Sounds like WQUL has the game Friday and is on TuneIn radio. May be convenient to check out the future Bobcat on the way back from the Miami game this week.

Recap of the game against Gaffney. Sounds like they like to share the ball and play defense.

State championship appearance is the first ever for Dorman. Will be played in Columbia.

Nice piece on Zach and his running mate at guard...sounds like he may need to work on his outside shot...

Oh for God's sake stop it. We get it, you like Graves. But guess what? Zach picked us first and Graves didn't. I want someone who fits this team better and actually WANTS to be here.

Zach leads Dorman at 12.8 points per game, they play 10 guys so they spread it around a lot. When you play 10 every game and play strong defense as a team scoring isn't your top goal.

Other than this piece stating strengths of each player (nice story about them by the way!) what leads us to think his outside shot isn't good enough?

I'm excited to see he, Jaaron, Rodney, Dartis, Laster and Gollon all on the same team and the same time. That's a really good gathering of guards on OUr roster.

Winning a state championship on a team that goes 10 deep might be better preparation for being a Div I player than gaudier stats. Making the winning basket doesn't hurt, either. We need t bring in distributors to run our offense.

winners in the locker room. Guys who have played on teams that have won have a better understanding of what it takes to win. Sacrifice, teamwork, sharing, competition each day in practice. All intangibles that put us on the upward movement we have since JG came here and started filling the locker room with winners from the stars like DJ to the walk ons like DMac. Programs like the ones that produced Block, Kellogg, Dartis and others teach lessons and intangibles that come home when seasons wear on and games are on the line. Find a way. COngrats Dorman and Zach.

It's a shame that Lebron never got to go to one of those programs. Truth is Jayvon Graves never should have done this, he should have pulled up and shot a 3. Yes he shot a contested three at the buzzer to be beat Massilon Jackson, but it was too late. He should have did it here. The main thing is that Butler came back from surgery and led his team. Hopefully, he will be a great edition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaZiAloh-yo

Let me sum this up for you....Zach Butler = Bobcat, Jayvon Graves = NOT Bobcat and future rival. Time to actually get on the Butler bandwagon and stop with the lukewarm reception and obsession over Graves. He had his chance to commit here and didn't.

I'm confident Butler can dunk too but we need a floor general more than we need a guy who can dunk.

Pretty good lists. Looking at the commits the Carolinas are turning out some desired players.

Some pretty good names coming into the NCAA

Hunter Seacat and Santa Ana are going to be right up there ....no one touches Fennis Dembo though.....
