have the most (quality) depth than we've had in a long time.

I certainly have no clue what's best, but it's so much easier to play the two you'd think the freshman would typically play the two if they're both true point guards.

If you had seen that play in person you wouldn't have reacted? That was awesome.

Its not "a reaction" that bothers me. I would've stood and applauded and celebrated. I would not have done a hopping 360.

It was a fantastic play. I even said wow when I saw it.

I love the reaction. That stuff is fun to watch.

I especially like the "Nostradamus" in the video that says "Aw Lawd" a split second before it happens because he sees it coming.

I have been pleased so far this season how Howland has managed personnel. I think he can handle a 10-deep rotation just fine.

That move deserved a 360 spin. Amazing air time and kudos offered by this guy with an equally incredible 3.6 inch ground clearance jump shot.

Except the last time I tried it, I pulled something.

Lamar gets Ready's minutes and Spoon gets Lamar's minutes.... seems pretty simple to me since we currently have 2 pgs getting a ton of minutes. Should be a big upgrade at that spot next year.

This isn't a knock

on Lamar in any way, but Nick is just as quick and way more explosive. I think Nick has a higher ceiling, too.

Again, I think Peters is awesome, but Nick is on just another level.

I cannot fathom how he wasn't selected for the McD's AA game. If there's a more explosive PG in high school, currently, I'd like to see it.

Nick Spoon = A bigger Deville Smith with a much better jump shot and none of the baggage.

ETA: He also is as good of an on-ball point guard defender as you will find coming out of high school. Nick Spoon loves playing defense as much as he loves playing offense.

I think the team will miss Ready at times. Peters is an upgrade and Spoon will be too, but Ready has been valuable in spots where teams apply pressure on us. That senior point guard who can handle the ball and settle things down is something we shouldn't take for granted.

The bigger hope is that Peters can reach that level of maturity next year. If so, yes, it will be a big upgrade for us.

Teaspoon: What is your name?
Cody: Cody. William F. Cody. "Billy" if you'd like.
Teaspoon: I don't like.
