3 NorCal players stand out at Pangos

[Streak One]

From Ronnie Flores, three local players made the Top 50 list from the event:

#23 Nathan Mensah (Prolific Prep)
#25 Ira Lee (Prolific Prep)
#40 Damari Milstead (Moreau Catholic)

I get that it's kind of a technicality but can we keep write ups and rankings to norcal players?? Milstead is the only real norcal play in that group.

That is a fair stance to take, but if you play in NorCal, you get coverage like a NorCal player.

Why should we change our stance that is also fair to fit someone else?

I believe Jade Smith was also at Pangos this year...

Agree 100% with vuvovich. I read the post and it attracts me thinking wow we have 3 local kids who did well. I dig deeper and its really 1 (mislead). Sorry I'm not buying into the prolific prep local thing. I'm not changing my stance and I think I'm in the majority not the minority. Nothing against those kids because they are extremely talented.

I brought this topic to the board months ago. Those kids are extremely talented and eventual NBA players but they are not from NorCal, they are Prep School kids that do not play against other NorCal schools. I love what Prolific is doing. We need a high end Prep School, I would also like them to add a Post -Grad as well. But Josh Jackson is not a NorCal kid..! Why do we try to claim him? (And Others?) I may be wrong but wasn't Vance Jackson who is clearly from SoCal in the NCP rankings last year??

Its a joke. NCP trying to toot horn by making it seem like we have higher caliber players. That is the only reason I can come up with.
Again, wonderful players and probably great kids too. Not suggesting that.

Nathan doesn't care about rankings or even know what NorCalPreps.com is. Nathan is just happy to be in the United States, breathing the same air we get to breath everyday.

No doubt, Nathan will be one of the top 3 2018 Big men on the West Coast in the coming years. Nathan has the body type, athleticism and will have the skill to play at the highest level professionally. People just got a glimpse of that recently at PANGOS.
