foundation game tonight. Heard that one of Odowd point guards not playing? I think his name was Nassim? Can anyone confirm this? With DLS fire power what will Lou do to slow them down? Hardy will get his, who else can score if Nassim is out?
 
Even if gaskin did play it would be tough for BOD to beat De La

yeah BOD is down this year is and DLS is loaded. Can't see this one even being close, especially is BOD is missing someone. Looking for DLS to open up their offense from the Allocco era.
 
Sports09- Ha ha… I'm with you. They are going to spank teams. They were "average" last year at 27-5 and have virtually the entire team back. Add 6"5 260 freak of nature (ASIASI) and its scary.
 
Sports 09 & L Legend 33: 09 that is a good call as long as DLS stays in the JV state division. If they get bumped up to the "Open", they will be lucky to get to round 2. Legend, slow down, Asiasi
took a year off. It will take time. As far as freak of nature?? Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Andrew Wiggins, Jason Kidd, those kind of guys are freaks of nature. Asiasi is a great athlete, not a basketball athlete, but a football athlete that will eventually have a great shot at playing on Sunday in the future.
 
NSBasketball- don't kid yourself. Round 2? In Norcal. Ha ha…. Asiasi is a glue guy. He will be a double digit rebounder. Doesn't need to score on this team. He's a freak athlete. Alabama along with every top school in the nation doesn't recruit non freaks. Didn't say he was a freak basketball player. Lets talk come March. DLS will be playing.
 
I had something else going tonight, or I would have been there...

I'm assuming that Asiasi, if he indeed chooses to play hoops, would have to wait until football is done... And that he has to practice some number of minimum hours before he can play in a game... Correct?

If all that is true and Sparty football goes to the State Bowl as expected, Asiasi might not see hoops action until the big MaxPreps tournament in Palm Springs. That'll be some tough competition in which to try to get your "basketball legs" back... Especially after having skipped the year before.

I know he's a fantastic athlete, but this is a bit of a tall order. Will be interesting...
 
Why am I not in the least bit surprised by that score? Get use to this guys. NCP you guys are nuts if you don't think DLS is #1. Mitty ahead of them right now with Much gone? Bahahhahhha.

These are HS kids guys. 17-18 years old. I remember transitioning from football to basketball or basketball to baseball. It was not that long of a process. Keep that in mind.
 
I think DLS will be very good, but don't see them as an easy #1. And I think Asiasi won't be back until Jnauary after he plays in his All American game.
 
How can anyone predict Moreau as #1 team? Who have they beat? what have they won? DLS win beat them by 20 minimum. They can't press DLS, with Ratinho handling the ball, you honestly think they would be able to trap him?
On the Asiasi case, I was told last night that he would be back mid January and be ready for playoffs in March. All they need him is for defensive and rebounding purposes. They just need that big Bo o bang with other bigs. Trust me they have enough scorers from what I saw last night. Ratinho can get to hole anytime he wants, Peters can shoot and roll players can shoot. They started everyone last night 6'4 and above? Who else can do that in NorCal or even SoCal?
 
Norcal Preps rankings are a joke. Sports09 I agree Moreau have not won anything but they get the #1 ranking, based upon what? In addition, they ranked O'Dowd at #9, based upon what?
 
This is like beating a dead horse. Who did Moreau beat last year?

Drake- Nor-Cal D-4 Finalist
Modesto Christian- Nor- Cal Open Finalist
Mitty- D-2- State Championship participant
Alemany- So-Cal D-4 Finalist

The only 3 team they lost too in the state of California is Mater Dei (Open Finalist), Bishop O'Dowd (Open Finalist) and Serra (who kick the crap out of them)

They return every player on the team. If it was up to me its a toss up for #1 between MC, DLS, Modesto Christian.

Lets get back to how bad Santa Clara's coach is, thats the only team/staff you guys hate worse than Moreau. lol
 
Yeah ranking this early do not mean nothing. The kid is raw and has a few years to go. Athleticism as heck
 
Sports 09: You are correct about the rankings.. Thats why I go back to this - DLS returns the exact same team that did nothing last year. Then out of nowhere they win the "Open Championship"? Doesn't make a lot of sense, but thats why they play the games.
 
Technically no team has beaten anyone. All preseason ranking are a series of educated guesses. Did De La Salle win this foundation game last year too?

Moreau shouldn't be No. 1 because they haven't won anything but O'Dowd (which has won something) is ranked too high at No. 9. Am i following that poor logic?

Also, the O'Dowd ranking was based on full health.

Norcal Preps rankings are a joke. Sports09 I agree Moreau have not won anything but they get the #1 ranking, based upon what? In addition, they ranked O'Dowd at #9, based upon what?
 
I just want people to realize how good DLS is. Get use to these boat races. Moreau got embarrassed by an undermanned Serra team. DLS will not have any issues with them.
