Peach Jam thread; Today 4 pm ET on ESPN2 for the 17U Title

[ralphdaltonfan]

Simeon Wilcher is a guard UK has reached out to in '23 as well and he had a big game in a tough win for NY Rens today over Boo Williams 54-51. Wilcher had a team high 14 pts with 5 rebs to go with that. Rens are the favorite to win the Peach Jam since Emoni Bates went back to play with his Dad's team for the EYBL.

Rens move to 3-0 in the Pool Play round of abbreviated EYBL Season.

JJ Taylor had 22 pts today on a good shooting/individual performance for Mac Irvin Fire-unfortunately it's their 3rd straight loss. Taylor has been the most impressive player on their team obviously.

Duren needs to go somewhere with a really good big man, so he can play some out on the perimeter.

Maybe a team that already has a 6’9, 260 lbs Center.

I wonder where he could find a team like that?

Is UK even involved with Bradley now.? Haven't heard much in a while.

I don't believe they are but who knows with what happened. Things seem trending towards Alabama right now for Bradley and Jarace Walker his teammate from IMG.

Bradley is a talented guy in fast pace, but a lot of TO's. For instance today he had a game with 8 assists and 8 TO's. He's also not shooting the 3pt shot at all and that was something a lot of schools said he had to improve--he's responded after missing all Spring by just avoiding taking them, but he's talented player.

Walker, when healthy, is a monster.

Bradley Beal Elite pummeled Mac Irvin Fire tonight. 81-54

Brandon Miller was the best player on the court when the game was contested which was cosmetic in score only for a Half.

Miller ended up with 14pts, 10 Rebs, 3 blocks but he did so much more--brings ball up and plays point at top of key in their offense. Smooth player. Had a 3 wiped out by a shot clock violation too that was smooth.

Nick Smith Jr had a big 2nd Half after quiet 1st and ended up with 16, 5 Rebs, and 7 Assists.

Mac Irvin is god awful. No idea why they don't call up JJ Taylor who is losing at the 16U level. At least they'd be watchable.

Good news for UK--at 11 am Team Final is playing Seattle Rotary on Court 1-so they can sit where they have access to both courts.

I've got a Memorial Service to attend tomorrow and then at AAU event locally for most of weekend so with the live period tomorrow hope some other guys step up to help Smash out. Appreciate him doing this every weekend to help us keep up and wanted to help him. It's a great thread to keep up and when out it gets you to the info quickly.

Yeah, WCS with a jumper. We need to get this guy. Can’t afford him to wind up at UNC or duke. We need the momentum swung back in our direction.

 

[Smashcat]

Next week. This is a different elongated version this year, I assume because of covid. Final 17U game is Sunday July 25.

Wallace does good this game and he could get an offer. Jai probably saying “you’ll see coach, this kid is legit” lmao.

I was thinking the same.

I really hope we get Lively! I like his game.

If Wallace didn't earn his offer today, I'm not sure what more he needs to do. That dude competes.

We need to get this guy locked up, before tennessee gets him. Lucas has wanted this guy offered for a while.

Agree. UK wanted a bigger combo to run with Clark. Looks like he checks all the boxes.

Unoffical stats for Sharpe and Wallace. 9 assists by Wallace is very sweet.
