If we are getting outside of NCS - any talk about de la Salle being an open type competitor is over. Next year they will return their main ball handler whom will be a league mvp candidate. Enough talent on the bench to push for ncs open next year. Your looking around 4-6 seed as of today.Who does De La Salle return?
Salesian returns almost every one. My not too early pick for preseason #1 NorCal team.
SJS fans, please chime in. Inderkum? MC? Monterey Trail? Destiny's Child?
SI and Riordan will be in the mix.
SI returns Whitley and big men Landers and Moore.
Riordan returns Hilman, Phitovs, White, DJ Armstrong along with 2 promising 6-4 freshman in Carter and Loevner.

Good knowledge about Cardinal Newman . St Mary’s being a player next year makes senseNewman loses best player and main inside player.
DLS - loses 4 starters
Salesian is clear #1 in NCS
St Mary’s - Albany will add some pieces nxt year and will be better in Collins 2nd year.
HS portal will be active let’s see who’s where when school starts.
The kid with braids was the ball handlerMonowar
Nah at de la salle. Light skin kid ran point.No he was 2 and the shooter
Who is your 6 NCS ?Blair was the real PG. Other 2 brought the ball up when he didn’t want to. Still missing 4 starters and they need to hit the portal or they won’t win EBAL or be NCS Open. I’d say Dublin is EBAL front runner at the moment.

No clue on the 6th yet have to see who ends up where out of the portal.
Did they change the rule where you can't transfer in and play for your aau coach?Yeah, Salesian has a lot coming back, though they lose Alvin Loving... Also, their JV went 24-2, so there is probably some good help coming up.
I have also heard good things about St. Mary's-Albany... Marshall Collins, coach, also has the Oakland Soldiers, sounds like a good pipeline to me... Saw 'em once, against Salesian. Not ready yet, but maybe coming up...
True. I wonder if Zaza had a late growth spurt, a la Rick Barry and all of his kids?Zsa zsa son at de la salle need to grow. He been that size for 3 years now
Pachulia's live on the mean streets of Lafayette. That's right in Acalanes' and Campo's backyard. https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/01...ir-way-in-us-basketball-scene-at-de-la-salle/According to Wiki, Zaza was 6'8" at age 13, so it's unlikely his son will grow much... Maybe an inch... Maybe.
#4 Bryce PattonWhich guard is coming back?
No PattonPer DLS Maxpreps’ roster, Patton is a senior. https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/concord/de-la-salle-spartans/basketball/roster/
