MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[AndOne]

Benedictine will be a shadow of itself over the last couple of years. Unless there are a host of really really bad teams in NACC, it would not be surprising if BU finishes even lower than third.

Fixed it for you.

[AndOne]

Brayden Olson, BU's best player, will be immediately doubled about 90% of the time he touches the ball. The next best players will likely be 6'7" (really?) F Kenny Bogus, and 6'6" (really?) F Eric Grygo. Both are only Sophs, and neither can be described as explosive.

Wow, harsh. Not necessarily wrong, mind you...

Regardless Benedictine garners 5 votes in the opening top 25 poll.

IMO will be an interesting race this year in the league.

[AndOne]

Those 5 votes/points rank BU as the #42 team in the country. If that's true, the moon IS made of cream cheese. 🌛
You can thank the last 2 years for those votes.

Bogus is a legit 6'7 point-forward, was a steal for Benedictine. Potential conference MVP candidate over the next 3 years. Explosive may not be the right word for him, but smooth certainly is. He'll excite people this year.

* First of all, darkhorsebball, in the interest of full disclosure, you should point out that you are NOT an individual poster, but rather a recruiting service that goes out and competes with other such services for HS kids in order to represent them in their recruitment efforts. No doubt, Mr. Bogus is one of your former clients who you have a vested interest in promoting.

Now, that is not to say Kenny is a bad player, quite the contrary. In fact smooth may be a good description. He could very well be BU's #2 player this year. However, BU will need a lot more than smooth to come anywhere near the level of achievement they have attained the last couple of years. If they finish near the top of the conference standings it will be more a reflection that the conference as a whole is not very strong rather than BU being a powerhouse. Also, "steal" seems a bit over the top for a kid who shot 39% overall last year, 33% from three, only 50% from the line, and who averaged just 3.9 PPG. I hope BU didn't get arrested for that "steal." 
At this point, lets just say Kenny is a decent player with the potential to get better to the point of being a top player on his team.

My man, you are killing me. I am not a business account as you continue to insist, really not sure how a business account could benefit from posting on a random forum. I'm an individual who coached in Kenny Bogus' AAU program and got to know him there. He had multiple scholarship offers and turned them down in favor of paying to go to Benedictine, thus making him a steal by definition. I suggest you take a deep breath and let someone who knows the Chicagoland recruiting scene as well as anybody share his PERSONAL insights.

Also, let's not be too quick to discount a freshman when he played behind two all-conference senior guards.......

Scholarships from who? Last year, and even moreso the year before that, Benedictine could have beaten a lot of schools a player of Bogus' ability could have gotten a scholarship from.

And, if you're not a business entity, whats this:

https://www.darkhorserecruits.com/dark-horse-recruiting-success-stories/

And as far as you knowing the Chicago recruiting scene as well as anybody, if you aren't part of a recruiting service, how do you have the time to acquire all this knowledge?
Do you know as much as the college coaches whose lifeblood is recruiting and who go to multiple games all season long, season after season?

Agreed that Benedictine has been loaded the last few years, can also tell you that the coaches themselves described Bogus as a "steal". If you want to fight about an 18 year old kid, though, you're barking up the wrong tree.

That appears to be a website for Dark Horse Recruits, who, as I mentioned in the other post where you attacked me, I have helped navigate through the Chicagoland recruiting scene as they've established themselves. Are you a retro shoe brand that now runs tournaments? If not, what is this?

https://and1.com/live/

Any more questions, or is it blatantly clear to you how absurd you are being at this point?

It seems that as far as being absurd, your asking me if I am the And1 Corporation sets the standard! 

Also you "have helped them (darkhorsebball recruiting) navigate through the Chicagoland recruiting scene as they've established themselves," but you're not associated with them?  Tell that one to the jury! Geez.

So we're clear, you just made my point! And if introducing a 22 year old kid who wants to help high school athletes find homes at the college level to high school and college coaches is a crime, consider me guilty! Can we get back to talking about basketball now?

[AndOne]

A 22 year old kid? Is this someone who is supposed to know more about recruiting than HS and, especially, college coaches?
But forget it. Enough of this.

Besides, since I can only wish I was in some way a part of the And1 Corporation, its time for us to close on a quiz!

If a player makes a basket and is fouled in the process, what is that called? 

Moving on............
