BOB-Day 1

Basketball On the Bayou has brought so many memories that will be forever embedded in my mind. I got my first look at McKenzie Calvert who just committed to Baylor, even though she hasn't played her first high school game and it brought me back to when my daughter, pictured to the right, was going at it against the big girls right here at Alario.

This is a tournament where you get to see Stars and Angels

And even more Angels

You also get to see those on the verge of SUPERSTARDOM! Brianna Turner has "can't miss" written all over her!

Watching DFW was sort of strange since I knew MJ wouldn't be giving me hug, cracking some jokes together and reminding me of how crazy I am.



The first time we played DFW was in BOB I guess around 7 or 8 years ago in one of the most exciting games I've ever witnessed. Over 30 three's between the teams in a triple overtime event that had coaches glued to their seats, on the main floor at that. 2013 Jada Terry, top left, has given a verbal to Texas.



I can see why Baylor swooped this kid up. Calvert is one of those players you don't want to blink at, with or without the ball. I'll get a better look at the future Bear later this week.




Another kid that's been high on my list since I saw her at Ganon Baker's camp last year is Jessica Jackson from Arkansas.

From what I've been told, the Acadiana Stars finished 3rd in AAU Nationals this year and after checking it out, they did beat a very good Georgia Elite team 59-57. The stars were very impressive as were the Elite when I watched them as well.






They played against Lakeside Scholars in an up and down match that wasn't over until the last few seconds

Nekia Jones is from the Class of 2013 and the big girl showed some razzle dazzle that had the crowd and myself going. Behind the back, spinning, between the legs, no look passes, you name it. After the step back three was dropped, "I SEE YOU" as Top 100 is in her future!!!!

Even though today was dead, as far as viewing for D1 coaches, I saw lot's of exciting action and talented players that will only get better today. Can't wait see Alexis Jones part 2!

Already verballed to the Vols?

That's the spin on another 2014 guard who showed me some stuff. Also in the house were the Blazers who have some of the top young talent in H- Town. It's always good to be in Louisiana but it''s even better when I can yell out HERB, were home baby!
