ALSTON – JUCO team (Sheridan, WY.) was 27-6 under him last year, 51-13 in his 2 years there.
At Dunbar HS, was on 2 state Class 1A championships – as a senior was named to the Baltimore All-City team and was MVP of the Mayor’s Academy Tourney.
TAQQEE – Cushing Academy won N.E. Prep School Ath. Conf. Class AA championships in both his junior and senior years. He was named to Conf. second team.
POSLEY - Last year his Indian Hill C. C. team was 34-3 and ranked No.1 in the Nat’l J.C. Ath. Assoc. Div. 1 poll, making it to the championship game. 38% 3 pt. shooter, his 91 makes placing him 16th best in NJCAA Div.1.
At Ball State, played in 30 games, starting 8, shooting 33% from field, 28% on 3s.
In H.S., was 3 year letterman, all-state as a junior – had to sit out senior year due to transfer rules.
JAYLEN (Maryland) ADAMS – 3 year H.S. starter - team was 34-5 his senior year, 32-8 his junior and 28-9 his soph – team won Md. A Conf and Baltimore Catholic league championships.
JORDON TYSON (NOT TYSON JORDON) – 1 year at Fishburne Military Prep. Team was 25-7, making National Prep championship with Jordon hitting 68% from the field and 79% from the F.T. line.
In H.S. as a senior was named to Eastern Cincinnati Conf. honorable mention – team was 27-2 and made it to Div 1 state semi-finals.
BONUS NEWCOMER – JALEN (Michigan) ADAMS – 25ppg, 13rpg playing in Michigan’s highest HS level – was Saginaw News Boys HS POY and AP state Class A All-State – senior year his team was 19-4 and won Saginaw Valley League Title
Bonus info ->(Oh, and he has a 40 inch vertical leap – GoBonnies notes that the best vert at the ’12 NBA Pre-draft combine was 38” by Harrison Barnes, second best was 34.5” by ’13 NBA ROY Damian Lillard)
AND NOW, a healthy dose of pure, undiluted Kool-Aid powder, consumed whilst wearing Rose-colored glasses:
I love that all of these guys are winners already. These type of kids can set the tone for years to come. As they mature into team leaders, I hope/expect their history of winning will make them demand the same of themselves, their teammates and coaches.
I am having trouble containing my mid- and long-term excitement and expectations for this group -we have shooters, slashers and sky-ers. I believe the guys will mesh and I really think/hope this is THE graduating class (to include Jalen) we have been waiting for and in 4 years will propel us to the top of the league and help in drawing in some top recruits to join them to keep us there for a while. I predict that in 10 and 20 years we will look back on this group as the one that started the new "golden-age of Bona hoops".
Kool-aid, anyone? Having been the one to issue cautions in the past about not getting too excited about kids who have yet to play a single college game, I feel a little foolish posting this, but what the hell - I believe!
Believe! - drink up! OK, feel free to start blasting me, but remember you heard it here first.
