Recruiting Updates

[tee1222]

Gibbs drilled another big shot from deep. Playaz up 4 again. Both teams are on fire right now.

 

[tee1222]

6 point lead, Diagne with a hard foul but not cheap. Good job preventing an easy transition score. Especially good as Penny player missed both freebies.

 

[tee1222]

So much smaller when Diagne is not in there. Easy inside try for Penny. NJ with a 4 point lead. Briscoe just had his 10th rebound, inside offensive glass. Impressed. He is not as his listed height of 6'3. Looks shorter in my opinion, but he is a tough physical presence as a guard.

 

[Francis03]

Now 70-67 Playaz. Briscoe, Gibbs, and Diagne have been coming up with big buckets and plays in this half.

Penny with a great comeback right now. Might miss some of the end.

 

[Francis03]

75-73 Playaz. KeVaughn Allen, who is heading to Florida is going bonkers for Team Penny right now. Briscoe, Gibbs, Duval, and Diagne are going to have to step up in the clutch to win this one.

double double for Diange. Will be nice to have a big man with footwork and soft hands. Has some nice inside moves.

Is Diagne gimpy or does he always have that gait?

 

[Francis03]

Game tied at 75 and my boy Duval hits Diagne with a sweet pass for a flush to go up 2.

Don't know of any injury but this is his 2nd game of the day so it could be fatigue? They have been playing 2 games a day since Thursday.

 

[tee1222]

Diagne with a tip in to give them the lead, and a block on the other end. But Penny cleaned up to tie again.

 

[tee1222]

He's playing right now so probably nothing too serious.

 

[Francis03]

Now tied at 81. Lawson brothers are good. No wonder Pastner gave their old man a job.

 

[tee1222]

Penny took the lead. Diagne good help on the right side but left the weak side open for an easy offensive rebound put back. Briscoe, and one on the other end to get back the lead at the line. Misses, still tied.

 

[tee1222]

Team Penny with the ball, 18 seconds left.

 

[Francis03]

Down by 2 Briscoe gets the score and foul but misses the FT. Tied at 83.

 

[tee1222]

Wow, technical foul on Team Penny. NJ had the ball. They go to the line tied and for the win. Bad decision by Penny player.

 

[tee1222]

Briscoe hits both technicals. NJ up two and have the ball after timeout. Less than 4 seconds left so if no immediate steal, pretty much over.

 

[tee1222]

Playaz and Diagne win! Mini moose had at least 16, 14 and a couple of blocks.

 

[Francis03]

Wow did the refs really make a tech foul call off a rebound with 3 secs left smh. I thought Joey Crawford and Jim Burr didn't do AAU games.

If anything they should've just called a double foul and let the players decide the game.

Diagne's stat line was more ridiculous than I had thought. 16pts, 14rbs, and 6blks. So who wanna take the over/under on how many spots he'll drop in the rankings? I'll say under 15 lol.

 

[AZOrange]

Was it that jeff goodman that said az's class has a chance to rival kentuckys? No mention of cuse in there

Ol Jerry is probably debating whether he is even D-1 material at this point

Goodman is probably just basing that off rankings. Even though it doesn't matter at the end of the day, we probably won't have a consensus top 25 player coming in unless we get Bryant or Jones. For whatever reason Malachi, who was our top dog in the rankings has seen his numbers in the rankings dip to a point where he's on the outside looking in at the top 25. Zona already have a pair of top 25 guys committed and are strong favorites for Ivan Rabb, Allonzo Trier, and Briscoe. All three ranked in the top 20. If Zona can land those guys then it could definitely rival UK's class of last year. Sean Miller still has to prove that he can do something with all of the talent he's been getting. Elite 8 trips aren't going to cut it over the next few years.
