35-24 now, 55 secs left 3rd... Cougs not shooting well, but CP having a *horrible* shooting night. I’m not sure they’ve even made ONE shot beyond 10-12 feet.... But Cougs make a putback at the buzzer (again) to make it 37-24 after three quarters.
If you throw out all the prep schools in Norcal, Aidan Mahaney maybe the best high school basketball player in Northern California right now....regardless of class. His game is smooth, like Stockton or Nash. He's going to end up being a great pickup for whatever program he chooses.
Best player in NorCal right now?.. He watches a lot of Stephen A Smith. He likes to hype things up. Mitty wasn’t as good as he hyped them up to be. He must have forgot about Isa Silva who is #58 in his class, or Marcus Bagley who is #49 right now. Bryce Monroe is also a hell of a player. Monty Bowser, Roy from Dublin, Jackson SPSV. Probably don’t have the ceiling of Mahaney but all really good players RIGHT NOW. Throw Beasley in their too. Jelani too, list goes on and on. Mahaney is good no doubt about that.
It is hard to compare a sophomore to others, and in fairness to Mahaney saying he is better than Bagley at this point or even Silva is a stretch for the moment. However he was state freshman of the year for Cal Hi, and he is currently being heavily recruited by Arizona. He led his team as a frosh to a state title. So to say he is better than the above mentioned two than anyone else outside of the prep schools, then sure I would agree. But he has a little more to show and has a better chance with such a accolade come his junior year. Because I feel after this next summer, his offers are going to blow up coast to coast. Just my two cents.
He’s obviously not the best overall player in NorCal as a soph any rational person knows that. But he is damn good for his grade and appears to be getting better.
i dont disagree... but the best in the state is what he said... cocaine is a helluva drug
He might not be the best individually but he’s on a short list of who I would want to start a team with. Very very skilled. Silva to me is the best player I’ve seen in NorCal from a talent standpoint. I could easily see him running the point for virtually any top 20 team. If I had the first pick in the draft I would pick him. (Regardless if he’s a holdback)
Mahaney has to get stronger but the future is very bright. If he ends up 6”4-6”5 it will be scary when he’s a senior.
