If we talkin “evidence”, then we also need some actual evidence backing up of claims of “elite D-2 schools who are better than 1/3 of D-1 teams in the country.”

I couldn’t really give a damnn either way, but you all brought it up.*

Kayser (Nova Southeastern)
Montgomery (West Liberty)
*No “evidence” but they’ve publicly committed.

I think they know that, but they wanted the evidence that those schools are better than the lower 1/3 of D1

Those are outstanding D2’s, but I don’t know the comparison between them and the lower end of D1. I do know that there are several dreadful D1’s, but that goes for every level.

All 3 of the “top” players in tomorrow’s game are outstanding. I look forward to getting down there and calling the game. Should be fun.

Thanks for the info, but not helpful to the “evidence” requested.*

Spot-on, Dani. Looking forward to you guys on the call tonight.*

Doors opening at 4:45 @ The Nest. Expect the bleachers and the crows nest to be filled up tonight so if you and a place to sit/stand I’d get there before 5

What "evidence" are you looking for? If you know these two D-2 programs and you follow college basketball, including the low-major conferences, that's all you need. Do you question whether they have been offered and committed, or do you question how good those teams are?

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Roberts gonna have a D1 game tonight for sure.

You claimed those D2 schools are "better than 1/3 of D-1 teams in the country." Your exact words. What actual "evidence" do you have to back that claim? Your personal opinion doesn't equal evidence. With that being said, and before you start combing the internets looking for something to back your claim, I really couldn't care less.

The point is that you're the one who started with this junk about "evidence" when SWBasketball provided info as to schools who may have previously offered Roberts. So I gotta ask then, what "evidence" are YOU looking for? Original written offers that Roberts received? That may be hard for SWBasketball to come up with. We talmbout "evidence" on Seopreps

I don’t think hookshot has ever watched the boy play. Fact is he’s 6’8 and not 5’9 like Myles and still plays the wing and drops 30 when he wants. And he finally got some help this season off the court and the improvement has been evident. Good grief. I know for a fact Marshall was on him

1. I've seen Roberts play 4 or 5 times this season and multiple times last year.
2. He's got tremendous upside and can take over a game by intimidating in the paint and hitting mid-range and 3-point shots.
3. It is very unusual for a college to offer a scholarship and then take it back off the table.
4. Recruiting, contacting, expressing interest, etc. are not offers.
5. There are reliable websites and organizations that track college recruiting, offers, commitments.

I have no special interest in Minford and I'm beginning to think they may be relying too much on Montgomery and Kayser. Foul trouble or even a minor injury and they are in trouble. Tonight's game should be a great one.

This is an opinion board. My opinion is the schools Montgomery and Kayser have committed to are elite D-2 programs that are equal to or better than 1/3 of the D-1 programs in the country. I've believed this about high-quality D-2 programs for the past 12 years.

Interesting commentary from a South Webster fan on this site a couple months ago:

"I’ve waited for someone to say it. But since no one will it needs to be said. This SW team is better without the missing player. Nothing personal. It’s just true. Addition by subtraction carries weight. The subtraction was a superb talent. But the addition is consistency. With the superb talent tha..."

[SouthEast Hoops Fan]

Enough. How about we get back to discussing the actual game that is 7 hours away? I’ll say Minford by 9.

Word on the street in SW from a reliable source is the Jeeps have 4 players sick right now including ER, White, Barnard & McClintic. Hopefully they’re all feeling well enough to play or this may be a big disappointment for many in attendance tonight*

A lot of sickness going around. Some schools cancel or post-pone when that happens.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Next man up. Bennett and little Barnard can do it

[The Ghost of Swanker]

This how the jeeps will be tonight

This how the jeeps will be tonight

Love it hopefully everyone is healthy enough to play

[SWBASKETBALL]

Idk who that reliable source is, but I think people are confusing sinuses with an actual sickness. Weather is changing and yes; a little clogginginess is gonna happen, but I think all 4 of those guys are gonna be able to play.

[Eugene_2010]

Watching Montgomery shoot around before a game is like watching a shorter, white version of Stephen Curry. Crazy to think that he might only be the 3rd best player on the floor tonight(shots fired)
