Jake Jakubec basketball recruit
« on: March 10, 2012, 10:35:05 PM »
closing on scoring 400 points in his senior year, thats pretty damn impressive for the confrence he plays in (maybe the best basketball confrence in the valley) and he's an outstanding 3 point shooter

YSU basketball would be oh so much better if they started to recruit like football and take long hard guys at just NEO players

Are you kidding me?  Look at the "success" we have had with Poland players from the same conference.

High school basketball in the Mahoning Valley stinks.  Being the best conference in that environment means absolutely nothing.  This young man is like a thousand other kids: he can shoot if he is open.  Some of them are playing at the college level that they belong-Division 3. 

When Eargle finishes next season, I think that he will be the first Valley kid to complete all four years in D1 basketball in over a decade.  Our few basketball-centric fans will correct me if that impression is incorrect, but the statement is not off by much.  In the Mahoning Valley, for every D1 basketball recruit over the span of a decade there are 100 D1 football recruits.  The best athletes usually only play football.  That is the culture.  And the lack of any type of local base is one of the big problems for YSU basketball.

Wick - D'Aundray Brown of Cleveland State should join Eargle after next season. And I believe you are correct - I don't recall anyone else for quite awhile.

Geez, forgot all about Brown. OK, so three in about a decade.  Words like terrible and pathetic don't even do justice to this situation.

Eargle's high school teammate Desmar Jackson is on track to graduate from Southern Illinois.   He played 2 years at Wyoming before transferring to SIU.  He sat out this year and will have 2 years to play starting next year.

Ditto---I made a decision  to go see the best High School game available weekly and got to a total of 0
I HATE MIAMI.  WATERBOARDING IS NOT TORTURE.  ABORTION IS.

Was going to stay out of this one but I can't. Jakubec?? Are you serious?? He is being recruited by D3 schools like Mt. Union. The local yokels [hello, Wildcat] that think we should be recruiting local high school basketball players are the same ones that think that we should have hired con-men like Bob Patton or Bob LaRicca as coaches.

This great star just scored a resounding three points as his team was blown away in the regional tournament.  To reinforce the point IP was making, 99% of the population have absolutely no idea how good an athlete must be to play D1 basketball - or D1 football for that matter.
