Or lucky. It’ll be the obscure jersey of a name that makes it big worth the most.

Well, I own a few. The ones I do own are some of my favorite players but also have other reasons I like them. I actually am wearing my Roberto Clemente today. My next jersey will be my late father's favorite player who i also admire Jackie Robinson. I also love my Raiders and have Bo Jackson. If Madden had a jersey I'd have one but instead ill drink a Miller Lite!I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, but I’ve never understood the phenomenon of grown men buying a jersey with another man’s name on it.
I used to have a David Williams Rose Bowl jersey I wish I knew where the hell that was!

Just passing through to see 1) if there is any recruiting news; and 2) what's on the menu for today?
Ohhhhhhh ...
Ah, cuz "Feliz" means "happy," got it.
Go on, spit it out.
Well, despite the sidetracking, your overall question is important. What is the level of competition that he's doing this against.
I vaguely remember a Reabans somewhere in Southern Illinois back in the ‘70’s. DuQuoin maybe? Not Sure.

So, we've been told to (1) standby, commits are on the way and (2) burgers are on the grill - how do you like yours - rare medium, or well done? ; )
Here's a link to the boxscores from last year at the 17U AAU. Spot checked some of the top performers and saw none with P6 schools.

Pru, Where did you eat at Reaban's? My aunt and uncle owned one in Salem, pretty good burgers.

Kid can fill it up, just needs to develop defensively

I'm not good enough to play a sport at a high level that requires personalized jerseys/uniforms. Since I suck, I like to support those that don't. Preferably players on teams I cheer for and players that don't seem like A-holes. Fwiw, I'm happy to wear jerseys with women's names on the back too.I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, but I’ve never understood the phenomenon of grown men buying a jersey with another man’s name on it.
Had one of those in Vandalia right next to the high school 35-40 years ago.

He can definitely stroke it, but is he more than a 3 pt specialist at the next level (high major)? Going to the rack in HS doesn't mean much.
Not to be a wet blanket, but a lotta kids struggle to guard at the next level. Not expecting much defensively, but with a year under his belt, Certa should be a lot better defensively (he's gonna have to, assuming he wants to play).
I hope Certa provides staff with some answers.

Speaking of names on the backs of jerseys, am I the only one who derived childish pleasure from occasionally seeing Nick Huge sit to Luther Head’s left on the ‘02-03 Illini bench?
