this was when he was in bloomington (so consider context as it's always important when you play in bloomington). he basically was getting eaten by the other team's center (the kid was a skilled and intelligent player) and had about nine points in the first four minutes of the game on drives and stepbacks. then the whistles and phantom fouls started. four fouls (of which maybe one was legitimate) in the first four and half minutes of the first quarter sent the kid to the bench. this is bloomington and we can't have you showing up our prize recruited stud that is being touted. needless to say bell had his way with the second teamers when his size couldn't be countered. he had been shut down until then.

It was one of the worst officiated games I have ever attended.

So, are you saying that Bell was really good and then got the phantom calls called on him? Or was the other guy killing Bell and then the refs started calling fouls against said other guy?

umm bloomington players don't get screwed in bloomington.

if bhs's players had done to greg oden on the street what they did to him in their gym, they would have been arrested for assault.

I thought I read an article that said he was young for his class. But I could be mistaken. Will try to find the article or post.
 
It will be interesting to watch his progress this year in Charleston although I don't believe it's exactly a powerhouse conference he'll be playing in.If he's good he should dominate some people there in my opinion.I believe his coach said he wouldn't be 18 until after he graduated.
 
I umpired at babe Ruth this year and a 15 year old is a starter on Norths varsity d-ine and he's a junior thus year. 14 as a sophomore is possible. I was barely (2 weeks) 15 at start of my sophomore year. Graduated when I was 17.

Somewhat surprised by the age thing.A lot of families who have been around athletes or have been in sports hold their kids back to get that advantage in high school.An 18 going on 19 has a distinct edge in football and basketball at least.
 
Back to the subject and off of the birthing discussion......

As we talk about all the wings I only saw mention of K Smith once....is he for sure in the 12-13season?
Future wings- a wing to me is between a center and a SG

Kitchel ?
Koang
Gant
Arop
Burnett
R Smith
K Smith
Bell
RJ

Who of these can guard the 3? That would be the key, if we are calling kitchel a forward then we are playing 2 PF and one 3.
