That seems right to me, although Cunningham is pretty skilled w/the ball. He's not going to blast you off the bounce like the PG & wing kids, but he'll generate looks as a step out 4.

Two things I'm excited for are Leslee Smith & Jones on the glass. Both those kids go to work on the boards.

I bet Norman jumps someone in the rotation, if only b/c he's a very good shooter and passer. Weak athlete, but he knows the O from Day 1

That's some exciting video of Jones. Love his athleticism. Multi-dimensional.
Can't wait to see him fill the lane & tear the rim down @ Moody.

Cunningham put up 28 on Friday night against a very good North Crowley team.

Interesting that both Jones and Williams seem to lead Kimball most nights, while the most highly touted recruit, with the biggest mouth(Jarion Henry), tends to bring up the rear

Some brand new game video of Eric Norman. He's put on some weight, and he has some skill. His knowledge of the O from Day 1, can't hurt

Ponydoh, thanks for the video.
Norman looks bigger & stronger than the last video we saw of him. Is he 6'10" now? Liked the explosion he showed on the dunk. Hard to believe that 7'1" kid he was guarding is just a soph.

I really don't know his exact size, but if he's 6'9, I'm a lot more excited. Either way, his skill and knowledge of the O will probably bump him higher in the rotation than many believe. Like I've said before, Dino Trigonis has him as a top 10 forward on the west coast, and Dino has seen everyone. He runs the Pangos events/camps and coaches Belmont Shore

Henry can't be expected to produce on the court when so much of his effort and attention is devoted to posting godawful grades.

Is anyone in the area [deleted] away their future worse than Jarion Henry is right now?

Here's a video w/a few Cannen dunks. Just your typical AAU nothing video, but I don't much care, posting it anyway

Any good games worth checking out coming up for Manuel or Cunningham? Anyone from Team Milo's want to check out a HS game coming up?
