Shamorie Ponds, G, Jefferson HS, NYC - ST JOHN'S

I think the game is in 5 hours on espn2

Does anyone know what time and day the Jordan Brand game will be? Also, which game is he in? Is it the national game, or the regional game?

National
ESPN2 at 8

Expecting this kid to dominate and show the country how good he really is. I hope the other guards got their ankles taped well.

This is the first time I've felt confident one of our recruits would do more than just show he belongs in the game.

agreed marillac. this kid is the bees knees. Looking forward to seeing him sub in

Ponds on west team. That makes so much sense

Well technically he is going east to college

His best play so far was an impressive spinning drive after going coast to coast...it just missed but looked like it was tipped at/on rim. Missed a rushed trey off the bounce. Hit a layup. Had the crowd going crazy with some fancy dribbling. His teammates are not getting him wide open looks when he's set. Monk specifically. The other PG on his team looks VERY good.

very few passes

Impossible to judge anything here.  Shamori seems to be relaxed and cruising.  Not going after it too hard. He's silky smooth with the ball.  Other guys are going 100mph to try to show off.  None of the wings/forwards want to pass.  It's an all star game.

Of course

Plus two kids injured already.

No point risking the long term for a few all star points

Alterique Gilbert really looked like he messed his shoulder.  Definitely not worth it, but was seemingly innocuous play.  It happens though.

Scary but I think Spellman will be as good or better than Ochefu very soon.  Nova will continue to roll.  They lose Archie but their interior game will be better with Spellman and the transfer from Fordham.

If Hart stays they will be a force for sure. Great program!

1) I think Hart will probably stay.  Jenkins said today he's coming back and I think Hart could use another year, but could go either way.

2) Brunson isn't nearly the offensive player that Archie was, but like I said, I think the rest of the roster is bullet proof.  Paschall will make a big difference as well.  They could repeat as champs amazingly imo.

Agree

Shamori picking it up.  Kid is effortless going to the hoop.  He's really just relaxed out there and not forcing anything but, moves with the ball amazingly.  Instead of throwing up lazy threes, he can take any of these high level guys off the dribble.

Shamorie Ponds -- only NY player in the game -- starting to make some plays here. Little fella is up to 15 points (6-12 FG). Real shifty.

We are most fortunate we didn't lose this kid to Providence. Was a close one.
