Went to see a friend's grandson on the Old School Cavs last night at the Donofrio Tourney in Conshohocken.
(My friend's grandson got his father's looks and his mother's height; it would have been better for his hoops career the other way around -- terrific basketball instincts but probably a D-II because he's maybe 5-9 heading into his senior year)
Second game: Cavs vs. Chester County All-Stars
Cavs are Lamar Stevens' team. Stevens was everything you'd expect.
But the guy who really impressed me was Cameron Reddish (6-7 junior shooting guard from Westtown). he scored 20 - I like the way he sees the court and he was going hard all the time. Good hands, went to the rim for rebounds.
Judging from the list of interested schools, Temple has no chance. But I DO encourage Dunphy to recruit him so we can see how good he'll look in a Villanova uniform. [This WAS intended as sarcasm when I wrote it.]
There were a couple of Church Farm kids on the Chester County All-Stars. Fred Odhiambo (sophomore) and another kid (a junior) whose name I cannot remember. Both about 6-9/6-10 and still colt-like because they haven't quite grown into their legs and arms (and feet).
Also, a couple of shooters from Coatesville on the Chesco team - senior Rome Boyer and Hogarth (?), who I think is just a freshman. That was hard to believe because the kid's instincts (knowing when to pass, etc) were terrific.
First game: James Fox vs. We R 1.
We R 1: A kid from Notre Dame in Trenton, Isaiah Wong. Another freshman. Gorgeous shot. Real court presence, especially for a kid so young.
James Fox: Lots of freshmen and sophs. No one stood out the way Wong did but team came back from 12 down to cut the lead to two or three mid-second half. Nice moxie.
We go back to the Donofrio April 6.
