Out of Bounds do you care to share what level your college coaching friends think Justice will end up at?

Jimmy Chipwood, your two categories for exposure are right on. I couldn't agree more.

[sparky]

isn't there another justice coming up?

[hbk2016]

It is the University of Rio Grande!

Yeah Sparky, he's a 6th grader currently I think and may even end up being an all around better player than his brother! There's a girl in junior high also.

Blake still is young and maturing but If he had the athleticism of a Marc Kremin to go along with the skill and basketball IQ that he no doubt has I believe he would be a bonafide D1 players. Same probably could be said for His father and Uncle.

I'm not sure "athleticism" is the correct word, size would be the better word. As far as athleticism, all 3 were/are very athletic.

[jimmy chipwood]

I think you have a different defintion of athleticism. My definition (concentrating on basketball) is the ability to run and jump and have quickness. Agility, first step and lateral foot speed, and the ability to get off the floor explosively. I have played a lot of ball with Brian and Brett and I dont think they would even say that they were elite athletes? They are great, skilled, basketball players not athletes by my definition. You hear this all the time and it kind of sums up the definition of an athlete "Bigger, Faster, Stronger". They just need to add Quicker on to it.

Honestly he is just a sophomore, and still has room for improvement. He has all tools and ability to play on the next level. He is on there radar, but that is about it. They don't get too excited for sophomores that are not top tier if you know what I mean? That is no slam on Justice, but he still needs to move up the prep charts to get real looks. Next year will be his big deciding year. He needs to get on a good AAU team, and travel to the major tournaments between his Jr. and Sr. year. Not this local crap that is nothing but a money racket. My personal opinion he is a nice NAIA player. People look down on NAIA, but it is really good basketball. Way better than Div. III and Div. III can't offer athletic scholarships. It is very competitive with Div. II. No shame in playing NAIA.

[peeblesbuck]

I think I read in a post somewhere that he plays with an AAU team out of Mansfield. Not sure how many tournaments they play in or how far they travel, but they must be pretty good for them to travel that far.

Out of Bounds, thank you for the reply and very good objective analysis.
