Fact about Roosevelt's top 3 players - Burries and Williamson transferred from Riverside Poly to Roosevelt after their freshman year and soph years, respectively. Burries turned 19 last Sept. Walker transferred from JW North after his sophomore year. All 3 played junior aau ball together. All within CIF rules, but facts.

19 years old is very relevant....mature...an advantage...nice feedback

Riordan has kids from another continent.

19 and another continent… True and true . The high stakes of big boy ball. It’s on another level

Again I don’t know how you adjust to him by double or triple teaming him. Gilbert Arenas was asked why didn’t you send your son to one of the power schools. He said cause I want him to learn to break double and triple teams and he did all season. And got to a state game as well.

So maybe zone and flip from a 2-3 to 2-2-1 to a 1-3-1. But to hold a coach responsible for let’s double and triple team, that’s tough. He can easily get out of all of that. They are ranked 2 in the country on the real high school list. It’s not just because of Brayden alone. He has some damn good teammates that have to be guarded as well.

Double team, zone, something, but you don't just keep doing the some thing thats not working. Basketball is about adjustments and can't not make adjustments throughout a game.

It's been an accredited International boarding program for over a decade. All within CIF rules, hence the mandatory SOP for transfers. Does St. Joe's have a boarding program for Tounde, Bare and the other international players?

Within the rules do it - go find the air up there - let’s beat so cal

Also no boundaries within sf.

Was coaching at a track event yesterday for CYO and noticed new "7th gr" runner that was not there last year. She already looked like at least a high school sophomore and she demolished her 100M heat. Call it sour grapes but why such governing bodies allow much older "kids" compete in high school is backwards. Are you saying there are benefits to having your kid flunk a couple grades just so they have a physical maturity advantage? Burries, if he is 19, literally was a man amongst boys.

Burries, if he is 19, literally was a man amongst boys.

Huge advantage..maturity-- strength...confidence...especially for someone who can really play

Read earlier in thread he turned 19 in September...that makes him 19.5...closer to 20 at tipoff

Agree 100% basic coaching - don’t let the other teams best player beat you. Full deny, run someone at him on the catch, trap ball screens. Make someone else have a career night. Riordan was deep. Keep a fresh body on him all game. Especially put Tofi on him some to rough him up. Too late now but the 44 shoulda been on 20+ FT attempts @ least

I propose a NorCal series tournament for top NorCal teams. A six teams series with a pool play and then a championship game. Maybe simply basketball or Coaches corner digest should take this up. 1. this is good for hs basketball fans, 2. teams will get to complete against open division teams during the season.

How about the CIF just allows teams to schedule whoever they want, so we could see:

Prolific vs Riordan
Riordan vs Montverde
De La Salle vs IMG (Especially in Football)

Once the CIF changes their out of date rules, then teams like Riordan will be able to schedule more challenging opponents

Wasatch Academy which is a prep school played some CA teams a couple years back.

Let a team that is good enough challenge themselves even against prep schools

They don't even need to bother with the prep schools to find better competition.

Literally could just do 3 day trip to SoCal and hit the Valley (NDSO/HW) LA (Redondo/SJB) and the IE (Roosevelt) and get great competition. And really could pick several other SoCal schools that would give them competition they wont find in NorCal.
