How in the world you get beat by Martinsville with Gant and Anderson inside is beyond me, either Gant aint as good as advertised or some coach should have done lost his job. What a joke, this year's North team only scored like 30 to 40 points a game, how do you do that with a big man like Gant who is getting looked at by major schools across the country? Turble man, just turble....

you speak so much but say so little. you really do have no understanding of the game of basketball.

they scored 50 points a game.
 
that's not what he said. you can look it up on john harrel's site

anyway i want the coaching genius to explain to me how you are going to maximize the use of a man on the low block with poor shooters on the wings, a point guard who doesn't have to be guarded and the man on the block being double teamed before any sagging off the passer (if he can make the pass) even starts. coach me up baby. now's your chance. put that money where the old mouth is.

I think what he was asking was how does this team score so little when you read his post I think the remark was more along the lines of how could this team only score LIKE 30 OR 40 points per game . It was a question not trying to provoke you into an argument . grow the hell up

How that happens is by controlling possessions. It also happens by being a good defensive team and forcing their opponent to take time to score. The game is not played to set number of possessions each game. It's a time based game, so if TH North comes down and spends 20 seconds running their high post Flex in an effort to capitalize on North Central's aggressive defense and to shorten the game, it's going to lower the possession total.

As a whole, their guard play struggled, and most of the offense was run through their bigs, high feeding low, low feeding high. Though out of necessity, it provides fewer looks to scout against. Teams that pack in their defense can make it tough for TH North to get quick or clean scores, and to TH North's credit, they do a great job of making sure the right people take the right shot.

Heard Justin had an excellent showing in the Indyball.com tourney. Scored 18 of his team's first 31 in the tournament semi. Speaking as a North Patriot alum, way to go Justin! I know he's out in the Pitt Jam Fest so I hope to find out how that is going soon.
 
Besides the aforementioned Iowa offer, other offers have come from Bradley, Indiana State, St. Louis, Miami-Ohio, Rice, William Mary, Southern Illinois and Evansville. Other high majors that have shown interest include Stanford, Clemson and Virginia Tech.

Additionally, since this article came out, I believe interest has come from Ohio, Northern Iowa and a couple other schools.
 
Gant is a very skilled and efficient power forward. He has a high basketball IQ and plays with great energy and urgency on both ends of the floor. He can rim run or spot up in transition. Gant can finish with a clear path to the rim or hit the perimeter jumper where he is comfortable to about 18 feet but can hit an open three with needed time and space. Gant is a good ball handler for his size and an excellent passer. He also makes his presence felt on the glass by rebounding in his area defensively and sprinting from the perimeter or high post for offensive tip ins. Gant works to defend the low post and although he needs to add strength he gets the job done for his team on a consistent basis.

"Offers and Interest from Indiana State, Evansville, Southern Illinois, Northern Iowa, Miami of Ohio, Ohio, Saint Louis, Notre Dame, Rice, Northwestern, Michigan, William & Mary, Virginia Tech, Wright State, Valpo, and several others," said coach Woelfle. "He has taken unofficial visits to Evansville, Southern Illinois, Indiana State, Ohio, Miami of Ohio, Northern Iowa, Michigan, Purdue, and Indiana."

This was from a recent Rivals article. Honestly, it appears Indiana State has not recruited Justin very hard from what I've been told.

Another bummer. Does Little Eddie still post here? Does he know why Gant isn't being recruited? Does the staff just not think he is a good system fit?

Indiana State is doing all they are allowed to do, and I know when this stuff gets posted it causes a he said/he said type of thing. How about until or unless Justin, his father, or one of his coaches is quoted as saying that let's not speculate it. It's truly not fair to either side.
