13 points in 35 seconds. Best NBA shoe line ever.

@marshallkramsky @_BackyardSports Leaving Achmed out of the lineup is criminal. Jocinda in the clean-up spot? Yikes.

@overtime Clearly nobody in the comments watches @DaGuysSTL

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Kobe when he was asked who is toughest opponent was.

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

It’s clear UNC shouldn’t have even been a bubble team. They deserved to be in and then some. Bubba Cunningham vindicated

@ChrisShermanSr @diabetesattack @twidoywlu @CaseyLM64 @HoopsBobcat I’m glad you said that. I assume YC will be seeking to “play up” and play in 2A playoffs rather than submitting a waiver to remain in 1A?

[V̷a̷t̷o̷r̷ @VatorSports]

The time Tracy McGrady dropped 13 points in 33 seconds and knocked down a contested game winner was insane to watch.

Tracy McGrady’s highlights are SECOND TO NONE…don’t @ us

@ChrisShermanSr @Christian_Sov12 @bradysovern2 If you don’t think there’s an advantage to getting players from all over the place as opposed to getting only what a town of 1-2 thousand people has to offer then I can’t reason with you.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@ChrisShermanSr @twidoywlu @CaseyLM64 @HoopsBobcat I suggested earlier in the thread that my thought would be A/AA public and A/AA private. Enrollment means very little when kids from anywhere can attend the school.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

Private schools: “If you complain about private schools in 1A, you are just afraid of good competition.”

Also private schools: *Submit a waiver to stay in 1A to avoid better competition

[Aaron Britton @NestoHoops]

🏀 Notables that will need a waiver to stay 1A 🏀
💠 Ida Crown
💠 La Salette
💠 Lycee-Francais
💠 Newman
💠 St. Bede
💠 St. Teresa
💠 St. Thomas More
💠 Uplift
💠 Yorkville Christian

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@Christian_Sov12 @bradysovern2 Since the good programs want to play good competition, I’m sure Yorkville Christian won’t be turning in a waiver to stay in 1A next year. I’m sure they’ll want to play better competition in 2A. Right?

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@joshmckown527 You’ll have to excuse him. Comes from a “school” that has grabbed kids from all kinds of large districts to beat up on 1a teams. Their state title roster in 2022 had kids from Yorkville, Rich Central, Bolingbrook, Dwight and Oswego.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@twidoywlu @CaseyLM64 @HoopsBobcat I don’t disagree with this. I don’t think the solution is necessarily to bump them up to 3a/4a. I wouldn’t mind A/AA private and A/AA public.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@bradysovern2 Perfect. I’ll find five players from Yorkville/Rich Central/Bolingbrook/Dwight (aka the 2022 Mustangs) and you find five from Leland. You can have infinite time to develop them while I sit on my couch. Let me know when you’re ready to play.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@CaseyLM64 @twidoywlu @HoopsBobcat Exactly. You only need 5-7 players for a basketball team. Yorkville Christian won their first sectional in 2019 with a total enrollment of 64 students. Enrollment means nothing.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@lacount_tom @golfpapaw @ILLHoopsScoops Let me guess. Private schools have no advantage over public?

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@BarryKnowsBall @diabetesattack @joshmckown527 Really built that culture and developed those players when they were younger huh? Lol get outta here.

[Traci McGradi @TMACkicks1]

@BarryKnowsBall @diabetesattack @joshmckown527 “It’s the process not the result” 😂 What was Yorkville Christian’s process in 2022 when they brought in a bunch of brand new faces to win a 1a title? Or how about Mooseheart when they won 1a in 2014 after bringing in three kids from Sudan (6’6, 6’10 & 7’)?
