Alonzo Verge got buckets today. Led MeanStreets with 18 points. Made a lot of things happen off the bounce.

Verge has a Lovett type feel to him and his game... Not sure about all the drama etc but sure as heck would love to turn on the tv and watch him in an orange jersey

Me either. But you think he would want to be mentored by Dee? I think that would be very appealing to Zo. Who would you take, Frazier or Verge?

Yeah I definitely agree, that Verge would really enjoy being around Dee. In a world where I got to choose I would say Verge. Just the electric style he plays with would be so valuable to a college team..

And while I'm on, definitely put me down as pro-Verge. Love watching that kid.

Mac Irvin 16U lost a close one. But Ayo Dosunmu put on an offensive show. Had him w/ 28 points. One of the best young scoring PGs out there.

Culver mentions Illini.

"While Culver is hoping to visit those schools soon, one school he has visited is Illinois, and he came away very impressed with the Illini.

“I liked the Illinois visit a lot,” said Culver. “I like how the campus is open and just more than basketball Coach (John) Groce and Coach (Dustin) Ford are two of the highest character guys I know. I saw how they interacted with their players and it was great.”"

Goodwin just ripped down a rebound, dribbled down and threw a long alley-oop pass to Finke who dunked it to put the Eagles up by 9 over Mokan Elite early in the 2nd half. Wouldn't mind seeing plays like that for a few years at SFC.

http://www.nikeeyb.com/live-stream/ Court 1. They're only showing Court 1 and Court 2 games this weekend, I assume due to technical issues.

Mac Irvin Fire highlights from yesterday, including Da'Monte's game winner with a second left last night. Finished with 24 points and MIF won by 2. (Also some Mike Irvin philosophy at the very end for those who are interested in Mike Irvin's philosophy.:))

[FONT=&quot]EYBL and D1Circuit have been hyping Mokan vs Team Penny (1 loss each) as the #Game of the Session since the middle of last week. The Eagles just beat Mokan 68-55 . Big games for Goodwin, Garland and Finke.

[FONT=&quot]Not talked about enough with Jordan Goodwin: He WANTS to guard the opponent's best player. Just hounding Michael Porter down the stretch.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Alonzo Verge in the open floor is a thing of beauty. He's had a great weekend so far. Really elevated his game.[/FONT]
Derek Piper ‏@DPiperScout 7m7 minutes ago Alonzo Verge is showing that electric talent. Back-to-back no-look dimes on the break.



[FONT=&quot]Fire vs MS, the one game I really wanted to watch this weekend and it's not on courts 1 or 2. Bummer.

:thumb: That might actually be true for the younger age groups but you put guys like Mike Irvin in charge of a team and have a Peach Jam at the end of a 'season' and 17U teams are out there to just win, baby.

Sounds good. We're in the hunt. Need a true PF. One of Culver, John or the Texas kid, please.
