Quote from: pmg911 on August 27, 2008, 11:43:06 AMDo you really think that Oz Cross & Kiami Young have had a bigger role in developing the basketball skills of their AAU players then the kids high school coaches..?High school season lasts 3 months...AAU season is year round. I developed a lot more with my AAU coach than I did with my high school coaches. Same for a lot of other players. As far as this particular situation...I don't know...but it would not surprise me if an AAU coach had a bigger role.

Especially on the practice floor.. ... Once again, there is a "reason" he ended up at Oakland(lol)... Let's just say the kid from Kentucky has a much better "attitude" & goes all out on every play.... plus, judging by that video he loves playing the game, goes hard to the hoop, has major hops/long arms & is basically fearless out there.. .. the only negatives i can see from the video is that he is a little "loose" with his dribble. His jumper didn't look half bad though... and yes i realize this is a "highlight" video. But a BLIND man could see this kid has talent & just needs to be developed.Come on...do you hear yourself? How do you know he goes all out all the time? A good jumpshot? By a 2 minute highlight video? I'm not saying he is a bust but I'm not making him out to be better than what he is. Fact is he is relatively unknown. Also do you think I was actually serious by judging his talent based off what he does when his name is announced? Its the same as Larry Wright. Its funny. Ironic. Its a joke.

Plus, in EVERY article u read about 'T' from the local kentucky newspaper(courier journal?) it lauds this kid for his effort & states how he was their best player(not scotty hopson) down the stretch. U also might want to re-read this thread & review the discussion i had with a guy from a kentucky message board who HAS actually seen him play. U might find it interesting.. .. btw - i realize it was a joke... just used it as an oppurtunity to point out that Wright & Edmondson are two totally different players... despite their similar physical attributes.http://fieldsnotes.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/h/http://forum.bluegrassinsider.com/yaf_postsm56_08-PG-Tyshawn-Edmundson--UHA.aspx
K's knowledge of the game is def and he could easly been a head coach on the PSAL or CHSAA but those jobs dont come along too often. Major D1 playa fo Don Haskins.
