The craziness of high school basketball

Check out this comment from a review of high school hoops by Dave Telep, a big name in recruiting:

Sophomore of the Summer: Easy pick. In fact, it’s quite conceivable that this is the best prospect in all of high school basketball. Greg Oden, at 6-11 and 235 pounds is a freak. There’s no telling how good he’s going to be but the smart play is watch him as much as you can for the next three years before it starts costing money to attend his games.

I actually found a message board where they were discussing the best 7th graders in Texas hoops. The following of these kids is amazing and probably way overdone.

On the other side - are you kidding me???? This kid is STARTING his sophomore year in high school now and is already 6'11", 235 lb. Holy crap.
