Big win by Cape. Cape and Branch are living up to the hype and ND is down and Tolbert is way overrated.

Cape by 10+....if Cape's bigs can finish in the paint, which they were unable to do aganst PB.
-- Posted by SemoBallFan5 on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 11:01 AM
I find it funny how last year people were hyping Tolbert up but this year they say he's overrated. He's a very good high school basketball player that is going to be playing in college next year. End of story, get over yourselves.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 11:29 AM
He was very good last year when he didn't have to do everything by himself, he was spoiled with good teamates, now when he's having to do pretty much all the work himself the pressures getting to him and you can really tell
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 11:41 AM
I think that Notre Dame is better than the score of the Jackson game indicates, I don't think Tolbert was back to 100% from his sickness but I do think he has been a huge bust in the area this season after the way he was able to play last season. I think Cape has the horses to take this game easily.
-- Posted by sideline starter on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 12:44 PM
I wouldn't say Tolbert is overrated, I'd just say it's hard to carry a team on your back when you're the only returning starter. With that being said, I do think he hasn't lived up to the expectations everyone has given him, ND basketball has be slowly declining since Willen and those guys left, then again those guys don't come around that often. Anyways my prediction, hard to say since I'm an ND fan but I say Cape by 10+
-- Posted by reynolds on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 12:49 PM
gadget that's what i've been saying all along. if he was on a team with decent post player to support him he would be doing a lot better. They expect him to grab all the rebounds, play a strong post position, and still step out and take jumpers. Kind of like Lebron at Cleveland, the only difference is that Lebron is talented enough to do that.
sideline, ND didn't have Meystedt, did they?
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 12:50 PM
I dont think Tolbert is "over-rated". I know he's a better player than he's showed this year. I know he's 1 of the top 3 players around but I'm also basing this off his potential. I fully agree with inspector and everybody, he's got waay too much pressure on him and he takes bad shots. But another question that you have to think about...is a bad shot for him better than a good or decent shot for the other players on his team? I think he's halfheartedly playing this year bc he doesn't wanna play a post. He's become way too much of a jumpshooter considering most of the people that guard him can't atop him from going by them, but no one knows that bc he doesn't even try...I think he's a player that will do better in college IF he gets there. Scoring 10 points and foulingbout isn't gonna get him there. I think he's like Otto but on a smaller scale. I've read from recruiting specialists that Otto is the best player that nobody knows about bc he's 1A. I think Jake has the athleticism and skill set to be very very good in college but he's not doing good right now bc he has no one around him consistently. And no, Meystedt wasn't at the Jackson game last night. But he wouldn't have made that big of a difference. Idt the score tells the story of the gme. It looked so much worse than the score tells
-- Posted by Fast Don't Lie on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 1:01 PM
BOTTOM LINE, TOLBERT IS HIGHLY OVER RATED AND SHOULDED EVEN BE COMPARED TO OTTO PORTER BECAUSE OTTO IS MILES AHEAD OF HIM WHEN IT COMES TO BASKETBALL. IF TOLBERT CANT BE AFFECTIVE ON THIS LEVEL HE WONT STAND A CHANCE AT A SMALL JUCO!
-- Posted by Basketballbj on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 1:31 PM
Thanks for answering that for me Fast Don't Lie. I didn't look back at this for a bit. However, I hope your comment on Tolbert only playing half-heartedly is untrue. A true competitor is going to play his heart out whether he is at the position he wants to play or not. And every time I see him play, he seems to be in the zone to start the game. There is nobody who I have seen before and in those first parts of a basketball game who looks to be more focused on just straight up destroying their opponent than Tolbert. However, I think he relies too much on getting calls to go his way even when they shouldn't which gets him into foul trouble. He almost expects to get the superstar treatment, and when he did last year, they won (SCC and first Sikeston game last year). However, if they didn't call every call that he wanted, he would get frustrated and start making poor decisions (Sikeston at districts and I'm sure a couple of the games they have lost this year). The kid needs to loosen up a bit in my opinion, but my opinion is all it is.

Guys, Notre Dame is completely different than it was in '07, '08, and '09. Even last year they still had a little bit of it left but the life of the program has died. It's just flat not there. This team is a .500 team at the end of the year. They will keep working hard but the studs have all came and gone out of that program for now. Tolbert being the last remaining one. It's a shame he wasn't just two or three years older. That would have been special.
-- Posted by Bulldog_Pride on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 2:23 PM
^No he isn't. I Hear there are a few studs in St. Louis that ND could bring in, maybe a kid from over seas somewhere could help.
-- Posted by Shadow-the-hedgehog on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 3:45 PM
to the idiot who thinks typing in all caps is cool and gets a point across. He averages around 20 points a game, can play down low, and step out and take jump shots, so ya i guess you could say he doesn't excell at this level. Ironically i was just talking to his parents at walmart about 30 minutes ago and they said that even last night he was no where near healthy yet, he was running out of breath in half the time of what he normally would've.
jwall please enlighten us if you think they have a player that will dominant in the next few years.

This is the Tolbert Report. While he is a very good player I would have to agree that he is over rated, not by Cape, or Sikeston or anyone else but ND. ND thought he was going to carry them to the District Title, and now it looks as if they are going to get beat in the first round by dexter. Like I said he is a good player and everybody knows that he doesn't dominate the game like Otto, or Michael porter did. His 20 is quiet. Yes he can play down low and shoot the three ball, but he doesn't shoot it well enough to play outside most of a game. Also the thing that hurts them is that he doesn't demand the ball. What I mean by that is that is not that he should ball hog but that he needs to work harder to get the ball in the post. If he isn't getting the ball enough down low the ND coach needs to get a Time out and tell his guards to get him the ball because he is obviously is the best player on the team

-- Posted by Shadow-the-hedgehog on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 5:30 PM
Sonic, I completely agree that he needs to demand the ball more, but if you watch him, (the most obvious time was in the loss to Dexter) when the ball goes to one side of the floor, he stops posting up and he goes to the other side of the floor. That's what I was talking about earlier sideline starter. I don't question his competitiveness, I know he has heart and I know he's competitive but he takes possessions off. And a lot of the is the coaches fault. People need breaks and ND can't afford any of the 5 ppl on the floor to take a break. ND can score without Tolbert. They've had to learn to with him being in foul trouble the last few games. Give a break for a minute or 2 and put him back in. He's had way to much pressure put on him for a 17/18 year old kid. But believe it or he had the same "do it all" pressure on him last year but when he couldn't do it all he had other players that could step up and take over the game for a minute or two. Thats not the case this year
-- Posted by Fast Don't Lie on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 5:35 PM

I agree sonic, he needs to be in a little bit better shape in my opinion but that's not the point. He's not and there's nothing I can do about his conditioning. It is what it is and if he needs a break he needs a break
-- Posted by Fast Don't Lie on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 5:48 PM
Post players need more breaks than any other position because of the beating they take trying to get someone to pass to them or from rebounding.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Sat, Jan 29, 2011, at 6:00 PM

The games between Notre Dame and Central at the Show Me Center use to be exciting, back when Wilks, Kimball, and Willen were here. But basketball as a whole is so down in Southeast Missouri right now. To put it into perspective, SCC '09 team with Dez Williams, Bobby Hachett, Drew Thomas, Otter Potter, and Randy Timmons would beat this year's SCC team by a considerable margin. So would Sikeston's '08 and '09 team's. With the likes of Michael Porter, Brandon Washington, Matt Rich, and Julian Beard, they would easily beat this year's Sikeston team. It's BAD basketball right now in SEMO.

Every year seems to be not as good, but you can't really judge that..
This years sikeston team shoots a lot better, is a lot faster, and has way more depth.. Not saying they'd win but you can't just say they'd lose badly...

IMO Jackson and Cape are up from last year but will fall next year, Jackson more so than Cape.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Sun, Jan 30, 2011, at 9:27 PM
I didn't get to see cape play but a half last year so i didn't want to through that out there..
But in general every year a few teams drop off and a few teams rise up, its the cycle.. And every once in a while the field will be stacked, last year was pretty even through out.. But if you took this years best three teams against last years best three.. Then this years would probably win all three, Excluding SCC (SCC playing SCC wouldn't make sense)
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Sun, Jan 30, 2011, at 9:31 PM
Last year's Cape team would lose for sure along with SCC this year but I would like to see the Sikeston game. Wiggens and Eli would make a difference IMO, they are both rebounding machines.

-- Posted by .neverever. on Sun, Jan 30, 2011, at 10:04 PM
gadget I'm not seeing your logic on this one. Let's say that Cape is better this year than last year is a truth, alright? We split with ND last year and i if i remember right if you add the scores of both games we were up by 1. We beat you guys last year but it was on our homecoming and we played very well. I won't even talk about SCC because they detroyed us in the championship game of the christmas tourney. So in theory ND last year would lose to Cape this year, Sikeston last year and Cape this year wouldbe a good game but we have gained far more than we lost to graduation so we should win that. And SCC would still win.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Sun, Jan 30, 2011, at 10:04 PM
But like you said "teams match up differently" ND last year had a good team, with branch you havent beat a team with a good big man.. Tolbert was better last year due to lack of pressure..
It may seem like your better this year then last year, but what quality wins, against GOOD teams THIS year do you have?
I know, you know, and we all know Cape beat sikeston the 1 out of 10 times they would play, and it happened after an emotional game with SCC..
I'll stick to my picks
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Sun, Jan 30, 2011, at 10:10 PM
We have the same team as last year minus Casasola plus Branch and Tisdell. I'd say our additions outweigh losing Kevin. He led us last year but also had some games where he hurt us badly. Lane was a junior last year trying to do what Tolbert has to do this year except lane excelled, I won't say that James is better because he isn't but he excelled more in the same situation. Let's say that Branch makes a 10 point differential over Casasola and Tisdell obvisouly makes a big difference, he is what helped us stay so close to Sikeston this year before he got in foul trouble. Like I said, we played amazing against Sikeston last year in front of a packed crowd that was about 1/3 Sikeston fans. I think that this year's Cape team is good enough to beat last year's Sikeston team without playing perfect. You say Sikeston is better this year, which i agree with, last year's team was stronger but not nearly as quick or in as good of shape. In a little over a week if Sikeston wins people will say the better team won, if Cape wins it will be called an upset rightfully so since Cape is unranked and Sikeston is 1st even with the class difference.

Sikeston by plenty. They'll wear them out quick. But the tall red headed kid from Bluff should be a good one to watch. He's pretty skilled. They're sophomore point gaurd will be very good but just not quite there yet.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Sun, Jan 30, 2011, at 10:32 PM
Tolbert is having a less than stellar year but for many reasons. He is still a very very good player. I would be happy to have him on my team as I believe most of you would. Agree though, he is no Otto.
Cape is a very strong team now, ND is not. Cape will win this one, probably by somewhere between 9-16 points.
ND, despite being down alot this year, just isn't all that prone to blowouts, except of course the SCC game where they played without their star.
Doesn't ND play Bernie later this season still? Hmmmm, interesting matchup! I'll take Bernie in a squeaker in that one.
-- Posted by GreatFun on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 8:10 AM
Central will win no doubt about it. But tolbert is not the only player for notre dame. Lets give Meystedt some credit. He has out scored tolbert in a few games this year. Also notre dames coach is not the smartest person. I heard him telling the team to only let tolbert shoot earlier this year when they played sikeston. Central will be the winner but give some credit to Nate
-- Posted by JungleJunior30 on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 8:42 AM

Make a thread then GreatFun though I would wait to see how tonight's game with Cape goes for ND first. For the way ND has been playing this season, I can see them dropping a game to Bernie though the Mules have been fading a bit lately. I don't think they would pull it out in the end.

Cape wins. both teams played well, and ND moved the ball around VERY effectively which led to many open shots from he perimeter. Cape just had the big man presence that ND is lacking this year. Both teams rebounded well at times, and poorly at other times. Tolbert played well I think, but being his teams only eral bigman, it's gotta b tough for him, in his game and his morale. I dislike ND with a passion, but I have to give Tolbert props.........

ND plays at Bernie Friday night 2/4...
-- Posted by RedShirt on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 9:43 PM
I just watched the Central/ND game also. Tale of two halves.
ND was effective in first half, making Central's offense very ineffective. Jordan Reddin did a nice job guarding Branch who was kept quiet in first half. Central couldn't really get their offense going in first half, but neither could ND for that matter. Thus, the 30-28 ND lead at half.
As for second half, Curtis Branch began to drive a bit more and was able to penetrate a little and hit a few shots. Tisdale had a big second half, picking up some easy shots right under the basket. ND somehow seemed to forget about him underneath and he capitalized.
ND's offense was very patient, but to their detriment late. They were working the perimeter passing even when they were down by 13 late. They were waiting for the perfect shot that really never opened up. They almost looked like they were playing a stall game while being down by double digits. It was sort of strange. They were able to hit some three pointers in the second half so that aspect of their game was present. Tolbert played outside alot and hit some three pointers, but with that, they didn't have a rebounding presence inside, so Central had the rebounding edge too.
Overall, my impressions were that ND needs some more playmakers but otherwise has a fundamentally sound team. Branch has a nice crossover dribble but in the first half didn't try to penetrate and drive. This was partially due to good defense though. Tisdale had a very nice game for Central, and the better team won.
Central will have to play a flawless game and have some gameplan that I didn't see tonite to play with Sikeston. I don't see it.

read my synopsis on the forum about games tonight.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 9:51 PM
Here's my view of the game, i hate both equally so not being biased here..
In that first half ND made a lot of shots, they held curtis to like 1-4 behind the arc and he had like 5 points, they caused a good amount of turnovers and cape looked like they were going to lose, they missed a couple lay ups, and a ton of shots..
In the second half ND came out hot again, but then went cold, they might have had like 6 offensive rebounds the whole game, and like 10 rebounds total(im exagerating) they drove it like 5 times the entire game too, cape closed up the inside, and there were a few missed calls on both sides.. ND just let lane and tisdale right under the basket for easy points..
Tolbert is ND's best and worst player.. Individually wise he is good, he took a lot of shots which may or may not have hurt them, he was getting frustrated because of the refs and you could tell, he shoulda drove in a little more and maybe picked up a few calls..
But in all honesty i just don't see either one of these teams beating Sikeston
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 9:55 PM
Me neither. Between the two Cape should play Sikeston closer but I don't see them beating Sikeston.
It thought the refs tonite were just fine. Pretty clean game from what I could tell.
ND just needs a/some playmakers. Jacob Tolbert played the perimeter alot and only shot it out there if he was open, but he didn't drive and slash. I suppose that's not his game, but if it is not, it's a long night if you are just waiting for open shots. You have got to create something!
-- Posted by GreatFun on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 9:59 PM
I didn't say they were terrible, but there were a few calls, but thats high school..
I think he thought he got fouled a couple times when he drove in so he decided not to anymore..
I also noticed how only 7 players played for cape tonight
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:02 PM

I didn't see much wrong with the refs they were trying to let them play a little more physical which I think was to both teams advantage because ND hand checks, always have, and Cape plays more physical down low.

ND also did not play many players tonight,if Roberts would play Landawee instead of Reddin, Ithink thier offense would be much better.Reddin plays some good D but brings nothing to the table on offense.Roberts tried to play too many players against us on Fri and it cost him. They'er having a tought time right now but I still think they have some talent.

Inspector, REALLY? Read the name of this thread. So why make ANOTHER one of your sikeston comments? C'mon man, you're infecting every thread on SEMOBALL.

Tiger pride really showed itself tonight. Jungle was massive...
-- Posted by V,B on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:30 PM
haha and still made the huge "Dawg Pound" shut their mouth. hahaha ohh man. Joe Siebert especially, its obvious he is still sore about the whole costing ND the game back in the tourney.... the "small" Jungle got in his head BIGTIME when he fouled Andrew, and Andrew made his freethrows. Dejavu? Just single people spouted off and Joe got blood red. Haha, Joe is a good kid though, I have known him since 1st grade. Good guy.

Come at bro!!!

wow..
i meant come at me bro!!!
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:37 PM
hahaha, too funny. Typos for the win!
-- Posted by Sanitary South on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:38 PM
i was wondering who that was, i recognized freed because he was wearing a SCC jacket. Actually you guys were sitting a row or so above me and why would i come sit with you guys and risk my identity being found out. if we beat you guys on the 11th I'll risk being attacked by going on your side and finding you guys. gadget what weight are you supposed to wrestle cause you were looking a little tubby tonight, bum knee got you down in the dumps?
V,B I completely agree, but in all honesty if you take away ND's students there weren't many fans there for either team. One thing the jungle is always proud of though is that we are always loud no matter the numbers.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:38 PM
Ugh gadget he checkin you.

We're all friends here. just got something to argue about.
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:44 PM
Semo is def comin at you gadget.... This is gonna be good.
-- Posted by Sanitary South on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:44 PM
I'm not talking about you or gadget attacking, I'd just chop him in the knee cause I've been through that before myself, hated people thinking it was funny to lightly kick my hurt knee. I'm more worried about how crazy that might get if you guys would happen to lose on your homecoming and I would be walking across the court wearing orange.
he should know I'm just messing around cause i have been all night, I just thought he was like a 125 wrestler.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:48 PM
I dont even go to highschool. Gadget does.
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:51 PM
Yah SemoSports, they really need to move the game back to the home gyms. Especially when the game is played during the week the ShowMe Center hasn't been anywhere close to full. I don't think there has been a crowd in the last 5 years that couldn't have fit in ND or Centrals gym. I obviously would rather have it at ND every other year so I can use my sports pass and don't have to pay $2.50 for a < 20oz. soda. Bottom line is Sikeston (more so at home) is the best student section in the area with ND in second. I honestly felt bad for Central having maybe 3 rows of fans. But obviously none of that mattered when it comes to the game and central just kicked Notre dames butts.
-- Posted by V,B on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:52 PM
wow didn't know that, what year did you graduate? I know gadget goes to sikeston cause he's in my grade.
It's easy enough to sneak into Cape's gym that you don't have to pay and I just wear a hoodie so I can bring a bottle of something in. Just have to know your way around things. central used to have the biggest student section in the area but starting back when this year's class were freshmen our jungle has just started getting smaller and smaller along with our overall school enrollment.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:58 PM
i graduated last year.
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 10:59 PM
Actually i was 140, and i know who you are now, i seen your phone pulled up on semoball, i like the peach fuzz, for a senior its pretty lame, and i was going 152 this year, im only 172 right now.. Its hard to do anything when you can't run, i was 172 before the season started and i got down to 158, in a week.. So once i get healed back up it won't be hard to cut..
And ill make sure you don't make it across the street.. like my boy yellawolf said, we'll pop the trunk on you cuh
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:03 PM
disregaurd the senior statement

LMAO
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:06 PM
Me and dekarington are comin for you bruh
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:07 PM
I'm kidding about putting the hit out, before all the old people go nuts...
bet i could still beat you at anything
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:10 PM
I sat so close to you on purpose, i saw you from my original seat and moved over there and I was kind of making it a point to tilt my phone towards you to see if you'd notice. alright i just won't shave til the 11th and then you can call it peach fuzz. i was digging the polo hat though. I know how you feel with the knee injury, i've went through it with both of mine already, I'm just giving you trouble.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:10 PM
bet i take you in basketball, baseball, or hockey.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:11 PM
wiffleball.

i was just about to say we need to get this wiffleball game going.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:19 PM
SemoSports, how did you know it was us?
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:19 PM
i knew what gadget looked like already because a kid from school who knows him from wrestling showed me his facebook profile and then somebody in the jungle tonight said that you were supposed to be with him tonight. i confirmed that it really was gadget when i could see the imprint of his knee brace through his sweats and he was limping.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:23 PM
now i just need to figure out who CL and sideline are.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:27 PM
whats capes upcoming games?
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:28 PM
CL is obvious. idk sideline.
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:28 PM
Had a chance to call both games this evening.
Girls synopsis - ND's back court of Bohnert and Bradshaw (SEMO recruit) was key to second-half pull away, not to mention an inexperienced Central backcourt. There were 11 turnovers between Bailey Krachtovil and Allie Hardesty.
Boys synopsis - Tale of two halves? Hardly. ND had a good 1st quarter. Central won the last three. Down 20-7, last 11 pts of the second quarter scored by Central. Then the Tigers outscore ND 40-28 in the second half. Branch starts driving the lane and changes the complexion of the game. THAT'S why James Lane scored 21 pts. When you don't have to bring the ball up, you can do much more damage.
-- Posted by vincebrown on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:30 PM
Perryville, Festus, Jackson, and a make up Kelly game before Sikeston. We should win all of them, don't know anything about Festus but we need some avenge a loss to Jackson.
How is CL obvious, I don't know all these Sikeston people. what about rocket?
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:33 PM
its not obvious but once(if) you find out youll laugh. Rocketsbro is another sikeston fan. Older than us. Do you remember HOOPSIDIDITAGAIN?
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:35 PM
i think somebody said before that finding out who CL is will make you laugh. rocketsbro is older but what about rocket haha. i barely remember hoops, just the name is ringing a bell.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:39 PM
not sure. Sonic is goes to SHS too.
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Mon, Jan 31, 2011, at 11:40 PM
All discussion about people's real, true identities needs to stop please. Bashing internet anonymity is fine if someone wants to, but so long as we grant it here I'll protect it.

Crader
Glad you cut in. I thought I was looking at someone's text messages or their face book page.I think they should get the other peoples number so they can text each other & we wouldn't have to read all this crap. Even when they are on topic nothing being said.
-- Posted by oak ridge fan on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 7:37 AM
Oak ridge, and your valuable input is what exactly on this topic? Not trying to be an *** because rachel is right and im sorry for getting so far off topic but she was the only one who had need to say something.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 9:39 AM
Semo, yeah, that definitely just made you look like one.... just because the mod had to get onto you doesn't mean direct your anger towards other viewers, chill man.
-- Posted by Sanitary South on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 11:36 AM
I don't care if you know who I am. I only keep my identity secret for the sake of another that posts to this site. :-)
-- Posted by rocketsbro on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 12:48 PM
Rocket here....
Thanks for coming to our rescue, Rachel. However, I can handle myself with these young whipper snappers!!!!
-- Posted by Rocket689 on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 1:02 PM
Hahaha you gonna make the trip to Poplar Bluff Friday?
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 1:04 PM
I am amazed at how down in talent ND has become, and by the looks of their JV and 9th grade teams it ain't gonna get much better. However, this should not be too surprising since even colleges go thru down recruiting cycles.
-- Posted by cirithungol17 on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 2:49 PM
Yes ND should recruit in the Ghetto more....instead of recruiting on the Parochial trail... ;)
-- Posted by RedShirt on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 2:52 PM
Nobody knows who I am. That's the way I like it.
-- Posted by sideline starter on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 2:53 PM
Yes, bum....I plan on being in Bluff on Friday. What about you?
-- Posted by Rocket689 on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 3:05 PM
I do sideline

Ehh... That doesn't shock me.
-- Posted by sideline starter on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 3:43 PM
Someone's credibility seems to drop with each post. Calling us stupid won't change the truth.
-- Posted by sideline starter on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 4:44 PM
haha, it doesn't matter what he posts, we're going to question his credibility just for being a ND fan. They do go out and meet with students of other schools, don't deny it, I've went through it myself. Too many stories of how they talked to Hansbrough and Dewitt.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 5:42 PM

I had a ND coach call me for water polo, i turned them down..
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 6:38 PM
Yah thats definently not true about Hansbrough. I am an ND fan and also family of Hansbrough and know that's false. And if ND recruit, they wouldn't have a talent level of a 10-10 team.
-- Posted by V,B on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 7:24 PM
Just because you aren't good doesn't mean you don't recruit... it just means you aren't good at it.
-- Posted by Shadow-the-hedgehog on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 8:48 PM
Or sikeston has all the talent
-- Posted by Dustin Ruby on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 8:58 PM
or people just don't want to send their kids to a school that have a party get busted every year.
-- Posted by BB-BORE on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 9:02 PM
thats prolly it ^
-- Posted by Bleacherbum on Tue, Feb 1, 2011, at 9:19 PM
ND does recruit....they recruited Brother David and recruited Paul Hale...and recruited their teaching and coaching staff....wow, what a concept!!!
