Heck of a slate tonight…. Great games all over the place!

Stuart Hall lost to Athenian 64-60
Hall way too many missed free throws and layups
No 3….i cant pronounce his name but he had to have at least 30 of the points.
The 49ers loss crushed my soul
This loss has literally destroyed sports for me for the next couple months.
I could really care less about Giants baseball.
Just soul crushing, painful, all the words you can think of….thats how I feel right now

There is a small chance we get the at large bid since we will most likely be the highest seed eliminated early.
But right now I’m considering that a long shot unfortunately
Berkeley was also a 2-seed that lost tonight. May come down to those 2 teams for the final NorCal spot. I’m not sure what the tiebreaker is, or if they just flip a coin?
If there are two spots the Hall still alive.
If just one it’ll go to Berkeley since they are in the higher division
Yeah the sports Gods gave me 3 Giants World Series titles, 4 Warriors titles and a State Title.
49ers have lost the last 3 Super Bowls
I’ll take it honestly. But still I love my Hall more than all those sports teams combined, so to lose a game like we did tonight plain old sucks
But that’s just sports…..
I don’t plan to post much, if at all going forward, but I just wanted to say Conor F’n Maguire! Remember the name!
I hear Taylor swift has a catalog of songs that could help you through this heartache.
Hes 5’10 and would be lucky if a D3 school offered him a scholarship.
How many times do I have to tell people this. If you’re under 6’4 your odds of playing college basketball are slim to none. Odds get a tiny bit higher if you’re 6’2 or 6’3 but 6’1 and shorter and you might as well play another sport like baseball where height doesn’t matter as much.
I’m all for propping kids up. Celebrating them.
But I am also a realist, and anyone who is under 6’4 chasing a D1 scholarship is essentially chasing the impossible dream.
Under 6'4 is fine. You just have to be an elite Ball handler, strong defender or great shooter.
Nearly impossible to be an elite defender when your opponent is 4 inches or more taller than you are.
Can someone name one elite defender in the nba is the height range I mentioned above?
And I know there is Curry, trae young and Brunson but those guys give up just as many points as they score sometimes.
But defense isn’t sexy so no one mentions that
As a 6'5 player I know the advantages. I just think you are giving misleading information.
While prolific can get all 6'4 fellas.. the best two on the team last year were barely 6 feet. And I agree.. curry, young and Brunson are not great defensive players solo.. but that's why I said you better be able to do something really good
Thank you, Liberty’s coach has the energy and command. To hold his team accountable and get them locked in for a road victory. I do believe Pittsburg would of won round 1 if they did not get matched with Liberty.
Check out how those two 6 footers are doing at Auburn and Xavier…..honestly if I had my druthers, I would have started Zion at some point last year. But I had no say in the matter.
For the record they are great kids….just proves my point that in TODAYS game there is very little room for guys under 6’3 past the college level. And both those kids are pissed at me because I told them what other people wouldn’t.
I hate knocking people with a lack of experience, especially if they're trying to learn, but this comes off like a college freshman who takes into to psychology and thinks they can diagnose people after 1 semester. The statement "if you're under 6'4 your chance of playing college ball are slim to none. Let's take a look at the ap top 10 and see if there are any players in that range. I won't add anyone who doesn't avg 5 or more ppg and only listed at 6'1 and under.
Uconn- None
Houston- LJ Cryer 6'1 15.0 ppg
Jamal Shead 6'1 13.3 ppg
Purdue- Braden Smith 12.8 ppg 5.7 rpg
Lance Jones 12.8 ppg
Tennessee- Zakai Zieglier 5-9 11.0 ppg
Iowa State- Tamin Lipsey 6'1 12.8 ppg
Marquette- Sean Jones 5'10 5.8 ppg
Duke- Jeremy Roach 6'1 14 0 ppg
Kansas- Dajuan Harris 6'1 8.0 ppg
UNC- RJ Davis 6'0 21.3 ppg
Elliot Cadeau 6'1 7ppg
In doing this quick rundown, there are even more players on these 10 teams between 6'2-6'4. We all know players never list themselves shorter than they are. If you had argued size in regards to a team's make up and their potential success, you can make that argument. The reality is, like ankle pointed out, if you can be elite at something and play your role, coaches will find a place for you. The key word being elite.
Edit: Can't exclude nor cal short kings Darrion Trammel 8ppg and Ryan Beasly 7.4, both listed at 5-10.

This is good stuff. Basketball is a sport that a lot of different types of players can succeed. Yes, if you are undersized for a position, you need to do a lot of other stuff really well, but it isn't a stop sign for future success
Especially since this whole convo started with me pumping up my guy, and I didn’t ask nor make any statement about his college prospects 
As his coach at International I’m throwing some love on the undersized kid who’s carried our program on his back and led us to our first norcal bid in 18 years. In our 3 NCS games has averaged 24/9/5 as a junior along with the best leadership I have ever had in my 15 years as a coach.
And although I’m a little bit biased yes he will play d3 ball.
I’m sorry that Hall lost. I have actually head coached each and every player in their rotation aside from Spencer, who I’ve assisted and spent many hours in the gym with. I’m extremely fond of those guys and Charley and it felt destined for us to play each other in the semis. Huge bummer that didn’t happen.
Gotta give credit to Athenian too. They are playing their best ball at the right time and #3 Surya Devasenapathy deserves major love for the way he’s been playing. That kid has worked extremely hard to get to where he’s at. Curious to see how they do against Head Royce tonight.
