I have no clue if Syracuse is involved or not, but I have to figure St. John's has an edge since God'sgift played there.
Not necessarily. Might want to carve his own path.

Following up, and iommi - OnDemand will hook you up with the replay of this game, couple of Summit games, Chatham and St Ants. More to come after they air new ones.
St Benedict's Prep - Bergen Catholic
Q1
Sidibe wins the tip.
Starts off with a deep jumper just inside the three point line and swishes home.
Had an offensive rebound tip try miss.
Missed next jumper bad. Again, a deep-range try. He has a weird delivery. Not pretty. But I've seen full games before. He has a unique athleticism and feel for being in the right spot at the right time. Different player than Diagne, but similarly has great instincts for the game. Confident enough to hit this shot, but won't be taking it anytime soon freshman year in my opinion.
Again, crashes the offensive glass, gets position enough to box defender out, grabs it and 2 handed slams with a quick step inside. Good tomahawk looking flush, for the big man power dunk enthusiasts out there.
VERY ACTIVE. Both Bennies bigs are now. 4-0 all courtesy of our guy.
Another putback cleaning up the glass. 9-0, Bourama scored first 6 points and St Ben's guard (probably Farrakhan? I miss some of these plays but still listening, miss the names from time to time). To compound, this is second hand from my 8 pages of handwritten slop a few weeks ago.
Timeout. Bergen Catholic. Talk it over.
(more Q1 to follow)
On the enterpriseAt Syracuse or Tatooine?
What's the story with Sidibe? He gave SU a verbal but did he ever sign the LOI? IS he still Orange?
He beat Duarte's team. Duarte finished with 22/12.Bourama continues to flourish. 24 points today.
I interviewed his coach for a Bourama update story I will post soon. We got a good one, folks.

After reading that, I tried to think of the last time I read an article, and said, "man I really liked reading that". That was a really good read and very well written. Keep up the good work Vince.Here's my Sidibe update after interviewing his coach at St. Benedict's:

Also, loved hearing the positives about Sidibe, especially how he does against top flight competition, that has me excited for this kid. I have confidence the staff has something brewing behind the scenes as far as a guard is concerned. Just a hunch.
Great report! That cat might be a better rebounder already than anybody on our team. He can't get here soon enough!
Good stuff my man. I think both Sidibe and OB will be ready to contribute next season quicker than what most are expecting.Here's my Sidibe update after interviewing his coach at St. Benedict's:

Yep. First time I ever saw him play last season, he outplayed Mo Bamba, who is an obvious future lotto pick. Seems like he gave Billy Preston a tough time according to Coach Taylor.Glad you agree. Sidibe has won titles every year he's been at SBP. It'll help him a lot that he's played against great teams and top bigs.
