Have we ever gotten a kid from Oak Hill before?
I apparently don't understand any part of that tweet.
Videos only. He seems to have some pop in his step already for being so big. 2-3 more inches off the ground would be huge for him.

As others have noted, Fletch, hard work, the nutrition staff, hard work and desire will transform Cockburn into a D1 monster.
I guess the guy who was guarding him was talking a lot of trash, and Whitney put up 24 against him. That's my interpretation. Not sure what the "You're sorry," has to do with anything but must have been part of the trash talking.I apparently don't understand any part of that tweet.
Wow, that's like a parallel universe.If you get bored today, read Uconn and Pitt fan forums. Feels good to be on the other side for once.

So we will be only 9 players away from being able to field a mens soccer team, without even using extra scholarships? Sounds like alternative motives to me...Kofi's excellent pop in his step stems from the fact he started sports as a soccer player.

Speaking of Oak Hill they are the odds on favorite to win the 2019 Geico National HS Championship, which ironically will be held at Kofi's former HS, Christ the King. ADLR graduated from Christ the King, too.
Ok, not to be "that guy" but I guess I'll be "that guy". How do we know Fletch is going a good job? I recall he has improved verticals on many including Malcolm, Trent, etc but don't recall any of those guys ever dunking the ball and it seems to me we tire and lose steam in the 2nd half...As others have noted, Fletch, hard work, the nutrition staff, hard work and desire will transform Cockburn into a D1 monster.
It's amazing that the posters there feel there is such a disparity between the 2 schools. Reasons for ILL as opposed to that little school that is a protruding appendage on the backside of NYC:Wow, that's like a parallel universe.
ADLR?

Didn't Griffin's HS team (Stepiniac, IIRC) beat Christ the King in the NY playoffs last year? Did Cockburn play in that game?
Great questions. I think Fletch has done amazing things as far as nutrition and strength. Our players have made fantastic gains in shaping their bodies through Fletch’s program. I’m definitely no expert when it comes to athletic training but I have wondered if we sacrifice basketball athleticism for these gains somehow.

Obviously alot involved in losing games in the 2nd half - and clearly our aggressive D (which for some reason has our 7 foot post trying to deny a pass 18 feet from the rim) has alot to do with gassing out - but the big question I have is the method / end result demonstrable?
Or is the point, we'd really suck if he didn't do what he is doing?
Because everyone has different ideas of what constitutes that. The only important set of criteria is that of JW. The buyout pretty much makes his seat ice cold, barring a reason for a dismissal.I'll never understand why people on that connecticut board (and this one) think that Underwood was or is on the hot seat.
In general, many (most?) posters post based on very limited knowledge or research. So, it's an opinion based on few data points other than looking at the team record (and perhaps reading the Sun Times). Our record looks like trash and doesn't feel good but it has been tough schedule.I'll never understand why people on that connecticut board (and this one) think that Underwood was or is on the hot seat.
I remember similar questions coming up when Rod Cardinal was the BBALL trainer. People were concerned that the weight lifting and bulking up of the players was sacrificing their athletic ability. I suppose it is a trade-off between strength and cardiac conditioning. In an ideal world, you would want both, but time only allows for so much training. I'm sure that Fletch is aware of these trade-offs and is doing what he thinks the players need most. Hopefully this jibes with what BU's offense and defense require of the players (which seems to me to lean towards the conditioning side).Great questions.
