Mica Highlights

[merrimanm]

I don't post much here, but read a lot in rafters. But those of you who don't know, this is my son. He has had one heck of a career.

We would greatly appreciate you guys giving Mica a follow and retweeting his highlights and things. Also, tag any coach (especially UK ones, lol) that you can. Any help to get him some.more recognition would be a blessing.

He did. Played for AE5 (Anthony Edwards team) going into his Jr year and then the Atlanta Timberwolves last summer.

Any college offers? Looks to be a good shooter on tape.

Yes. Has 5. He is a great shooter. But he is a natural PG. Loves to pass the ball. Underrated athlete.

As @TheySoSensitive said, he is a Reed Sheppard type of player. Very good comparison for Mica.

Alabama I think, I found some stuff online about him.

The "senior year" video indicates 6-5 and 168. Appears to have long arms and plays in balance and under control with his head up. Good prospect.

Looks like a natural scorer with some athleticism. I could see him getting some nice offers. Congrads Dad!

 

[JASUN74]

Heck of a shooter my friend. Nice player and he has a chance to be a good college player one day if he keeps working hard. Best of luck to you guys.

6'5, 175lbs. State of Alabama. Plays in the North East part of Alabama where basketball is very good at all levels. Benches 245. Strong kid.

Hard to speed him up. Plays at his own pace.

Why isn't he ranked by the recruiting services? He looks talented.

Because those rankings are all about politics. Recruiting in general is to be honest. You have to know people or be an absolute freak. He isn't a freak, but he is very good. His game isn't built to play above the rim. While is very athletic and can up there, most of the game is played below the rim. So that's how we built his game. It's why he fill every slot in the stat sheet.

Oh, I know about the politics BS. I am involved with the local football team down here and it is ridiculous. So many talented guys do not even get looked at. I figured as much. He looks talented man. What schools have looked at him?

Yeah I bet, if you don’t get on a top team early it’s hard to get noticed unless you are just so good you blow up like a Nate Ament type. I hope he gets some good offers. He may the perfect type who plays in the patriot league or something and has a great freshman year. Bulks up a bit and then transfers to a big school.

Exactly. You have to be very connected. And I am not. That's why I was hoping maybe some guys on here could help out by retweeting and tagging any coaches. Or, if any of you know any coaches personally.

I wish I did. I will share it online.

Kudos to you for getting the word out about your boy! Hope he kills it wherever he lands! With the transfer rules the way they are now, his journey is just beginning.

You surely sent tape on him to Pope?

I definitely would. Good looking athlete.

For sure.

He doesn't have an email listed. And they get so many, I am not sure he would get it. That's why I was thinking if a ton of people tagged coaches with all of his highlights posted on his X account then they would see it that way.

@MicaMerriman12 is his Twitter. Would love for you guys to retweet some of his videos. I think it would help tremendously.
