Keshad is a special talent with a special skillset. The potential is there to be a very special player one day...
I agree. Right now, he is an extra-special athlete, but is short in game skills like shot selection and intelligent low-turnover play (and Envison's AAU-like "system" ain't helping, imho). Once he gets that side of his game in order, tho... WATCH OUT!
Some smaller program like the ones above, or a JC or something, is going to get a real diamond-in-the-rough STEAL!

Your making statements saying that envision like AAU system is the problem. That's not the case with him envision has a system the problem is a lot of people in the way giving the wrong advice and not helping him keeping him away from training that could help him talk about what you know about.
Did you know anything about him as freshman or sophomore? What about his experience with the head coach.

No, I don't know anything about his head coach, just going off of what I saw in last year's El Cerrito tournament. That was the first time I saw him play.
And it wasn't just me... A few other experienced fans around me were commenting similar things while watching those games.
They also agreed that Keshad is an unreal athlete, and with the right guidance and discipline could be one terrific college player.

That's funny that you say that you seen only that tournament and not what that team did throughout the season.
How many D-5 small charter school that you know of competed to run for state two years running? Lost 1 game in four years in the regular season play? League championship 4 years in a row! Last year runner up in the OAL! Last 4 years with a league mvp and multiple all first and second players!.So when you guys speak on Keshad and envision please respect what they are doing with nothing...

I actually did see a game or two of theirs online... Of course, that doesn't really let you see the big picture, such as what happens strategy-wise from the sidelines, etc.
What I was talking about regarding my perceived lack of discipline was things like timeouts taken in which it looked from the stands like an opportunity for the players to line up at the Gatorade bucket and the coach not addressing the players at all during that timeout... This usually followed by bad plays, turnovers, etc. right after the timeout. The team not even going to the locker room at the half and once again addressed by the coach barely if at all, when obviously one was provided...
Maybe I'm missing something, but those things look like lack-of-discipline to me.
Can't say a couple playoff wins over weak teams (especially when Envision had a good bit more physically-gifted talent and should have won those games a *lot* more easily) in the last two years constitute a "run for state", nor can I really say that running through that league when ya have a D1 talent like Keshad on the floor is all that impressive... But ya hafta start somewhere, I guess...
I have nothing against Envision or its players, though... I'd just like to see Keshad and this athletic bunch achieve what it looks like they're athletically capable of.

And so does the coach of that program and as far as the league goes it is what it is as you should know building a program is a process coach addressed the team but as you said key word discipline egos get in the way of that when people come between coaches and players that's pre season and process don't down talk the coach you don't know anything about because the kid wasn't that way in the beginning .
Well, okay... Sounds like you're saying Keshad's ego, or maybe other players, is a problem and possibly the cause of the team's sloppy and maybe selfish play.
Maybe we're finding the same conclusion in the end, just a different way of getting there. Can we agree to disagree on that?
Whatever the deal is, hope things get straightened out. Whether it's program-based or player-based issues, it would be a shame for the kid's obvious talents go to waste the way Hook Mitchell's did.

Keshad is no hook. Please do not even compare. I respect all OPINIONS. But that's not fair or close to the same . I know both people very well. Blessed to say that. We all have Demons and hook fought some definitely. Keshad is a good young man whose talent will rise to the top. He is a kid trying to find his way.
Just for clarity, I wasn't saying that Johnson and Mitchell were the same, not talent-wise nor "demon-wise". I was just using MItchell's name as an example of a guy who had worlds of talent and wasted it.
Most definitely will rise he's got support group and his coach cares a great deal about each and every one of the kids on that team and that program and their future as well they will be fine
